Just doing what I do
Gee, this was a fun-filled Monday. An 8 hour technical meeting with 98% of the people in the room having nearly zero technical knowledge, asking stupid questions and proposing even stupider ideas. Followed by a 70 min bumper-to-bumper 20 mile commute home in the dark.
I need a beer.
I need a beer.
and take the dog for a walk.
They don't ask stupid questions!

Yep, I just got back from doing just that. The best part is that he doesn’t even pretend to try to sound smart...just does what he is best at.

My 2 favorite stupid questions of the day after I explained the manufacturing process and cycle...
“So how come the gas cylinders with 2500 lbs of Helium can be changed out by a single operator? How can he even move something that heavy?”
I explained that the 2500 lbs was the gas pressure in the cylinder, not the weight of it. They still looked confused. Then I explained that the cylinder contains several hundred cubic feet of normal pressure Helium compressed into the cylinder to a total pressure of 2500 lbs so we get lots of it contained in a small space. Any other questions?
“Ok, but if there is that much Helium in the tank, why doesn’t it just float away like a blimp?”
OMFG...

Just tell them its not the same stoichiometric ratio as floaty helium...My 2 favorite stupid questions of the day after I explained the manufacturing process and cycle...

Hey rami
I hauled that around for 36 years in liquid form, got the same questions when I stopped. I would tell them I had electronics grade not balloon grade.My 2 favorite stupid questions of the day after I explained the manufacturing process and cycle...

A long time ago, my father as CEO of a newly public biotech company that was one of the top 25 IPOs of the same year that AOL came out, gave me this piece of advice that I am just now beginning to understanding fully.
“A good scientist doesn’t suffer fools, and rejects them.
A good scientific executive learns to suffer the fools, and then changes them to become what he needs them to be.”
I am starting to understand that successfully being at the top of the field is not the same as successfuly being at the top of the Company...and that they are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
The difference is vision, leadership, persuasion, guidance...and patience.

Totally agree, to me the coolest part is that the group rolls in and out with different folks all with different skill sets applicable to the song they are covering. They are super skilled. It just looks like they are always having a blast.
I watched a video how they practice and produce. They all go home with the original song and practice their parts. They then get together and do 1 or 2 takes for the final recording. Cool as ****. They are good musicians for sure.
Good evening.
Does anyone use or have any opinion about Trico Classic Windshield blades ? Are they a decent quality ?

Trico has been a major brand for decades

No doubt!Skill is one thing...passion and heart is another.
They have both.
And soul......................................................................Skill is one thing...passion and heart is another.

I have used Trico many times, just not the Classic line. The others I have been very satisfied with.
Bill
Good stuff. Anco and Trico are the 2 major brands. They have been for decades.
