Sounds like the Fort McMurray fire. Many were all "eh, it's not that bad" until the aerial photos of entire neighbourhoods just being charred foundations were shown off... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One "nice" thing about fire reporting though is that the various fire protection districts/emergency offices usually publish maps of affected areas, and news stories online often link to those, which helps put things in perspective. Not so much with other disasters, even when things like flood plain maps exist on line. This is a paraphrasing of a conversation I've been having this morning with a distributor: Distributor: Can you reprogram the new credit card settings for the new owner today? Me: Sure, if I get the VAR sheet A VAR sheet is a form with the merchant's credit card processing account information on it. Distributor sends VAR sheet. I look at VAR sheet, and notice something wrong. Me: Is this the right form? The name and address on this site are completely different. Distributor: Yeah, they're changing the site name. Me: OK, I get that, but did they pick the wash up and move it to another city and state? Distributor: Oh, that address is where their corporate headquarters are. Me: OK, but I can't use it - setup has to match the form, which needs to match at least the city, state and zip code, if not the physical street address. Distributor: Customer says "go ahead and use that for now." Me: NO. It has to match, or there will be problems for everyone, including them when their customer's start disputing charges for a car wash in a different city and state. Distributor: <sigh> Alright, I'll tell them it has to be fixed. I get the feeling the distributor is already tired of dealing with this new owner. Hopefully it's just a matter of their credit card rep putting the wrong address on the form and I'll get a new form today. If not, then there will probably be delays while the credit card company reverifies all of their information. 44 minutes ago, Cranky Dog said: It also means it's been 10 years since I met you wonderful people here who are just as loony as I am.

I started to laugh at that but then remembered the Bones 1 boxes I have. Then the Bones 2 box. And 3. At this point, I have Bones N^x boxes. Add in boxes MiscKickstarter M^y. It’s a bit scary. But I have really enjoyed this past month’s total panic painting sessions, meaning I need to paint more. That should be a tshirt. Just had a nasty thought of bringing a culling of Bones that somehow make it to the paint and take table. The little painting angel and devil that reside over my shoulders just did a double head slap, so won’t be doing that! Now, as I was writing this on the phone, got a call which was the results of my colonoscopy polyp’s pathology. Good news! Completely benign and was the standard type of polyp. It was just a Polyp of Unusual Size after all. I figured it was, but there was always that chance, ya know?! Nice way to head into the weekend. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManvsMini Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 To the inventor of Kinesio Tape (all the colored tape you prominently see on athletes today, and developed by a Japanese chiropractor), your product is amazing. It's helped my wrist/hand feel almost like normal even through a work shift. If the Girl Scouts were knocking on my door to sell that instead of cookies, I'd take 10 rolls and an instruction manual on how to properly apply it. 3 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegazus Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 I am literally shaking in anger right now. It takes a lot to get me this worked up. And it isn’t even my parts. Coworker, at the same level of program responsibility, just told me what happened this week. Our production facility found out at 6pm that a wire harness was built with a backwards connector. Supposed to point to the right but it points left for example. Their solution they wanted was to change his drawing to flip the electrical box and have the harness stretch over to connect properly in the wrong configuration. Counterpart said no, it needed a quality problem report generated to document the error, then could discuss drawing changes. Our manager backed him up as well. They said, oh, okay, well, we will figure out something then. That something was to call another lead on a different part of the program at 7pm and have that group change the drawing overnight. The responsible engineer, my counterpart, found out this morning. People need to be placed on unpaid leave for that. Maybe even fired. This is how you lose vehicles dramatically. It circumvented so many required processes that it needs to be a giant slap-down on these people. From. The. Top. This is NOT how you work problems. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's an issue like that, you don't change the blueprint to match what you want reality to be. YOU CHANGE REALITY TO MATCH THE BLUEPRINT. THE BLUEPRINT EXISTS FOR THIS REASON. Save those emails and call logs, my friend, and tell responsible engineer to do the same. I hope you don't end up needing them, but if the production facility is determined to continue down this doomed timeline.... Well, to paraphrase my husband, "Do you want to destroy a nuclear reactor?
