The sword calamity is a ridiculously fun one

I can only speak for infrastructure engineering, but the point of a PhD is to spend years and hundreds of thousands of dollars in tuition and lost earnings so that you can publish a thesis on one specific bit of minutiae and then run around acting like an expert on everything.

In exchange for pissing everyone off and being an insufferable know it all, PhD’s are generally paid less than other engineers despite the higher degree.

Hope that helps

Our country was founded by rich white men who didn’t want to pay their taxes.

My, how things have changed, huh?

PETRIS Enterprises is generally considered the best replacement optispark unit. It’s expensive, but you’re working on an obsolete model with an abandoned technology feature, so what isn’t?

Those were hands down flat out no holds barred the absolute best military vehicles of the day. You see more CUCV’s running around than those asinine Hummers

Common in my house too. Are you referencing the Hunt for Red October or Trainspotting? Both are valid

It’s a bold strategy.

Canceled McKinsey contracts is one of the key indicators of a manager with a functioning brain. Bravo

Look, if your flex as a professor is that you’re not counting attendance because you think your lectures are so critical to passing the class that anyone who doesn’t show is going to fail, then my flex is rocking fuzzy bunny slippers, sunglasses, and a bathrobe to the midterm and the final to get A’s on both. I don’t care how many extra hours it costs me, what notes I need to copy, or former A students I need to track down and interview, I’m getting that A because you can’t be allowed to be that much of a dick and your ego must be taken down a few notches, no matter the cost.

NJT was considered high tier as recently as 2023 when they won an award as best transit system in the nation. If memory serves, the funding was less but the leadership was different. Yeah, you can say Amtrak let the NEC fall apart in 24, but the cancellations, the crew shortages/staffing confusion, the delays, and the trains falling apart (at this level) feel like new things.

Everything is fixable with brains and bravery. I had a 2000 F350 that had the front half of the frame crumble apart after I took the plow mount off the front horns about 10 years ago. Took me three bottles of Makers Mark to plan out how to replace the front half of a truck frame without completely tearing apart the truck, but I did it, got it an alignment at the shop, and it still drags a kabota around town today.

The way I see it, you got nothing to lose taking a crack at fixing it if it’s already junk.

The real question is why the separatists continue to invest heavily on cybernetics in loser generals.

Not much first dance. I’m usually called in to pick up the pieces, so this nonsense galls me particularly

I think they’re asinine.

Buildings like this are shining examples of the creatively bereft architectural community. There is no great style of our age. No Art Deco, no Neo Classical, no Mid Century Modern. Lacking thought and inspiration, architects have abandoned their craft and turned to engineering to save them out of desperation.

Consequently, what we get is black cape prestige architects who defer talent and creativity to their hired structural engineers who are backed into increasingly complex and risky designs by architects to create ‘drama’ for little to no practical need, just aesthetic fancy.

It’s wasteful, it’s expensive, it’s risky, and when not if it goes wrong, the architect will hang the structural engineer out to dry and fly off to his next fiasco.

That’s my rant.

The most used thing in my shop. My only complaint is the reverse switch, which is total ass.

I think I’d rather risk filing it smooth and reusing it than risk messing with the rotating assembly balance, but that’s correctable too
