When I went to college, we had a very similar rig to demonstrate the slope response of forestry machines. It was multi-directional though. The machine was driven onto the platform and there was a hydraulic ram below the centre point. The platform could be hinged on one of two axes - either front to back or side to side. White knuckles sitting in the drivers seat when you hit the tipping point! Our gear didn't have a top deck, though.
I think it's probably just my age that fools people into thinking I'm a grown-up.
Hahaha..I had a double decked bus at that angle when I was a young apprentice mechanic. Only problem was two of the wheels were down a pit when I skidded while going too fast on a wet floor. Foreman wasn't too happy
And the old man says no. Then the young man tells him he was his student, And the teacher asks:
“What do you do, what do you do in life?" The young man answers:
“Well, I became a teacher.”
“Ah, how good, like me?” Asks the old man.
“Well, yes. In fact, I became a teacher because you inspired me to be like you.”
The old man, curious, asks the young man at what time he decided to become a teacher. And the young man tells him the following story:
“One day, a friend of mine, also a student, came in with a nice new watch, and I decided I wanted it.
I stole it, I took it out of his pocket.
Shortly after, my friend noticed the his watch was missing and immediately complained to our teacher, who was you.
Then you addressed the class saying, ‘This student's watch was stolen during classes today. Whoever stole it, please return it.’
I didn't give it back because I didn't want to.
You closed the door and told us all to stand up and form a circle.
You were going to search our pockets one by one until the watch was found.
However, you told us to close our eyes, because you would only look for his watch if we all had our eyes closed.
We did as instructed.
You went from pocket to pocket, and when you went through my pocket, you found the watch and took it. You kept searching everyone's pockets, and when you were done you said ‘open your eyes. We have the watch.’
You didn't tell on me and you never mentioned the episode. You never said who stole the watch either. That day you saved my dignity forever. It was the most shameful day of my life.
But this is also the day I decided not to become a thief, a bad person, etc. You never said anything, nor did you even scold me or take me aside to give me a moral lesson.
I received your message clearly.
Thanks to you, I understood what a real educator needs to do."
The old professor answered, ‘Yes, I remember the situation with the stolen watch, which I was looking for in everyone’s pocket. I didn't remember you, because I also closed my eyes while looking.’
This is the essence of teaching:
If to correct you must humiliate; you don't know how to teach.”
I didn't use to need the internet, my wife knew everything.
