Wrong. Not everyone one the site is married, the purpose of the site is to pair up *someone* (who may or may not be single) with someone who is married and looking to be infidelitous. In the described scenario, the women married to the guy with the medical condition is fulfilling the cheating requirement, hence why she is on this site. For all you know she may have specifically selected to only be paired up with single men, specifically to avoid screwing around with someone else's relationship. If you truly feel a bit sorry for the women then you have to acknowledge that this is actually the correct site for her to be on, as users of a regular dating website would not be expecting and probably be very weirded out by finding out she was married.

Are you disagreeing with me? Because I know all this, the OP specifically said that it was nuts and bolts, and I agree that it's incredibly unlikely that they would have drilled and tapped all the holes instead of just using the appropriate bolts. If you're disagreeing with me I'm not sure what you're disagreeing with.

Because as long as the nut fits the bolt its on (and the bolt fits through the hole and the lips of both overlap the edges of the hole appropriately) then it doesn't matter if both the nut and bolt are metric, standard, or some other completely different system. Nut and bolt have to be paired, but it's not like you can only put standard nuts / bolts on an American car.

High voltage is only dangerous because it can enable large amounts of current to flow through your body (assuming large amounts of current are available), the current is what actually kills you. The IC that drives the display is only capable of driving 1 mA which is only barely at the threshold of perception and not in any way dangerous. http://www.allaboutcircuits.co...

Freezing / boiling point of pure water at sea level. It's a fine way to define a measurement scale, but there are several arbitrary decisions in there. Why water? Why not salt water at ocean-average saltiness? Why sea level? Arbitrary. Convenient perhaps if you're working with scientific applications where 1 atmosphere or pressure is a commonly defined unit, but still arbitrary. Fahrenheit is also arbitrary. It's also perhaps more convenient when dealing with air temperatures. 100 = "It's really hot out there", 0 = "It's really cold out there".
