And you're forgetting that the chumps making these engineering definitions are chump engineers who think they're making parts in a theoretical plane of existence where only their numbers matter.

In reality, everything should be made out of copper nickel superalloys because man that shit is cool af. Frfr if you ever get a chance to mess with aluminum copper nickel you should do it because that shit is borderline mystical.

Says the random fuckwit on the internet who clearly doesn't understand what they're talking about.

I call you out on your ignorance, so now you get all pissy? Grow the fuck up.

Autism has always been terrible at reading emotions of others.

I'm Bing chillin. I don't give a solitary fuck if you decided to rename tensile strength as "stringle bringle factor". Im just tired of people using "strong" as a catch all descriptor when it actually doesn't mean much of anything in context.

How about you go and contemplate the definitions of a chill pill for a while broseph

Lookout everyone, big brain here has it all figured out. Don't need any more engineers with their fancy words.

An engineer made the oceangate sub. Worked out pretty well for him. Right up until it didn't.

Fuckwit was an actual engineer, but go ahead and tell me again how all the bad engineers are "fake" wannabes and all the "real" actual engineers are perfect little angels that never did anything wrong.

pfft get a grip. he ignored so much valid advice. the sub couldn't pass cert.

you really stanning for someone who killed their own customers?

yeah that's some great engineering what a toolbag

Lol hey man its not too late to go to college for engineering. Just imagine the problems you could solve with your superior machinist brain!

One engineer being a dipshit doesn't invalidate the entire discipline. Especially when said engineer went to an ivy league school where a degree says more about you parent's bank account than your actual ability

Know people that worked with him, can confirm.

"Move fast and break things" Startup mindset is dangerous when taking your customers into potentially hostile environments. If only Michael Crichton had warned us about that decades ago.
