so you do not understand my rapier of wit …….
thats a shame, we could have fun thrusting and parrying back & forth
so once again too many here fail reading comprehension …….
I am typing this reply s-l-o-w-l-y so more can understand ………
remember there are good engineers and there are lousy arrogant engineers
The arrogance that the engineers exhibit is their assumption (ASS-U-ME makes a ass out of you and me) that everywhere a stretch bolt/stud is specified, it is assumed that the material into which the stretch bolt is placed it will be able to withstand the force placed upon it (in other words ….. the bolt will pull the threads out of the block)
a torque wrench is always at hand while working on my Jetta’s, I learned the hard way, damn hard !
Too often I have felt the “spongy feel” of a bolt failing or ripping threads from a bolt hole that is not a specified stretch bolt
you see, I am all too firmly rooted to real reality, I not only have a firm grasp of “cause and effect thinking” I always reject any and all “fantasy thinking”, there is nothing good resulting from it.
“Outside-the-box-thinking” is vastly different than “fantasy thinking”, “Outside-the-box-thinking” employs “cause and effect thinking” and “scientific principal thinking”, innovation comes with good “Outside-the-box-thinking”
someone had posted that a arrogant tech is worse than a arrogant engineer , but the post was removed, I feel compelled to address that thought …….
I have dealt with those “arrogant tech’s”, the last one was just about 2 years ago for state inspection, he was going to place the lift point under the jetta where there was a better than average chance of collapsing the slightly rusty rocker & floor up and then we would have spent many hours trying to put the floor back down where it belongs …….. I told him, “lets not and say we did” , another time about 20 years ago a arrogant old SOB was going to lift the jetta any old way he wished to put tires on it, I stopped him and said, “stop, I clearly cannot trust you, you do not know what you are doing, so there is no sale of tires or service”, I pulled out and never went back
its all about common sense people, it is something that has been lost and I seriously doubt that we will see a resurgence of it........ ever hear the phrase "think monkey think" (and no we are not descended from apes like they keep trying to tell us)
and W*F is a dropnosky ??
