I work with #IEC61508 #safety systems, and some of our colleagues were talking about a contractor that does SIL4 systems who builds tank.
We all chuckled that tanks are safety certified, I made a snarky remark the tanks are not SIL4 certified if you're brown.

The food processor blade was stuck for good, was bummed out. I saw our pair of stainless steel tongs and used it as a grip and lever, alas it came loose.
Ran to my wife with the contraption and said

Our kitchen is still not done yet, I made some microwave scrambled eggs today. Not bad, added some veggies, milk, bit of cheese and added some left over takeout soy sauce.
Had it with some salad we made yesterday. I'm full!
