It has been run for I think over a hundred years. Quite famous.
Anyway, I was thinking I would use flat, smooth soled boots, so they skate down the hill. You might reach about 40 mph though!
Apparently the cheese is doing 80 mph at the bottom.
There are a few famous sports in the UK. Shin kicking while wearing white coats is one, then there is a football match between two villages, each team has about a thousand men, and the objective is to get the ball into the other persons church or some such. Of course the injuries are famous.

Working on commercial inkjet printing systems[^] would be a whole lot more fun if it wasn't for all the stinkin' messy damned hardware.
The pointy-haired types want a warning when the machine has been running for 48 hours straight without a maintenance stop. The code was written by someone who is long departed, and I've made a valiant effort to not disturb the ambient artwork while adding this new feature.
Getting this working has been a PITA.

I remember the mess from my commercial inkjet dev days - that ink wouldn't travel far to correctly mark the product, but it would go a looooong way out of it's way to wreck another shirt ...
I think my least favorite part was handling materials compatibility with the inks - the damned aliphatic hydrocarbon base was a PITA to deal with. And what it was OK with the solvent based ink would eat.

Fortunately we haven't done solvent-based inks in a long time; the fumes were horrible.

Not fun, but better than MEK. Didn't have the drying time though, but you could use them in chocolate factories.

We tested with MEK for a while. One of the programmers here had his lab moved to another part of the building the fumes were so bad.

Yeah - and chocolate has an "affinity" for it: carry a CIJ through a chocolate factory and the whole lot tastes of it. Fortunately we never got involved - too much hassle for the profit we'd have made.

As much as I'd love too, this stuff supports a lot of older equipment that isn't available here at our plant any longer. I wouldn't have any way to test it, other than shipping it off to a customer. My bosses frown on that sort of thing .

I once did a project for a purveyor of very expensive ink that measured the volume of individual droplets of ink. The units of measure were picoliters.

The drops our current systems produce are 11.4 pL (picoliters) and 9.8 pL. We actually count the things as a means of measuring ink usage; unsigned __int64 , anyone?

I can't really discuss why, but I thought I'd mention it, because if I don't, nobody else would.
