During a visit to P3X-7763, I seem to remember Narim mentioned that the paradox of Schrödinger's cat was an elementary error in our understanding of physics. Clearly, then, these scientists are mistaken..... Was that before they were observed or after. I don't seem to remember P3X-7763 even existing. |

Engineers are idiots. HEY!!! My son and I just replaced the water pump on the Suburban, yesterday. What sort of idiot would design an assembly where damn near everything on the front of the engine is bolted to the water pump? The kind that have to produce billable hours for the repair section of GMC's string of dealerships. I mean geese - how hard is that to understand? :) You don't just change the water pump, you disassemble everything from the front main bearing to the back of the radiator. Idiots. Bitch, bitch, bitch. It keeps the repair shops in business. When they replaced the engine in my new pickup, they had to remove the cab, cross frame and exhaust system to get to the engine mounts. :) Fortunately, I didn't have to pay for it. |

"When they replaced the engine in my new pickup" "they had to remove the cab, cross frame and exhaust system to get to the engine mounts" That is a pretty eloquent way of making my argument...... ROFL..... OF course I was. When they told me they would have to have to literally drop the chassis out of the body to replace the engine, I was shocked. I could see removing the hook, but the entire body? Damn... Then again, I have a relative who has a new Volvo something or other and had the emergency flasher go out. They had to remove the entire dashboard to get to the flasher unit. Talk about job security. :) |

Unfortunately that is not uncommon, and it's not just Volvos. Same problem with the high beam indicator light in a Ford I once owned, and for the clock light in my wife's Honda. |
