@benjojo absolute unit

@benjojo @coldclimate wait, you can find a pre-made m64?

The biggest I could find was m56

@secretbatcave @benjojo @coldclimate several German shops even offer M68 with a standard pitch, and bigger ones with a fine pitch

@secretbatcave @benjojo @coldclimate here's an m72:

Free will existing also tells me that I would not want to be the ER nurse tasked with removing that from someone's junk.

@silvermoon82 @benjojo if someone can get that stuck, they'll receive a complimentary commemorative award along with the removal

I think youbare right. 1 is perfectly reasonable. But 2 might be a bit excessive.

@brouhaha @benjojo

@benjojo

(nut rate)

@benjojo I have one of these on my desk as a paperweight. It’s is very effective in this role ;-)

@benjojo the craziest thing is that comically large nuts are actually used

@benjojo wow that's nuts

@thechaoszone @benjojo Oh, I know what I'm doing next year.

If I can convince my Boss to help me with buying there.

And have the financial means to justify that shitpost

@benjojo I am occasionally reminded that a good shitpost will never stay in a small circle

I once saw a spanner for M240 nuts. It was operated with a crane, though it looked just like any spanner, just bigger.
It was at the building site of Europipe II terminal at Emden-Knock. I only had to operate a shovel, moving up to 5 metric tons of ground bricks a day. Though it was just hard work, I learned a lot. Especially the safety instruction at the first day contained a lot of info about pipelines, gas under pressure, possible failures and how to deal (run!) with them...
