Yes. It's a nomenclature thing. ASME calls the permanently-installed containers tanks in their regulatory documents. Department of Transportation calls the portable containers cylinders in their regulatory documents. They're all cylindrical to some degree, though the shape of the ends may vary from completely flat to completely hemispherical or anywhere in between depending on manufacturer and usage.

Tank/cylinder is also an easy way to distinguish between the two without having to say "permanent" or "portable" each time you mention one.

While we are at it, why do we drive on a parkway but park in a driveway?


All rectangles are squares but not all squares are rectangles?

And either way, don't drink bourbon or whisky whilst on the parkway.

Is it shaped like a cylinder or a tank?

All bourbons and whiskeys are good, even the bad ones. Labels don't mater much.

Ask the guys who invented roadways, they may have an answer.

I am currently in my driveway, parked. So I am good to go?
However, it is a school night so beer it'll have to be.

Unless I feel like some sparkling wine, or is it champagne?

I would beg to disagree.

All squares are quadrilaterals.
All rectangles are quadrilaterals.
Quadrilaterals are either squares or rectangles, but are not both.

Is that a good whiskey?

No need to beg to disagree. That's exactly why this Argue thread is here.

I never did well with geometry or spacial relations.

I'll take rhomboids for $1,000 please, Alex.

Can we discuss cubes now - of the iced variety - which might be required for a highball?

And those who want to argue that one never defiles scotch, whisky, bourbon, or rye with ice or soda can just bite me. [emoji35]
🤣🤣🤣

How about that? Cylinders, ice vapor, geometry, blah, blah...., however, the clouds have lightened and moved away from surrounding our house and we are no longer fogged in. I was an engineering major for two months, but found it interfered with drinking, so I switched to liberal arts. My brother-in-law is an engineer, thus proving to me I made the correct choice.

I did do well in high school math and geometry, but never did we discuss tesseracts. I want a house built like a tesseract so I can go to other dimensions where I have more hair and am younger.

Younger is good. More hair is overrated.

I reached a point in my male pattern baldness where God abandoned the pattern and started coloring flesh tones outside the lines.

So I decided to erase the lines and shave my head entirely.* Though I do spend more time on my grooming to keep it shaved, it's still so much easier and looks so much better.
*Or as I put it the last time I took my fiancée to the hair salon and told the story to the cosmetologist, "I decided to take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure." Spoken as I slowly rub my shiny solar-powered brainpan for emphasis…

A personal decision, of course. I prefer self deception since some still grows on top and my comb works well and I have many baseball caps.

But how can it be easier and take more time? Surely a question for a physics major schooled in the intricacies of quantum mechanics, or as a duck with a vocal problem might say, "quark, quark!"

Well I don't think I understood before and I know I don't understand now.

Anyone really understand anything?

Think I will run a shmoo plot on my brain it may need a little tweaking.

Duration does not determine complexity. Shaving a whole head takes longer than shaving a face. But it's simpler than trying to trim sideburns and the lower edge of the fringe in back; especially when you don't have enough hair left to make a trip to be barber cost-effective.

But the ultimate example is killing time. There's no fast way to kill time. Killing an hour takes an hour to do. But there are simple ways to kill an hour, and complicated ways to kill an hour. There are interesting ways and boring ways. But no matter what activity you use to fill that hour, it still takes an hour. Thus duration has no direct correlation to complexity.

I just have to figure out a way to make the world always look at me the way I look at myself in a mirror. From that perspective, it looks like I still have hair. It's only from the side or the back that one is faced with an alternate reality.

Going back to the tire pressure forum or best hitch one. This mandolin pining for lost hairs is too much for me. Going nostalgic for what I lost 35 years ago and still survived.

But before I go, I hate overcast days sans hat the most, which worse, rain, sunny, or what?

All bad for different reasons:

Rain without a hat makes my glasses useless (or annoying if just drizzle).

Sun without a hat makes me lobsteresque. The burn hurts bad enough, then the peeling is quite literally disgusting.

Snow without a hat is RIGHT OUT!

Autumn in New England with or without a hat is lovely.

Argue this. We have a few experts on here that give their advice about what they know and leave it at that. We also have some self proclaimed experts who comment on anything and everything as if they are allknowing. These people usually do not tolerate any view different than their own.. They also mis interpret what another poster says to make their own opinion seem valid.. Anyone want to argue this because i know it all.!! Not serious of course!
