h/t to Drew for the joke that i put into the meme at the start

h/t to James H for the 3D printed Vernier scale

and the best hat doffing of all to the folk on Mastodon who joined in the little thread where we were using AI bots to generate fun images of the Statue of Liberty looking chagrined.

Many thanks to all the folk who have been talking and commenting online about this topic and sharing knowledge as well as their own question. Hopefully, some of my answers here can be useful... Enjoy!
