How come Pornstars don't teach Master Classes? So the average joe or joness can improve relationships and get better orgasms. Who would be better than pornstars?
That's like asking why Scarlett Johansson doesn't give martial arts lessons because she plays black widow.
The skills that make porn look good and the skills that make you good at sex may be distantly related but any overlap is a coincidence.
You're better off learning how to make friends and build relationships with people.

Effectiveness of hi-vis in car traffic
I drive a motorcycle regularly. I make it a habit to check where people ahead of me are looking (by looking into their side mirrors) so I can predict whether they'll merge into me.
About 1/3 of drivers are on their phones, not looking at the road at any given time

What kind of a gift can you give your teacher out of respect, but that doesn’t get mistaken for romance?
A heartfelt, handwritten thank-you letter telling them they're a great teacher and how they positively impacted your life.

What's the worst way you ever broke production?
I didn't call out a specific dimension on a machined part; instead I left it to the machinist to understand and figure out what needed to be done without explicitly making it clear.
That part was a 2 ton forging with two layers of explosion-bonded cladding on one side. The machinist faced all the way through a cladding layer before realizing something was off.
The replacement had a 6 month lead time.

There are other more efficient working fluids for power transfer but water is pretty hard to beat due to it not being toxic or an environmental hazard.

Magnetic tape can last multiple decades. There's no telling whether THIS magnetic tape lasted that long, but the medium is pretty hardy.

A cool guide to Epicurean paradox
Fun fact, if you arrive at this conclusion as an 8 year old in Sunday school at your ultra fundamentalist Baptist Church and proceed to tell the teacher, you get yelled at and spanked by the teacher and your parents! Ask me how I know.
