    My bad, not design authority as that’s a specific thing. They are allowed to design and the guy rubber-stamping often doesn’t catch much.

    Ultimately, this is a religious issue. Engineers are heathens that should be burned at the stake. Occasionally, you meet a good one who’s been housetrained by the people that actually do the things.

    Yup. Thing is, it’s known that ‘machinists’ coming out of trade school aren’t worth a damn for years. The same is true of enginneers, yet they turn them loose on CAD and they create designs that make everyone miserable.

    This is one of the big problems with SpaceX/Blue Origin/Firefly. The designs are piss poor because the majority of their engineers are green.

    Engineers shouldn’t have design authority until they’ve spent a few years manufacturing.

    Memory unlocked.

    I learned that furries were a thing in 2000. Was acquaintances with a guy that hung out at Wiffle Horse late at night.

    Friend of a friend social group stuff. He was always in a booth sketching.

    We were all on so much drugs.

    My mind was blown that he was selling pictures of cartoon rabbits in football gear and that he was doing it over the internet. His stuff was totally queer. I remember him explaining yiff and how hard we all laughed that he was actually making fat stacks on it.

    Thanks for reminding me of that!
