I haven't seen the show in years but I remember it having a slightly ironic/subversive undercurrent? I always read Tim Taylor as a bit of a caricature, that his whole grunting macho overdo everything attitude almost always backfired on him and he'd be better off calming the fuck down.

Exhibit A: The character of Al Boreland, who is...well basically he's Norm Abram. While still outwardly traditionally masculine, wearing a full beard, a flannel shirt a tool belt to his contractor's job, he's very secure in his manhood, confident without being macho, soft spoken and even gentle. A perfect foil to Tim Taylor, who finds kindred spirits in Clark Griswold and Jeremy "POWAAA" Clarkson. If you're really on board with the MAGA alpha male bullshit, do you write a character like Al Boreland?

I think, like a lot of folks on the right, Tim Allen followed the Republican party as they sprinted toward fascism. I think Allen was in on the joke in the 1990s and became the joke in the 2010s.

I use my fingers then I rinse them off in the sink.

Yep, it works the other way around. Even legs uneven floor.

@[email protected] is citing a mathematical proof that basically states if you have a table whose feet form 4 points on a flat rectangle, that table can find a stable resting spot anywhere on an uneven surface only by rotating the table, you do not have to translate the table, only rotate it.

Your example, while practical, breaks that model because it only works if the continuous surface is uneven and the four independent points are coplaner. If you make the reverse true, with a table that has 4 even legs and put it on a floor that can be described as two triangles (what you would get if you connected 3 even length legs and one shorter) you could rotate the table to find somewhere all four legs touch.

This is why it is very important for us woodworkers to make table and chair legs the same length, or failing that, add adjustable feet, becasue us carpenters don't know what the fuck we're doing.
