According to my experience, the left one does not amount to much.
Yeah, books can’t teach you nepotism
No chapter about Late Sumerian?
There needs to be a required summer semester of engineering school called “being a mechanic.”
Okay college boy, put on a shirt with your name embroidered on it and come out here into the shop. Yeah it’s 110 degrees in the shade, you’ve got your buddy Tom Midgly Jr. to thank for that. Now take this wrench and take that bolt out. Oh it doesn’t come out because the oil pan is in the way? I wonder whose fault that is. No, we’re not gonna let it cool before dropping the oil pan, the customer is in the lobby. Yeah. It is 240 degrees. No, it doesn’t all drain out through the plug, there’s a half quart that doesn’t come out. Yes, you’re getting that on you. Don’t get any of it on the interior of the car when you back it out. Now take off the oil filter. Yes, you’re gonna burn the back of your hand on the exhaust manifold. You’re taking every Toyota oil filter off this summer. You’re gonna hold the burn mark on the back of your hand up like Tyler Durden.
Oh you’re going to be an aeronautical engineer. c’mere boy, we’re gonna take the wings off a 152 Aerobat, you get to pick the spar bolts out of the catalog, we’ll safety wire the control cable turnbuckles through those little inspection ports you types are so stingy with, and then we’ll take the bird you just reassembled up for a couple two or three hours of spin training to see if ya done it right. You ever do a snap roll? I’ll teach you more about the aerodynamics of maneuvering flight in 1.5 seconds than your physics professor did in a semester. Eat bananas for breakfast, they taste the same coming up as they do going down. And buddy they’re coming back up. Because of the special jug bolt wrench I had to buy, I’m gonna pull at least one breakfast back out of your face using nothing but stick and rudder.
Good lesson plan. Then make them take some art and design courses.
“can you make this green a little bit more like the feeling of biting a butterfly? and also rewrite the copy to make it more crunchy. You have 1 hour, yes I know it’s 3am”
You forgot to make them crawl into the wing wearing breathing ppe on a hot day to seal an integral fuel tank.
On a side note, I just changed the oil and filter on a Toyota yesterday. The only pain in the ass about it is that the damn mechanics completely ignored the torque requirement and overtightened the cartridge housing. I had to use an impact to remove something only supposed to be torqued to 18 ft lb. Otherwise everything is easy to access.
While I agree with what you say, the mechanics should also be involved in solving the problem of making all those easily accessible withing the constrains of the projects. It would give insight both ways
White collar engineers? Paying attention to blue collar techs? That’s the plot of the next Andy Weir novel, isn’t it? A hilariously naive notion of people working together to solve problems? Sounds like his work.

I couldn’t solve all the world’s problems if I was given this power, but it would make people who are damaged in the same way I am laugh for a couple months out of the year.
Except what they teach you in engineering school, apparently.
i stayed awake for at least 20% of lecture time, so there is that
All that math you learned? Forget it. You’re in spreadsheet land now.
Did you like those fancy tools they gave you in school? You can cling to your memories of them as you attempt to recreate their functionality in excel without your boss noticing that you’re wasting time on this
That being said, it’s important to know how to sanity-check the math, especially in the era of Copilot in Excel. We just found that our company’s configuration enables it by default on new workbooks, as we found when it was just…making up numbers when asked to do simple addition.
Year 2194:
“Well, it’s like my ol’ papy copilot always used to say… 2 + 2 = null.”
could be a cook book
It might be nothing but gardening tips
It’s probably a concise history of Italian opera.
It’s the basics of the Klingon language, including pronunciation, syntax, and vocabulary.
nah, it’s usually bomb recipes.
That picture does not show the really important information. Is it a brochure, or is it a foot-thick book?
You know what they call an engineer who finished last in their class?
The answer is an engineer.
An asshole who was notably dead weight in every project?
Stubborn?
A public servant? Lol jk
Egninear?
Godspeed, I recently dropped out of engineering to go back into art, shits hard, you’re smart
Good call.
