That's a bit more sophisticated than the old co-ax machinegun to test for range and accuracy.

It fits into the new religion. Same old story.

Sorry if I have to talk to you like you're babies...
The "science" is obvious and settled to you, so you want to treat anyone that has doubts as babies. Golf clap for you, drooling-dog. Have you met Kenji?

"Real" engineering or software? For some, there's no difference.

I don't care to hear from a chair-bound, brilliant scientist telling me what to do. Chances are, his views of "what is right for the planet" are just as kooky as any other environmentalist.

Somehow I don't think the concentration of CO2 in air makes this very efficient...

we'll either need to figure out how to create gas from atmospheric CO2
Huh?

Check your expensive coffee!

But what about a spherical, hypothetical cat in a locked box?

(OMG!) If this is real, than this (bang, pow!) would be amazing! Paul

I do 3D CAD for piping design. Are there "really fancy high-end monitors" that I don't know about?

How does this compare to the multi-thousand dollar CAD video cards?

The Last Revision

The Draftsman and the Engineer
are men of skill and vision.
At least they are until they hear
the hated word -- REVISION.

The Engineer with practiced eye
surveys his grand design.
The Draftsman draws so expertly
each complicated line.

"Complete," they sigh contentedly,
"Miraculous Precision."
Oh, Optimists! Tomorrow brings
catastrophe! REVISION!

Revision One adds this piece;
Revision Two improves it.
Revision Three makes it just right;
then Revision Four removes it.

"You can't do this, you can't do that."
"We'll wait for a decision."
"But in the meantime, just revise
that last revised Revision."

Revise! Revise! The very word
fills Engineers with dread.
Tho' die they must, they'll be revised
to make damn sure they're dead.

They hope that God's no Engineer
when he makes his decision.
If once they win their wings they hope
there'll be no Last Revision.
