Yeah. If you picture two of the gears moving, you'll see that the third gear would be pulled in both directions.
I believe that's my hey. Hey!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hec, did you see the short-haired model story I linked to in Natter?

This is totally the kind of thing I can't picture at all. I would need to see them in action to understand.

I did! One of the good things about being a Buffista is that Jilli will have a thousand eyes looking for bat related accessories, billytea will never miss an echidna reference and anytime there's a short hair trend I'll be alerted.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Think of it this way: any gear will make the gear it turns go the other direction, right? If a gear moves clockwise, it will cause the interlocking gear to go counterclockwise, and vice-versa.
So Gear 1, if turned clockwise, will make Gear 2 turn counterclockwise.
Except it's also touching Gear 3, which means it will also make Gear 3 turn counterclockwise.
Unfortunately, Gear 3 is also touching Gear 2, so it will attempt to make Gear 2 turn clockwise.
Then you have a problem.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Then you have a problem.
And then things start going "ping!" and flying about the place. There may be fire.

And your mechanic will tell you a bunch of unrelated things need to be replaced.

thanks. I do understand it. I just don't really get it, you know? I can't see it happening in my head. It's my disability!

It looked perfectly fine to me. I can't see anything like that unless I actually *see* it in motion. This could be why math is a problem for me.

Yes, I chose to live here, where Alaska Airlines is the only option and thus soaks us at every opportunity.
