If it’s stupid and it works, it’s still stupid but at least it worked.
Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Nah. At that point it only looks stupid.

If a Mars lander hits itself with a shovel and no one is around to hear it … does it make a sound?
Shanmugha@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
It does (ok, one catch: if there’s an atmosphere), sound has physical nature. The trick is in asking whether music/art/languages exist after any sentient life is gone

Can’t sound transfer through the casing even if it’s not vibrating air in the process?
Genius@lemmy.zip 4 weeks ago
No, sound is a sensation. Sonic disturbances aren’t sound unless someone hears them. That’s why sonic frequencies outside the hearing range aren’t sound.
You should read Berkeley’s Three Dialogues to properly understand the meme.

Is NOBODY else curious where the shovel came from??
markovs_gun@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I can only imagine the euphoric mixture of dread and excitement that the engineer who came up with that one must have had right before presenting it to the rest of the team. The realization that all hope for normal solutions had been lost and abnormal solutions were needed, combined with the requirement of absolute confidence in these facts to present this to managers. I am jealous, this is a feeling most engineers only get a few times in their careers.

Not a bad option. A service call from the NASAA would take easily over a week.

can’t believe they were pushing shovelware in mars

Percussive maintenance is a time honored tradition

Self-help for mechs! If only it were that easy for us as well…
EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I’m sure the local hardware store has a shovel you can use.

A daily shovel in the face keeps one’s sanity in place?:))

Percussive maintenance is a real thing!

I was just about to say that
I worked on something that literally said “to test this thing, hit it here with a screwdriver” because it was known to be a point where a soldered joint would fail
I used to bash the shit out of some stuff with a hammer to prove my diagnoses. It wasn’t working anyway, so I couldn’t break it more, and I was usually proved correct when I was able to replicate the failure

The whole “well, it’s already broken: what’s the worst I can do?” is such a liberating position to be in.

Was doing this with my car fob for a while before I finally broke down and re-soldered the battery contact terminal to the board yesterday.
Also doing it to my cars blower fan for the AC. I have the replacement fan motor, but it hasn’t been annoying enough yet to mess with replacing.

And now interplanetary percussive maintenance is a thing too.

U gotta account for the different air density and effects on sound due to that
