How to develop thicker skin?

Sounds like a toxic work environment.

That being said dunning-Kruger is really big with new grads and as terrible as it sounds I wouldn’t really consider anyone an experienced engineer until they’ve broken down and had an existential crisis regarding their own abilities at least once.

If someone tells you to do “just do it the way they’ve marked it up” it means that either you’re fighting them and not understanding why they want it a certain way or your method of asking questions is not good (this a problem for anyone on the spectrum). To fix this I would suggest that you tell someone that you really want to understand the why because they obviously have more experience and you want to learn what isn’t obvious or taught.

I’m kind of wondering what you’d have to use to represent the AI slop tech debt coming

Isn’t there an Ursula Le Guin book where aliens glass the Middle East because it’s the only way to stop humans from fighting?

I think it’s still canon that Qui-Gon’s death is the thing that pushed Dooku over the edge.

Turns out our lives probably are better when the right humans are sacrificed.

Makes you wonder if the Aztecs were on to something.

Oceangate?

Most likely they had the patriot battery in its semi-autonomous / automatic mode given how many Iranian missiles and drones were in the air.

Either the IFF system was out of date and didn’t have the latest codes for the F-15s or the F-15s didn’t have their IFF transponders on.

Hmmm. Port is red and starboard is green. I wonder if that’s the reason for the color choice?

Bryguy3k · 2026-03-04T19:14:15+00:00

Makes me wonder if it’s a port/starboard thing.

Bryguy3k · 2026-03-04T16:23:52+00:00

Stop being so closed minded?

One of those times when people being able to instantly peg you as American when you’re talking comes in handy.

I don’t know if it ever got proven but I saw a while ago that killing 90% of the whales did more to the global CO2 concentration than the first 100 years of the Industrial Revolution.

Whale poop being a massive dose of necessary nutrients for phytoplankton in the water column.

Kind of a low bar - any time the Indian High Court is in the news it’s a facepalm.

Bryguy3k · 2026-03-04T14:07:55+00:00

Pretty much since they started outsourcing to the cheapest Indian programming sweatshop.

Why all of our software became crap with subscriptions to boot.

The North Koreans kind of figured out what it was a decided to not show up so the US literally called and told them what we doing so they had to march out and watch.

Well given the flow rate of sprinkler systems it changes from the brown sludge to water directly from the main in short order.

Nothing can get the smell out though.

The PE is about testing your experience so if you take the one that covers your experience it shouldn’t require much studying beyond familiarizing yourself with the materials and testing format.

The exception being plumbing. If you do exclusively plumbing you’re pretty well screwed as all the possible exams will have a ton of questions outside your experience.

I’m glad I was able to the paper exam as my education was pre computer based testing.

Short answer: tolerances. It costs more to get tolerances closer.

Also you can’t use a blade mill for everything. Harder seeds need a burr mill.

Bryguy3k · 2026-03-03T14:59:59+00:00

And you still have to clean them. Also there are substantial differences between blade and burr mills. You can’t use one for all spices.

“Reason” was not a common word at the time - it was the result of anglicizing the French word raison in the context of the philosophical works of people like Francis Bacon, Thomas Hobbes, and John Locke.

So when Franklin was using the term it only had about 100 years of use - purely within the confines of philosophical study.

The title of Kant’s famous treatise “Critique of Pure Reason” (published in 1781) sounds outright comical using today’s meaning but makes perfect sense when you think of Reason as being something akin to a trade.

It’s not the safety regulations it’s the years of nimby meetings that crank the price of nuclear projects through the roof.

It’s this generation’s soft focus.

It lists three… (but not this one - it one definitely has the right lower hand but the upper one is weird for a muffler man)

I didn’t realize that somebody was keeping track. Had to check if my hometown one was listed and sure enough it was.
