Hell yeah engineering rules!

Random question: my engineering student society sold shirts that say "Engineering Sucks". I still have one. It physically pains me to admit it's 20 years old. Is that a common thing?

Anyways, I wanted to reply to add that I hate the idea that STEM and the arts are separate and incompatible.

Ars sine scientia nihil est but the opposite is true too. It takes alkynes to make the world go round.
