I see Johannesburg and Cape Town have done a trade of sorts. In Joburg, we’ve been given wind and rain for the week. In Cape Town, well, they’re getting the rAge expo this weekend, which for years, has been exclusive to Gauteng. Can we please swap? I’d much rather have gaming and tech instead of torrents of water!
Also, happy Saint Patrick’s Day! Whatever your plans are, be safe. We’ll see you back here, same time, same place, tomorrow! Be good, ok?

It’s definitely not St Pedantic’s Day.

Can all the engineers out there please read this? thanks

Sure, let’s get the engineers to be less pedantic. I’m sure that plane you’re travelling on can lose a wing mid-flight. That’s fine.

Hmm. Yes, good point. But when I design a simple system and ask a simple question……….
That is the core of the thing. By training, you are right, they need to be precise about everything. It can just get a little frustrating when being pedantic becomes the issue rather than a free form flow of ideas. Time and place.
I do, however, tease. Mostly.

A quote I enjoy (as an engineer):
“Engineering is the art of modelling materials we do not wholly
understand, into shapes we cannot precisely analyse so as to withstand
forces we cannot properly assess, in such a way that the public has no
reason to suspect the extent of our ignorance.” – Dr. E. H. Brown
😀

Indeed, yes.
But some engineers would not agree with the quote. Some that I work with refer to Medical doctors as technicians, because they do not fully understand the human body. Thus implying, of course, that engineers fully understand the materials they work with, the shapes and the forces.
You have humility, Grimthwacker. And a cute and somehow disturbing avatar.

Thanks! I eventually realized that the older I get, the less I actually know. Even the simple things such as 0.1 mm thick epoxy glue layers are not remotely as simple as one would think. 😀 As for the avatar…. no idea what it actually is, but looked…. cool? 😀

That last, “I eventually realized that the older I get, the less I actually know”
Me too. I am not an engineer, but am a software developer / analyst / manager. And I also believe that. Older I get, less I know.
I do not appreciate arrogance, especially unwarranted arrogance. (in anyone)

there is being polite and there is being abused. Come on cat, the rat is abusing you. (rat, cause long tail, if I remember rightly?)
Also, most of my pedigree cats kill nothing. They look, they sort of half chase but they do not actually kill or catch. Had a female cat, born in a factory, got as six week old kitten. She killed something every few days. She would not have stood for this. She would have taken decisive, swift and above all messy action.

My one chinchilla massacred everything that moved on the farm, natural born hunter. The other 2 Persian cats could not take down a moth even if they tried.
