This thread reminds me of this one...
I love it!
On the the high school foot ball team I was called four point Pete. That was a long time ago. I was in special advanced classes but so was half of the front line of our football team. We were a team of geeks but we were not pencil neck geeks. I was also freshman wrestling champion of Portland Oregon. Our coach used the term pencil necks but he didn't include the term geek because half the football team were in the advanced classes and thought is was great it was so because few of us would play college football and even fewer would play professional football. However our foot ball coach repeatably said "get tough or tie". My mother was just as tough as the foot ball coach and said "the world does not revolve around you" and "the world does not owe you a living". I short I was not raised to be a pencil neck geek.
I am a conservative. I believe in survival of the fittest. I/my company competes against the like of Siemens and Bosch/Rexroth. These a giant companies but we win where we compete.
The OP doesn't know what real stress is. I have said this before on any forum but I was a reactor controls officer on a nuclear submarine and also in charge of top secret crypto gear. That is stress. There are many that freak out during training and of the 3 of us from OSU that went into the Adm Rickover's nuclear navy, I was the only one the made it.
TT is not stressful. Try sailing a small sail boat far out in the ocean when something strange happens or the weather gets bad. Try writing the procedure for starting up a nuclear reactor after refueling. Actually I didn't write a procedure. I had to look through many previous startups and copy as much as I could because the nuclear navy doesn't like originality when precedent is available. Still my equipment was new and the procedure had to be right. That is stress.
When you are writing, copying as much as possible, the procedure to start up a nuclear reactor. When people ask you to sail out in the ocean because you are one of the few that have ocean experience. When people ask you to do their geeky control applications because you are the best at industrial applications. That is when you know you have the trust of others.
So, have any of you been in charge of a a nuclear reactor instrumentation? Have any of you held plutonium in your hand? Have any of you been in charge of top secret crypto gear? Have any of you been ask to sail with them because you know how to sail in the ocean?
I am tired of this shit. What the other forums haven't figured out is that really am a expert in motion and how and why things move. I really can do the math and the physics behind how TT balls move.
When any of you make a few million dollars play TT I will start to listen to what you have to say.
I am a hard ass. I don't like liberals. I don't like musllims. In the end it is the survival or those that really want to survive. When will the liberal relent to reality?
