Water is now flowing up. Truly chaotic times.

Sometime waawwrrrrr

I have a book with his autograph and a picture with him, and then a few years later learned who he really is. Made me sad.

4 was a weird ride, but the last fifty pages ended the series well for me. Enough that when I closed the book there was a moment of sadness that the story I read as a child was finally concluded.

Bean books were amazing. Bought them all on hardback for $5 and felt guilty thinking they should have been more.

They do, because 99% of the time “that person right there!” is someone trying to take a picture of the president.

I always thought the USSS was the GOP.

Look up “Sardonic Grin”. It’s one of those things that makes you think this is interesting, and also never going to eat wild plants again.

It’s crazy to me how we went from buying a complete game for $50, and now we get an enshitified, half completed mobile game for free but people spend hundreds of dollars playing it.

And it’s nowhere near as good.

Why I likes the ABET requirement for engineering. Still have an 80% fail rate due to the standards, and you get audited for coursework.

I have yet to meet an employer who will hire an engineer from a non-ABET school.

A buddy of mine spent several thousand on Marvel Heroes. He wouldn’t go out to lunch with us, and finally I asked him what was going on. He eventually told me, we had a “dude…we are adults and can’t be doing that shit. Imagine the hookers and drugs you could have bought!”

He quit, but still tells me he thinks about it and is immediately filled with regret.

Post your spectral emissivity study or GTFO!

The UL one is very applicable.

Chinese motor manufactures will often copy a design (completely rip it off) and make changes to make it even cheaper to manufacture. These make the motor no longer UL compliant. Sometimes these changes lead to it becoming unsafe, but good luck suing a Chinese manufacturer in China if your house burns down. However, they will still put a UL sticker on it and call it a day.

I used to work in motors and turbines and will outright refuse a motor made in China. Always buy motors from US or Mexican manufacturers (inside the US, cannot speak for EU). A good way to find out where the motor was made is looking to see the company that made it - and 100% your HVAC company didn’t manufacture the motor, they bought it from a B2B supplier you likely never heard of.

Keep moving those goalposts to make Elon look good. Maybe someday he will matter.

Dude is a fraud, an Edison. Stop worshipping pieces of shit.

Which Elon has contributed nothing. He isn’t an engineer, he isn’t a scientist, he doesn’t even understand free body diagrams. He is fucking stupid.

He is not first named on all of them, which means he likely advised masters and PhD/post docs on their work. It’s not uncommon.

This many papers is uncommon, but how it happened is not out of the norm.

Because they don’t chatter in like a sub-70 IQ Harpy wanting attention?

Musk is a fraud. He was never accepted into a PhD program. He lied about his physics degree and was awarded one while not attending after daddy gave money to the school. He doesn’t know shit about science, engineering, or literally anything except how to be an edgelord.

Dude is a fucking loser and companies succeed in spite of him.

It was Ryu.

Eric the God Eating Penguin already killed them all. We are safe.
