Had one of those on the flight down here. Free in Delta 1st class

Double Oaked?

I always fly Delta for international flights. I'll be sure to get me some next time around.

They'll probably change what they serve by then. I sure didn't complain.

Of course, it's no longer free on international....only beer & wine, unless you upgrade to premium plus or better.

Matt did you get a meter yet? If not, try to get one where you don't have to prick your fingers. You will thank yourself if you work with your hands.

No more pricks

Spent yesterday doing some work on a nuclear aircraft carrier and today doing structural dynamics and transmission loss work at Nasa. Feels good to be back in my own bed though!

Stupid fucking Android.

Battery is at 15%, and listening to music with headphones at medium volume. What does it do? Max volume alert beep that battery is low. Scared the shit out of me.

My phone does the same thing to alert me that i'm using International towers. But it waits a second. Enough time for me to push "call" and put the speaker right next to my god damn ear *BEEP*

DragonflyBlade21: A woman has a close male friend. This means that he is probably interested in her, which is why he hangs around so much. She sees him strictly as a friend. This always starts out with, you're a great guy, but I don't like you in that way. This is roughly the equivalent for the guy of going to a job interview and the company saying, You have a great resume, you have all the qualifications we are looking for, but we're not going to hire you. We will, however, use your resume as the basis for comparison for all other applicants. But, we're going to hire somebody who is far less qualified and is probably an alcoholic. And if he doesn't work out, we'll hire somebody else, but still not you. In fact, we will never hire you. But we will call you from time to time to complain about the person that we hired.

I need to fly to Germany and kick some Kraut ass.

[ssh 924]

Lol.

[///M5 2,833]

That or quit, jesus they are stupid bastards.

[ssh 924]

I figured they'd be the one of the last to be called that--at least for engineering.

Engineering isn't the problem.

[OuTLaWeD 110]

anybody interested in a Holset HX35 turbo with a fresh rebuild and powder coated black?

[dem beats 1,223]

I have no reason to want it, but who doesn't want an extra turbo!

My lawnmower would be wicked fast.

[OuTLaWeD 110]

oh and it's 500hp capable

I hate the attitude of German engineers. If you work on their cars they force you through "guided fault finding". Basically they tell you to go to a certain "measuring block" or location on the scan tool. It is numbered, not labeled, so you have no idea what you are looking at, and they never give any indication to what you are reading.

You may see, "go to cell 1, block 8/3. The reading should be between 75 and 100. If not replace item 1UA4". Why can't they tell me to look at the coolant temp sensor and determine if it is running at normal operating temp (from 75 to 100 Celsius)? Then let me decide if I should replace the coolant temp sensor, thermostat, or whatever other part of the cooling system that may set this code rather than throwing a coolant temp sender at it?

Not every tech is a total fucking moron. Some of us can actually look at, understand, and interpret data... and surprisingly some of us can actually fix cars if the information is provided to us.

Assholes.
