If I were John, I would send away for a replacement set
of the Capresso burrs (Swiss), and figure out how to retrofit
his B&D burr grinder with them. Because burrs don't last forever.

Oops, sent inadvertently!!

I did a Buy It Now on an old KitchenAid A9 coffee mill off Ebay! An
AMERICAN MADE KitchenAid!!

And better yet for the burrs on my cheap Chinese Black and Decker, I
have a set of replacement burrs!! On the nonfunctional redundant
grinder that didn't work electrically out of the box!! Thanks for
reminding me!!

Hypodermic needles are tougher than human tissue too, but I saw a
microphotograph of a needle that was new, used once, used three times
and used seven times, and the amount of tip deformation was amazing!!
I wish I could find that pic online!

My wife got really ****ed off at her friend that cannot give shots
because she's chicken. One time the dosage was incorrect so the chicken
had to correct the mistake. She used the same needle on the rubber seal
of the drug vial and when my wife attempted to give the injection, the
needle bounced off the guy's skin. It's embarrassing for this to happen
to an RN. As they say, no good deed goes unpunished...

People of my generation might be excused for fearing injections. I
remember when the school nurse would be administering shots.... yes...
we had school nurses.... and they would use the same needle for everyone
in the class.

Years later I was in university and got a job as animal caretaker in
the Psychology department. I had to get a tetanus shot. I put it off for
weeks. I finally got the shot and I didn't feel a thing.

You're right about that, reusing a needle would be a no-no today. The
needle gauges available today are quite fine. It's amazing!

Actually, it's the sediment carried by water that erodes stone.

Sediment helps, but water can do it perfectly well on it's own, being
a solvent and all...

Some waterjets use nothing more than water (without abrasives) for
cutting, so how does that work if water cannot erode stone on it's
own?

We have a lot of granite around here that gets eroded by very pure
water, again no abrasives required.

Not a bad one but I think what is being talked about is more in the
sense of "abrasion" whereas cavitation erosion is more akin to a gas
bubble "hammering" effect.

http://tinyurl.com/o4x3u3h

To be sure, in both instances, matter is removed.

Had a case recently where an input line filter was clogged in a Benz
power steering pump. We could tell it was cavitating because of the
noise it created and, had we not rectified the situation it would have
caused pitting which is a different effect from the abrasion markings
caused by foreign particle contamination. The end result would have been
the same, a prematurely worn out component.

Given the average age at completion of a Ph.D, the average age of a
graduate from 45 years ago would probably place you in your late 70s at
best but more likely in your 80s. I am currently tutoring a Ph.D student
and she will be 40 on completion, a fairly typical age. Two of my
previous students were 37 and 35 respectively.

Anyway, congrats on managing to stay in your field for your entire
career. My preferred career path vanished before I had even completed a
Masters. Such is the transitory nature of modern careers!
