- Comment on Security footage of Boeing repair before door-plug blowout was overwritten 8 months ago:
As someone who works in aircraft maintenance, I am actually shocked by this. Forget the video footage, that’s just a cheap-assed commercial camera somewhere in the rafters. But the paperwork?
As a repair station, we have to document every single step of every single task. If a mechanic does it, he signs that he has done it and an inspector checks and countersigns that he has done it correctly. For a single aircraft input, this is upwards of 50,000 signed task steps. We have to hand all that data to the customer when it is complete, and also keep it for a minimum of 7 years for most stuff, some things in perpetuity.
If Boeing couldn’t provide the exact names and dates involved within a 5 minute search, then someone has already found it and destroyed it.

- Comment on Brought to you by the vertical mouse gang 9 months ago:
As an IT support person, the problem I have with these mice is that the left mouse button is also on the vertical. So when heavy-handed users click on a file in explorer, they also slightly drag down, so the file “disappears” into a folder, and now it’s a support ticket to get the file restored.
Sigh.

I once thought I had snuck a small one out at the supermarket. I realised it was evil and slid away. A family came up the stairs from the car park right into it. Amid wailing and bashing of teeth from the teenagers, I heard the dad say, “that’s a stink bomb, you can tell by the smell.”
One of the proudest moments of my life.

It’s actually a way to generate unlimited energy. That man is spinning in his grave at 6,000 rpm. Do one for Bill Hicks and Sean Locke and we have solved the energy crisis folks.
