Something tells me it wasn't a good idea to use Windows on the lander...

6 years of Evil Engineering School does that to a person.:lol:

No...two separate thermodynamics classes, 2 hrs per exam. 6 problems; a couple are very easy (though some students don't realize this). The A students finish with nearly an hour to spare. The poorer students...don't.

Ramjets are not necessarily supersonic engines, though their non-functionality at low speed does tend to counter-indicate their use on strictly subsonic aircraft, except for special cases like Meredith radiators.

When I took my thermo final, I indeed took the whole two hours and spent most of it frantically looking through the book. Relied on my grades from previous tests to get an A in the class. Still not sure I understand most of thermodynamics, but I know enough to get through propulsions (all I need).
This week will basically be the last of my engineering finals. Next semester is mostly gen ed courses.
Today's exam: Flight Controls!

If you remember the basic conservation equations, 2nd law, and remember that the rest is in a book somewhere, that's a good place to be. I know we engineers are people who will model a horse as a sphere in order to make the math easier, but try to resist using isentropic ideal gas relations with liquid water, m'kay? That ain't right. :lol:

This is apparently a thing that actually happened yesterday.
Friends and family stood in the highway to block traffic, which mostly weaved around them with horns blaring.

Wow, self-centered, much?

OK, these twits (and their friends and families) need some ego deflation, and perhaps a beating with a selfie stick.
Really? REALLY? Nothing says loving more than inconveniencing everyone else in the world? Go get a room already. :facepalm:

Well, wouldn't it be nice if all those motorists decided to return the favor and show up at the wedding?

Got the task to figure some stuff out until the 20th of January. Got a bit nervous because I only work 3 days a week, it's vacation soon, the thing is poorly documeted and I have no familiarity with it whatsoever, and there's of course other things I'm working on in parallel.
Sat down this morning to take a first look at it, had it running in 3 hours.
Sometimes you're just lucky enough to try the right things first instead of last! :lol:

It gives a whole new meaning to "Until death us part" ... Or maybe the literal meaning.

Its getting more and more unfair here... while all still bash on Volkswagen, the same test done by the same NGO has unveiled that many more car models are cheating on the test stand.
Mercedes for example expects exactly the conditioning sequence of the standard test to switch into a low-emission mode. Repeating the test with different conditioning results in much higher emissions. And another test by German TV has unveiled that BMW must also be cheating, because repeating the test sequence on a closed airport while measuring by PEMS results in the car violating the EU limits.
Since Opel and GM are equally found cheating already, its appearing to become a global problem.

Boy, it must be nice to be "too big to fail" like GM. They get to break laws AND get taxpayer money when sales aren't so great.

How can anything be "too big to fail"?
You suck, you fail. What else is there?

Dudes. I just finished making a batch of butter pecan fudge. And I made two batches of white chocolate cranberry walnut fudge yesterday. And am on track to make some chocolate fudge tomorrow.
