  1. Re:Eye protection? on Amateur Scientist Builds Thermite Grenade Cannon (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    You'd think the horrible second degree burns he got lighting a jet engine while not wearing protective gear would have taught him something. Searching "Colin Furze hand" will yield the post detailing the injury. Do not view the page if squeamish about images of burned skin.

  2. Re:Across All Fields on Software Engineering Is a Dead-End Career, Says Bloomberg · · Score: 1

    Funny you cite brick layers. Go by any suburban housing tract and watch for a while. The youngest workers are cleaning up the site and moving material. The next older tier is mixing mortar and cutting bricks. The oldest guys are the ones actually laying bricks. It takes experience to know by feel when mortar isn't mixed correctly and the correct amount to butter on the brick. If you don't have experienced workers who have worked their way up, you get courses of brick that either aren't level or worst case your wall falls over.

    I'd assume the same way most companies retain employees: through the regular disbursement of paychecks and employees who fear the loss of said. Most companies see a "talented" employee as one who performs adequately and follows the rules.

  4. Re:If there's no pepperoni... on The Perfect Way To Slice a Pizza · · Score: 1

    Only the novice pizza eater goes for the bubble as that is where the dough has heaved up and displaced the cheese and pepperoni onto the adjacent slices.

  5. Re:Stealth? on Military Grounds Stealth Bomber Fleet · · Score: 3, Informative

    The B-52 has been in constant service since 1955, and is slated to continue active duty until 2040. They aren't being replaced either. The airframe is so solid that they are able to just keep upgrading rather than rebuilding from scratch.
