How can you have a profession before you have a degree? Maybe you'll find out that electrical engineering, for example, is 95% rote work, meetings, make-work, more meetings, socializing, meetings, and maybe 5% electronics.
I wish I could repair the arthrosis in my neck, I'm an otherwise fit man and I get nailed down by bizarre pains that strike me down when I walk. I can't bike anymore either as my neck hurts like crazy. All I need is to regrow the thin layer of biological Teflon between my vertebrae I guess.
I'm baffled as to why my body seems to be able to grow an endless supply of utterly useless hairs and cherry angiomas, but a few microns worth of slippery fat on the end of my bones? Nope. Not happening.
Clearly my cells were able to do it ONCE, can we do it again, please?
This is the future, electronics is mature, computers have become this hermetic playground whose benefits elude me, but biology is really still in its infancy.
I have a book that's falling apart at the seams from the 1960s, called "our friend the satellite", about electronic communications that wonders the same thing as it shows a picture of a man dying live on TV.
Sure, and if you had an Amiga, you could run actual x86 hardware and see DOS *IN A WORKBENCH WINDOW*. Are we doing all caps with asterisks now? Is that a thing?
Well, on the same Amiga I also ran a Mac emulator at the same time... *ON ITS OWN BITPLANES*
It was amazing compared to other things out there. Plus there was the multimedia and fractal landscape generators and graphics editing software and games.
My 20 year old Saeco Vienna superautomatic just grinds, tamps, brews and foams with barely a microcontroller in there and physical buttons. No LCD, no IoT, no touch screen, no flavors, no DRM.
Until they can DRM individual coffee beans, I'm never changing.
I know... The problem I see is how the wire unspools so quickly. The firing of the rocket is trivial to me. Either a garden hose and a foot pump and use pneumatics, or a simple RF link but this might be a problem during an electrical storm...
My personal desire is to watch Hydro Quebec squirm and complain loudly as they disappear into insignificance.
We have tons of water and fantastic dams here in Quebec, but as usual, our love for French-style bureaucracy has fucked everything up.
Why do we need buildings full of civil servants, bureaucrats and nobility-class assholes when the water falls by itself and all you need is a handful of engineers and a few hundred staff to keep it working???
Die you useless cunts, if I had the money I'd put panels on the roof and gladly disconnect from you thieves!
He "can", but not every day. And why does every company need a database guy? Can't that be outsourced or automated? Isn't that what technology was for?

"Fuck you Québec" is succinct and correct.
OSH Park. Why even bother with the decades-old milling and/or toner transfer method? I get plated vias, soldermask and silkscreen.

Why would you say that? I have plenty of floppies from 1990 and earlier that still hold data.
If you clean it, descale it, keep the gaskets lubed and grinder sharp, it's OK.
What's crappy about it? The dated looks?

I have a mile or so of 40ga copper wire and a few model rockets here... What can I do with these two things?
I wonder how the crema reacts in free fall. Can they foam milk?

Oh, and fuck Quebec.
Two days later the Chinese will flood the same dollar stores with one cell, one button digital receivers, don't worry about that.
So why does a company need a database guy?
They were promoting it because of the windfall of government subsidies. How many were promoting it in 1972?
He "can", but not every day. And why does every company need a database guy? Can't that be outsourced or automated? Isn't that what technology was for?
Do you suppose the database guy will unload the trucks with your dinner on them? What was the connection with my post?
Why does anyone need to work harder in an era of technological efficiency? Working harder at WHAT? For WHO? WHY?
Say, I wonder how many "business owners and leaders" would have CHOSEN to go to the Moon in 1961?
Dude, it's embarrassing that in your "paper" you can't spell "principle" correctly.
" through the first principals of physics"
The first ... principals of physics? Like Aristotle, Newton? Who else?
" dark mentor was invented by humon minds"
Are you a Ferengi? Never mind what a "dark mentor" is, like the Emperor or something?
Yeah, because both those operate at the same time scales...
