OR, I chose to keep it all simple for you to understand, since most MEs I
know, cant understand the simple fact that two objects, can not occupy the
same space at the same time.

OR....

I just wanted to see how easy it was to pull someones strings that was
trying to show the world how educated he wasnt...worked well.

Oh....BTW...through laz..what? Im sorry, I cant even begin to spell the
word.....lazy you say? Sure man..whatever. Already proved that we knew what
direction this would take, and how to get it there...you just were not
involved in that conversation...

Never know when you are getting played...so continue at will.

 

Suggest you start your self-improvement by taking some writing classes.
Two unnecessary commas, "can't" has an apostrophe. Of course you'll
claim here that you were playing dumb - except it's obvious that you're
not playing.

"Someone's" = possesive - requires apostrophe. "Wasn't" - a contraction
- needs an apostrophe.

You obviously don't understand the meaning of the word "proved", and I
guess that's the proverbial Queen's 'we'.

Whatever, your royal weirdness.

You can probably catch some summer classes, or if too late to sign up
now, certainly in the fall.

Oh-h-h-h, the final insult ... correcting cbhvac's spelling and grammar.
Thank you for nailing the lid on your coffin.

Say, here's a thought ... could it be a case of we refuse to play YOUR game
and prefer stick with our own? Ya know, like in my threads where you and
Matt tried to change / confuse the topic in an effort to discredit me, but
only proved your own bigotries towards what you call the "uneducated".

Before you continue your bigotries, remember that the great philosophers,
scientists, artists, and inventors of antiquity never had the education you
worship. Heck, the next time you fly, remeber it was two uneducated, by your
standards, bicycle mechanics that solved the problems that plauged the
"great engineers" of the era.

Sorry, can't speak for CBHVAC, but personally, I'd rather be a human being
and not a "Lloyd R.Parker clone".

I have to mention a scene from a movie that always reminds me of so many
engineers: In the movie, "The Navigator", the alien probe ship tries to fill
the brain of the navigator completely. When the boy asks what happened, the
ship replies, "It leaked."

Do come back when you can't stay as long, will you?

Whatever. He reminds me of a 'friend' I had in high school - a bunch of
us were standing around one day, we see a cop sitting beside the road
with a radar gun in a 35 mph zone, and this friend - let's call him
Bubba - says to us "Hey guys - I can make that cop behave any way I
want. Watch this - I'll bet I can make him pull me over and give me a
ticket!" So Bubba hops on his Honda bike and goes flying by the cop at
50 mph with his middle finger held high in the air.

Sure enough the cop pulls him and gives him a ticket. After it was
over, Bubba comes over to us all grinning and acting the fool and says
"See! I told ya I could make that cop do what I wanted him to! What a
real idiot he was that he allowed me to make him do that!" And we're
all standing around going "Bubba - you're really the idiot!"

Another time, Bubba says "Hey guys - that man over there is so dumb - I
bet I can make him punch me in the nose!" So he goes over to the guy
and says something about the guy's sister. Then Bubba comes back with
his hand cupped under his nose dripping blood, and says "See - what'd'I
tell ya! What an idiot that guy was!"

Actually I made those stories up, but they illustrate the point.

In all candidness, Budd, I don't think anyone could really follow your
train of thought in that post. We were giving you the benefit of the
doubt and making our best attempt at making the proverbial silk purse
out of a sow's ear by responding to it and trying to bring it back into
reality. I don't think it was a coincidence that Matt and I guessed our
way to the same conclusions about what the hell you were trying to say
in relation to the real world about levers, gear ratios, and
transmission efficiency. And of course your buddy Bubba - err - I mean
- CAVHBC decides to make a word game out of it. You may in fact have
had a valid point, but your poor way of expressing it and relating it to
reality was hardly coherent. That's the straight up.

So let me see if I follow your logic here:
(a)The great philosophers, scientists, Wright bros., etc. of antiquity
did not have modern engineering education.
(b) Budd Cochran, CAVHBC, and Max Dodge do not have a modern engineering
education.
(c) Therefore, since Budd Cochran, CAVHBC, and Max Dodge also don't have
a modern engineering education, they are all great philosophers,
scientists, and possibly even the Wright bros. themselves (only problem
- there are only two Wright bros. of Kitty Hawk fame).

