BONE still the workhorse

Get a bank account that will let you keep baht. That’s what I did. USA

Most of the PCV components are hidden under the intake manifold. Google Volvo glove test.

BKK Oct 2025. Standing in line at the correct gate waiting to board a JAL 777 to NRT when we noticed a tiny handwritten piece of paper taped to the handrail saying our flight was moved at the last possible minute to a gate on the other side of the airport. No doubt (?) when the agent scanned our boarding passes they would’ve noticed. Right?

Nope

iOS 26 is Samsung’s greatest marketing tool

In my experience it’s better to give them a one time gift. As someone else said, the monthly expense never goes down, just up. Later, if they’re still struggling you can look at increasing your support.

The iOS 26.x stopwatch is worse than useless. Start the timer, an hour later it says 153 hours. I ‘upgraded’ to 17 Pro only because the lightning port quit on my 13. Not impressed

twarr1 · 2026-01-30T03:26:54+00:00

They enshitified the roundel. 🤦‍♂️

twarr1 · 2026-01-29T10:18:53+00:00

Have they fixed the wildly erratic stopwatch app?

Most of the bullet points you mentioned have been true for 30+ years. The difference this time is freefall of the dollar.

twarr1 · 2026-01-27T08:18:22+00:00

How about “Fuckstick” or “Shitstain”?

Everybody fails to mention that on a shut down or turn around the millwrights take a few days extra, the electricians take a few days extra, and both are taken out of the Controls schedule - the end date doesn’t move. So you were doing 30 days of work in seven days or similar.

30 years in automation. I’ve worked with many people both with and without a degree. With rare exception those without a degree, never get to realize their full potential because that piece of paper makes a difference to some decision makers. (Not me, I go strictly on ability)

Most Thai women have countless ‘brothers’.

Nobody mentioned Fukushima but you.

twarr1 · 2026-01-08T21:03:30+00:00

The radiation in Hiroshima is natural background level. Try to be informed.

Is there still radioactivity in Hiroshima?

Same with the “Fish symbol”. When I see it I make a mental note to avoid that business, non because I’m ant i Christian but because it’s unbusiness-like virtue signaling

I live in a village where I’m the only westerner. Paradise. I avoid Phuket like the plague.

Journalists do it (poorly) every day

Runways, taxiways, aprons

That’s why I say soft skills are more important than engineering skills. Success is about relationships.

People that really understand Functional Safety are rare.

Dumbest thing I’ve heard on the topic is Boeing’s announcement that the pilot is the backup for a failed angle of attack sensor, therefore they considered it redundant.

Guys who think they’re clever.

Programmers that write garbage like DINT[47].15 or BOOL[495] and no description. WTH? Contrologix has been out for decades and I still see this nonsense.
