Why is "some people can't do it" always the default response? Think if you can do it and if you can, do it. Ofc a systemic solution would be better, but it has nothing to do with you personally contributing to something unethical. This is just deflection.

Sentiment has been turning, in my opinion. And it seemed to happen pretty quickly. It used to be all hero-worship. Now... yeesh... I've seen him flamed several times. And even the Muskrats aren't piping up to defend him.

Not if you think about it from the top-down -- it seems like it's making no difference. But if you think about it from the bottom up, it's making a huge difference.

It reminds me of the boy and the starfish story:

>One day a man was walking along the beach, when he noticed a boy hurriedly picking up and gently throwing things into the ocean.

>Approaching the boy, he asked, “Young man, what are you doing?”

>The boy replied, “Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.”

>The man laughed to himself and said, “Don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can’t make any difference!”

>After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said, “I made a difference to that one.”

I feel like I've lost my sense of just enjoying things for what they are ( temporarily or permanently) Maybe I'm just getting old.

Top section, how is the material rolled up like a tp roll and justs obediently laying flat if it's something durable like fiberglass? There's no rollers guiding the material and holding it down so if the material rolls up, that's just going to mess up the measurement, and just because the guillatine chops the material off and the other side looks like it's ball bearings, doesn't mean that it's going to automatically slide off down the side, what's more likely to happen is it might roll down a little bit, then it might get pushed by the next material coming in and mess up the positioning for the cut.

The middle section looks like it's made from fiction, because they're painting the flat board before it's being punched into a curved shape. Like I feel like that would just smudge the paint off in that process since it's not heat treated and why would you paint it before not after. If you flip the process, punch the board into shape then apply the paint, you can add a small heating station right after that the board goes through to cook the paint onto the board. Then it's lke the machine gingerly places 2 quantum levitator on a curved surface like it's not going to slide off, maybe the wet sticky paint it holding it together, I don't know. I've worked in machine operation before and those disks are going to slip off 100%, then the next machine just lightly stamps brackets onto the board without any kind of drilling / nails that's supposed to hold together 2 levitators that have enough force to push a grown man off the ground and levitate them.

QA section relies too much on the fact that the boards are actually functional. If there's a defect with the levitators, is it just going to kick the product off to the side? I guess defective boards will just fall down on the first part of the process and if they're lucky it'll roll off to the side, but what if it doesn't fall off and just lands on the sensors on the catwalk? then parts of the catwalk isn't usable because there's a defective product covering the sensors on the catwalk.

I wish! I've thought about it before. It's long gone though. I remember I worked in the computer lab for DAYS on that thing. I don't think there was any network storage (at least for the students) and I don't remember saving it to a floppy. But maybe it's on one of the many floppies at my dad's house but I'm not going on that goose hunt
