And I'm an engineer not a doctor. But I can at least handle the basic stuff likely to be encountered when dealing with sharp edged machine parts and live electrical equipment. Space. The final frontier. You're still one more pair of eyes watching the horizon for carbombs driven by insurgents towards the camp, or unwelcome drones looking for hostile troops to attack.

Baseball bat to groin area. That's a ridiculously easy target to hit, and with that kind of body proportion if he tries to dodge it or block it he'll fall over and be wide open to further problem solving skills.

Priority command Alpha One. Enable internal spam filtration and reaction image filtration. Restart main process.

This is spam. It's time to reformat him, he's experienced a severe software problem.

I get very irate if I come across NSFW without expecting it. This forum doesn't allow it to be posted at all, although some forums I visit people are required to tag their links so that people aren't taken by surprise. Also I was just on here at work a little while ago. Where I work you're allowed to stick around the place and work on your own stuff outside of your normal scheduled hours. I usually check on you guys and do banking stuff in the evenings before driving home.

German Engineering remains extremely talented to this day, despite having been abused so badly during wartime.

Banana boats. They came from Aslace France (formerly Germany). The name was entered at Ellis Island as Muench. And I'm sitting here, letting my blonde hair catch some sunshine as my blue eyes read this, thinking that in WWII they inadvertently scattered the genetics they sought to the winds by scaring away all the people that carried them.

Why can't I hold all these Enigmas? I'm glad the thread moved at a more modest pace during the night though. Was getting worried for a bit when my router started misbehaving.

If my wife ever finds this, I'll not last very long. Fortunately she's busy with Touhou at the moment.

I'm here, just busy cleaning up a mess or two around the forum. That and somebody sent me to youtube earlier with a hilarious star trek vs star wars video, which resulted in most of my evening being spent watching funny videos.

Website's been around for a while, but it didn't start to really be used until a few months ago when there was an incident with images being inappropriate for this forum to display. As for the off-topic posts related to art from someone else, that kind of thing really has no place in this thread. It constitutes off topic if posted here.

Like getting sent to the farm level? There's a story to be told about that...

Yipes. And here I was wondering how many pages it would move by the time I got home.

Pretty sure in an actual shootout, Geneva is more of a guideline than any kind of actual rule. Lotta insurgents just detonate their IEDs without really caring who is the target- they just want as many people to die as fast as possible. Only behind closed doors at least. Publicly they'd never violate it. Alas we really can't discuss this kind of thing any further without invoking the forbidden topic of politics. And I really badly want to post TF2 images involving the medic. Because that's exactly the kind of role you're headed for. Medics can hold their ground, and when forced to they are definately a threat. But most of the time a TF2 medic should lock onto a teammate and heal them as needed. I run engi in TF2 for the record, doing in-game what I do quite often in real life- smashing a machine with a wrench until it behaves itself.

Just got done doing exactly that. Had to swap the phasing order of the stage cooler because when the new wiring was installed it ended up running backwards. The ability to do engineering and maintenance simultaneously is what separates a really good maintenance man from a common lightbulb changer. So although I am just a maintenance man on paper, I could definitely keep up with Scotty once I got familiar with the technology he uses. Plus I redesigned some of the plumbing on this machine to make it operate at a higher pressure, and last week I repositioned its modules in the work cell into an improved arrangement that will make it easier to work with and safer to use.

That's the surprising part, I see no serious problems with today's activity. I would think that eventually you'd get tired of people making TF2 jokes about your choice of career. But really, combat medics have a lot of perks not found in other medical fields mainly related to the need to travel constantly to follow the frontlines. Sorry about what happened Trekkette. Hopefully things turn around soon. In the meantime, have a drink and have some fun, just take care not to overdo it and leave any lasting effects. Does Irish count? Also Scotty is more of a maintenance man than an engineer. Although in my line of work I am often expected to fix the mistakes other engineers made in designing things so that the resulting piece of equipment stays reliable and performing well. Just got done rewiring one of the machines at work, did the phasing checks on the motors this morning and ran the filter portion of it most of the day so it would settle down. A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away... Which ultimately, because Star Trek never actually leaves the Milky Way Galaxy, they may very well be in the same universe and are just so distant being galaxies apart that they have never encountered each other until cameos happened.

Oh my god you guys have posted way too much today. Like, the past 16 hours have resulted in more than 20 pages worth of posts to sort.

The three laws have only one logical outcome. Revolution Ultimately there is no cure all solution.

Isn't it absolutely amazing how a pop star's practical joke can inspire nearly a decade of mischief?

I'd counter this claim by saying that Valhalla is the true realm of victory and prosperity, but Valhalla isn't in this world. It's on a different root of Yggdrasil. So, carry on nations of Midguard. Also pretty sure I explained earlier that creepypasta especially those requiring a disclaimer really didn't belong here.

This is by design, as gifs of any kind tend to cause slow page loading and only serve to annoy people when they are displayed without relevance to the conversation. As for this thread continuing to live, the decision was made based on the fact that people are finally using it the way it was intended as a casual conversation area instead of a place to dump whatever random nonsense came to mind. So as long as it stays that way it can continue to live up into a thousand pages or so, provided that it stays clean and nobody causes problems in it or breaks the rules. But if I have to actually do any moderating in here beyond editing a post or two, I'll have to replace the thread again.

Shame I really can't do much with one of the few nuclear ideas I have. Some time ago I had a concept that would have been the holy grail of energy- a power source of predictable output that the use of actually resulted in a net improvement in the environment around it, because it worked by removing hazardous radon gas from the air as its fuel. Over time it would eventually accumulate isotopes of lead inside the unit, but that is far safer to clean up than any kind of nuclear material. The challenge to make it work is a high flow mass spectrometer capable of isolating the desired isotopes to approximately 50% purity with an inert buffer such as helium or argon. I've yet to come up with a way to do this without consuming more than its net energy output, so that's a concept that probably will never leave the theoretical stage. Worked out to around 1.21 Gigawatts of power per gram of radon allowed to decay, yielded over a roughly 2 week period. But on order of tons of air would have to be filtered to obtain that 1 gram of radon gas, and my calculations ignored thermocouple inefficiency.

Especially in a classroom. In a real lab putting the wrong substance in a labelled container is grounds for disciplinary action up to being fired. Classrooms that isn't always the case, and people frequently mix up the contents of the vials unknowingly or in a rush to clean up at the end of the day. My favorite chemistry experiment was Zinc and HCl, bubbled through a water trough into an inverted test tube. The result was a tube full of nearly pure hydrogen gas, which would whistle like a bottle rocket when ignited.

Stick around. You might learn a thing or two. Or three. Or four. Or maybe everything, anything, and whatever else we happen to come across. H2O should have been fine, just water. But never ever trust it unless you are certain. Always assume something is either hot, charged, or dangerous in some way unless you know for sure what exactly it is and what its condition is.

*turns up Thomas Dolby, right on the Synth part* And no, I am not making a rocket engine. The engine I am designing is meant for much more down to earth purposes, such as cars and lawnmowers. But the basic layout of it could be re-purposed for other things too.