While you guys are signing up for your English and "engineering" classes
(don't be frustrated - you can start out at a junior or commnuity
college, and if you can keep up and maintain your grades, you can
transfer to a 4 year degree college in a short while - just keep at it),
check out the courses in logic - you can probably fit them into your
electives.

I guess that's one of those things where you had to be there to
appreciate it. What movie am I thinking of that reminds me of the three
of you (hint - Jim Carey is in it)? Strange - once again, as with the
Wright bros., there are only two main characters in that, but three of
you. Some kind of pattern I guess. Well there *was* this comedy team
of 3 in the 40's and 50's...

And if you actually expect him to back his crap up, you will continue to
wait for a looooooooooonnng time. After all, it is much easier to just call
you and anyone else who disagrees with him and actually backs it up a bigot.

 

Hey Matt - when's the next meeting of the PWADDPWED (People Who
Absolutely Despise and Detest People Without Engineering Degrees) Club?
Can we do it at your house this time?

LOL, LOL, LOL!!!

 

Well Budd, unless you do, what exactly is your point?

 

I guess that's because unlike you, he is correct.

quotients.

Funny how you claim to be this great author and can't even figure this out.
Applications of gear ratios have efficiencies, not gear ratios themselves.

Denial is a wonderful thing. Unfortunately the cost is that it tends to
make the one using it look foolish.

It this just another desperate act on your part? It must be as it makes no
sense otherwise.

Get real Budd, this is a complete copout. He has supplied actual numbers
and proven formulas. Where's yours?

 

LOL, LOL, LOL!!!
The funny part is that Tbne is trying to cozy up to the engineers, while at
the same time thinking that helium has no weight.

Discuss amongst yourselves.

Gee, Tom, what could your purpose in replying to my post be EXCEPT A
CHILDISH ATTEMPT TO START AN ARGUMENT?

Which isn't going to happen.

Now, go play somewhere else.

If you let me join, you can have it at my place

I can't believe the size of the boulder these two have on their
shoulders. I'm starting to wonder if they both are engineering flunk-outs.

 

Your guess is as good as mine. I'm guessing that Budd simply got caught
spouting this "my argument is based on physics and math" and is now
embarrassed by the fact that I showed him, quite clearly I think and
with references, that his argument was faulty from a physics perspective.

Sure, if you want to make up your own definition of "efficiency", then
you can argue any conclusion your heart desires. And I'm perfectly OK
with that. Just don't claim that your argument is based on physics when
your definitions aren't based on physics.

It is probably too bad that he didn't go to school for engineering. He
certainly has a large enough ego and is argumentative enough to possibly
be engineer material.

Matt

Nope, we're both engineering revisionists because the engineers didn't build
it right in the first place. Then we see engineers claiming they know it all
recommending poor procedure. Its not about the "boulders" on our shoulders,
its about the attitude in your skulls.

Depending on your level of education, its very possible I have more than you
do, but thats not an issue. Maybe you'll get pissed I even mentioned it....
and if ya do, you might actually understand where we're coming from.

Hmmm... I'm not sure whether I'm despised here or not. I don't have
an engineering degree, but I am in Tau Beta Pi....

 

When you call them on it then they just claim that the laws of physics
have nothing to do with reality, and how dare you lord your education
over them by hitting them over the head with said worthless laws. So I
guess we're back to the boulders on the shoulders.

Hell - I've got a 4-year engineering degree and a professional licenes,
and for that I'm accused of throwing all my high and mighty degrees and
qualifications in their face.

Bill Putney

But you have a Ph.D., which is even worse than an engineering degree!!
However, we'll accept you as an honorary member anyway.

Matt

 

Just out of curiosity, what are yours and Matt's engineering degrees in? Not
that I believe for one minute either of you would tell the truth, but just
curiosity.

Oh, btw, I backed out of the conversation because it was no longer the topic
I started, thanks to you two, not because I'm wrong.

When you use that fact as a defense of your inadequate troubleshooting
technique, yes, thats exactly what it is. "I have a degree, so I MUST know
how to fix it."

Only four years?
