None. Now ask me how many engineers it takes to create a lightbulb-screwing-in device...

My wife and I went for our walk this evening. It was very cold. I think I may need a Peloton to hang all the clothing I need to stay warm for my walk.

There is also a difference between accepting a non-optimal solution and promoting it. Less risk, budget, time, etc are all valid reasons for sticking with a current approach as opposed to updates. In my current situation, that doesn't apply. This is purely someone trying to save face.

So I guess banter is now out since it just leads to lectures on how great engineers are.



Running out of fun things to say on random.

One to screw up the design and a review team of twenty to blame everybody else why it doesn't work and could not possibly have been the design. Then every other engineer ever to support the first because engineers are never wrong even.

I mean, that was supposed to be a take on the old "You know you are an engineer when you spend $20 in parts and tools to fix a $5 radio", but that works too.
