Today was the culmination of several unacceptable behaviors...meeting with the company CEO and Chief Human Resource Officer in the AM...

MrPrena · 06-22-2015, 08:11 PM

About 16 years go, I had a friend of a friend who told me that he almost got fired that day.
He had a team meeting with his company chairman Gordon Moore.
He said, "I fell asleep and fell off the chair."

Sadly I said stuff to executives some negative feedbacks and comments. However, I was right. I guess I was very immature at early 20s.

Our stupid company was losing $, and they hired 3 new VPs. VP of this that this on the meeting. I guess I accidentally said "Again?" "More VPs??"
I gave those guys suggestions in order to survive for a decade. One of em was to acquire Datek.

About 18mo-24mo later,
1. Our company was acquired for nothing (only 20% prem to cover the capgain taxes).
2. Datek was acquired by Ameritrade.

Conclusion: I really really really really really tried my best to shut my mouth. Yes, I was immature at that age, but I had to do it. It was matter of people getting laid off or not.
Very immature indeed. Would I do it again? YES, but I would use little more professional matter with passive approach.

Watching [foreign] comedy movie on Hulu called:
How to Use Guys with Secret Tips (2013)

Actual translation is "Operation manual to use men"

MrPrena · 06-22-2015, 11:28 PM

Damn hulu movies have too many advertisements.....

06-23-2015, 05:57 AM

...., you should try pirating movies from certain sources..., no ads..., no virus's. Sometimes there are boobs bouncing on the sidebar ads when you download it, so it's kind of like a free little prize, on top of the free movie.

I think over the weekend I needed a 16mm socket to work on the kid's beetle, but the 9/16 fit pretty well. They both have 16 in them, they must be the same?

16mm=.6299

9/16=.5625

I don't think a 9/16 would fit on a 16mm bolt.

UncleWede · 06-23-2015, 09:18 AM

I sure hope that doesn't mean my son's shocks are going to fall off if we ever get the bug running. That's why I usually PAY someone else to do my wrenching, and not because I'm lazy or afraid of dirt.

If it was supposed to be a 16mm bolt and you used a 9/16 socket and it worked (which it really shouldn't), I'd go back and make sure the right bolts are in there.

When in doubt, use some maths. Remember that the equation for standard to metric (mm) is 25.4.

16mm / 25.4

or 9/16 (.5625 * 25.4) will give you the closest metric size, which would have been 15mm, but even then, that's a lot of play to tighten down a bolt sufficiently without rounding the bolt head.

Hey-Sues, I'm a mathematician and that's way too much. I was just holding one side so I could use the socket on the other and my fingertips are too delicate from typing to do this usually.

MATH? THE REAL MATH? (Not those business math)
I thought I was okay in math, until I met Mathematicians and Physicists. After lacking math to solve any physics problem, I decide to make a drastic measures to improve my math skills.

I decide to rename all the equations with funny name which also relate to the equations.

Let's look at some examples.
-Sturm–Liouville operator -- Sturm-Luger operator
- Schrödinger-- ShrinkDinger (Find that shrinked Dingy Particle Bro!)
-Lax pair -- (Let's go to LA to AL homie!)
-Euler–Lagrange -- Oiler sucks and got into their garage the dog house!
-Einstein field-- Einstein Bagel (Reg-1/2reg price)

I got so many more, but I don't want to sound too weird.
ETA: YEs, I needed help during school.

Oh dear..... it is time for me to go to the USPS.

Anybody ever use iCloud unlock services before? Thinking about buying an iPhone that's iCloud locked for cheap to resell, but I've never used iCloud unlock services before.

MrPrena · 06-23-2015, 08:14 PM

I did heel to toe rev matching under braking today. My brain CPU was running at 99-100%. I need to shape up my 6mt skills.

Just finished watching Gone Girl. If my wife ever pulled that shit on me she would be dead. D-E-D dead!
