Mechanical engineers build weapons.
Civil engineers build targets...which fall down wonderfully.

Mechanical engineer just make it harder for mechanics and the Civil engineers I have known....were not all that civil

Sad but True.....but he's into fluid mechanics......and going for his PhD....so he can make Marine Mechanics lives more difficult

 

[ChristineM]

No it isn't. Never head anyone in America refer to a "large kitchen kit" as white....also never heard the term "large kitchen kit"....are you sure this is not a French Fry type naming thing.....

Ok

Things being hard to work on is driven by the consumer,
who demands low price & high performance, but not
serviceability. In a free market, guess what happens.
I never worked on consumer products...just designing
for expensive things, eg, military planes, heavy trucks,
surgical tools, industrial equipment. Serviceability is
paramount. My air brake control system was a big
advance over stuff on the market. And my Model 650
Slitter/Scorer....I designed it to last over a century with
minimal maintenance.

 

[ChristineM]

Yes and you should watch-out for yeti droppings when hiking in Nepal.....and wear your Loch ness Monster repellent when at Loch ness......Never did the hour, hours, days, upright fridge thing, never had a problem with a fridge lasting many years.....I'm thinking this is a carry over from the old days when refrigerators looked like this...and housewives did all the cooking in high heels

Ohh look, it's white

Listen here ya faux enlightened, elitist, social climbing, irritating, oaf no one cares...with the possible exception of Chinese spies

 

[Wu Wei]

Just incase you can’t tell…today I am rather grumpy, contrary, stubborn, set in my ways, unbending with no desire what-so-ever to negotiate or filter what I am thinking. Basically the proper attitude for a bear

Chinese spies once stole some of my work.
The boredom that ensued was so severe that
their coma lasted weeks. It became an international
incident, with China claiming some kind of brain attack.

I listened to a lecture, many years ago, given by a woman who was a Chinese spy...before she took asylum in the US. (I had my doubts of the legitimacy of the asylum need...but that is another way for Chinese spies to get into the USA) She said it was easy for an attractive women to get sensitive information about all sorts of things produced in America. All you have to do is find the engineer and talk to them. And because no one ever really shows interest in the engineer, it was easy to get them to talk about anything they were doing. Most of the times talking was enough, sometimes sex was part of it.

I put them to sleep before it ever got that far.
And the induced lasting lethargy was so severe,
China had to send a rescue team to exfiltrate'm.

You talk to @Revoltingest and just look at all you have learned about naming vehicles and scrap metal... and no sex needed... i believe

That's propaganda because of the nerd-nerd connection. Engineers talk to other engineers just like musicians with other musicians and so forth. Of course there's details but when a real nerd-fest gets started, nerd thought universes are created, sustained and finally destroyed.

Following a recipe is nothing special. Creating the recipe in the first place? Ah, that's different.

But how often do those nerds generally get to talk to this....

There go all their engineering secrets
