According to my experience, the left one does not amount to much.

Ben Rich, aeronautical engineer and second head of Lockeed's Skunkworks after Kelly Johnson mentions Harvard Business School in his autobiography. He was apparently sent to a program they taught there for professionals already working in industry to become more business savvy. Kelly Johnson sent Ben Rich to this program, and when Rich got back, Johnson asked him what he learned. He said "Okay let me show you." and he turned to the blackboard and wrote "2/3 HBS = BS" on the blackboard.

i stayed awake for at least 20% of lecture time, so there is that

I hear the chapter called "your girlfriend is studying abroad with stinky Frenchmen, and other pick-me scenarios to ruin your 20s" is particularly riveting.

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.

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

I had a programmer giving up on a task today and had to resort to VBA in Excel.

Excel is a shit program and Visual Basic is a shit language, but if you combine them, you can do things that are impossible in any other way.

Someone once said that you can make Excel do anything except coffee. I disagree. It can probably make coffee too.

It might be nothing but gardening tips

Guess I'm a whole day late on a simalar joke...

I love factorio. I've owned it before they even had building rockets in the game. Played the shit out of it.

I dont know if its cause the game got more expansive and complicated, or if I just got old and stupid.. but I just cant play it anymore. I can get a base started.. but after an hour or 3 I just start struggling and give up.

I miss factorio.

Good lesson plan. Then make them take some art and design courses.

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

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.

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.

I studied electrical engineering, I had to do a mandatory internship of 10 weeks. Pretty sure the mechanical engineers had to do one too, but I suppose this varies a lot across countries.

Yeah seriously that book he's holding in his hand seems quite small for all the information it claims to contain.

Good call.

The answer is an engineer.

An asshole who was notably dead weight in every project?

Patent examiner

Egninear?

Not engineer. It takes a few more years in industry and some more exams to get your P. Eng.

We often go into adjacent fields.

How to interact with other humans.
