I just realized maybe cars built under duress and arbitrary deadlines aren’t as well put together as ones built on lines where they aren’t working programmer crunch 24/7/365

but, those cars are also markedly less disruptive :shuckyes:

there's a reason why real rockets aren't shiny foil monstrosities and it's because it becomes very difficult to see what the hell the thing is doing with a camera if it's all symmetrical and shiny, that's why the saturn V had all those black bits on it and even the original shiny atlas launches had a bunch of paint added to the second stage and fairing.

good luck figuring out why the drat thing broke apart 100nmi downrange after the telemetry cut out when all you have on camera is a sun glare, assholes

he probably thinks visual observation is obsolete and can be replaced entirely by telemetry

just like how automakers knew that excessive automation of the line actually hurt more than it helped, but he dismissed their manufacturing expertise as ludditism from old men who don't understand the magic of modern technology, so he embarked on a disastrous automation project that ended with untrained workers frantically scrambling to work a makeshift line in an outdoor tent

p. sure i can build an induction coil big enough to power a lightbulb (well, LED) from ambient rf. it just ain't gonna be particularly small, efficient, or practical.

that's why i said specifically lightbulb :colbert:

and not one of the newfangled energy efficient varieties, a good ol' tungsten filament 40 to 60W bulb o' light

you could just use a coil for that too, just do it next to an AM radio station tower :v:

friend of mine had an office right next to one and figured out that if you unplugged a phone from the wall you could pick up the phone and listen to the broadcast crystal clear. it was some preachy jesus channel too so we had a lot of fun handing people a visibly completely unplugged phone they could pick up and hear bible verses on like a goddamn sign from above :allears:

one of our locations gets the broadcast off the tower next door when they put someone on wait. thankfully its a decent channel
