War in Ukraine

[McDad]

So what if just Texas went to war with Russia over Ukraine, would that be fine? Leave the rest of the US out of it

Nope. Us Tennessee folks have come to their aid in war once before. I aint taking no chances with having to do it again.

Men would live in a brier patch if it put them in close proximity to food and sex. And you know he is married to a spicy latina so he must be where she dictates.

Unlike our relationship with Ukraine, there is no ambiguity for what is expected in the house of ND40

Good point but he's still a poopy head

 

[Orangeburst]

I heard he's got a pair of speedos that color with 'hook em horns' across his hind quarters.

I got that image in my head now..

 

[hog88]

No I live in TX because of a woman. Followed one down here, ditched her, found a local, and can now never leave.

So you had a chance to escape yet chose to stay and search for another Texan. I rest my case!

 

[hog88]

ND wears burnt orange underwear now.

Probably a thong.

What if i said I don't trust engineers to make inferences? Yall do well with interpreting hard data. Not so good with interpretation of fallible humans.

We do equally well or bad at both. Depends on the engineer doing the inference it is an experience heavy field.

As a controls specialist I spend my life analyzing an imperfect model and judging if it’s close enough or not.

Critical thinking is critical thinking. Not just in engineering.

Eh I found something that REALLY interested me and didn’t understand it had and anchor chain attached to DFW.

Her whole family is still here. I’d be an ass hole to ask her to move anywhere.

I want to meet just 1 engineer that takes maintenance access into account.

How about nobody in the US go to war with Ukraine? Better?

Edit: umm. Or Russia

Again depends on the engineer. I do pretty much all of my own vehicle and boat maintenance and I know exactly what you are referring to.

Let’s all stay out of war with Russia

his products may only be one time use products

Nope. Not my area of expertise.

Recently I was reviewing a design for an underground stormwater detention system. My one and only question was "how do you get in to clean it when it fills up with sediment" the engineer looked at me like I had two heads but sorry, you can't clean 48" pipes manifolded together with only a single 6" access point in each.

Yep. And I’ve had similar engineer go engineer discussions on our hardware. As a controls guy my interests cover most of the hardware chain from beginning to end. And if I have to go into the field (not anymore! ) to work on it and it isn’t maintainable I cuss out mechanical designers just as you do.

I try to put the "collective good" before me.

For most people, restraining one's egocentric natural tendencies is learned as an adolescent or young adult.

Libertarians on the other hand...

and here I thought you were against communism?

 

[Orangeburst]

Nope. Not my area of expertise.

I really didnt think so..I imagine something like FLIR, Sniper, or DAS. Now EW..I would like to pick your little brain.

So you really are FOS.

 

[hog88]

So you really are FOS.

how so?

 

[McDad]

E tu Brutus?

OB is not a respecter of persons, he is a respecter of opportunity with loyalties to the put-down.

 

[McDad]

So you really are FOS.

how so?

The type of work, I suppose. Sewage and such.

 

[hog88]

No worky with poopy.

That doesn't have quite the same umph.

I see your point.
