@Shadowman311 Hahaha, enjoy ‘being a part of history’ debrah, just make sure you show up 0330 on sunday, gotta impress the lt gov for that late-morning parade
@Bro-Drillard@Shadowman311 It’s okay, they cut one apart and shipped it to a school (ND) and they’re supposed to digitize all the parts so we can magic print them out! See? Nothing to fear! No decline here!
@teknomunk@Bro-Drillard@Shadowman311 Probably, though we’re in a real fun space w/ those. A whole lot of the 60-70’s drawings and prints had massaging and shorthand written all over them, so it’s basically a language unto itself. Nobody can work with them today on the off chance they even HAVE them, which is probably iffy. Go back in time and tell the draftsman the boner would be flying for 80 years and they’d laugh you out of the room.
They were accustomed to pitching their craft within a decade
@William_The_Dragonborn@Shadowman311 I’ve been wishing we could make it a meme to just mock all these military recruit arms with the idea that oiur friends wanted to join, but we all mogged them into giving it up.
“hahah yeah my buddy was gonna join the USAF but we kept calling him “Officer F4ggot” until he gave it up lol“
@teknomunk@Bro-Drillard@Shadowman311 I think I actually posted the B1 story here, and one of the reasons they wanted to digitize everything into CAD was that students and workers can’t visualize relationships in 2d drawings anymore. They NEED to be able to have it pre rendered and rotatable in VR in order to know what they’re looking at
@Bro-Drillard@teknomunk@Shadowman311 I think we still have a good stock of them, they’re just being shunted into garbage jobs. I’d bet if you recruited from internet outlets like this for a year you could reinvigorate the defense industry in a year
That's one of the most basic skills you want in a draftsman, and one I possess. I have CAD and manual drafting experience and loved it.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised those skills aren't valued or trained anymore. So much cheaper to throw an umtrained monkey in front of a computer running solidworks.
That is quite literally what you should put newly hired draftsmen to work doing: digitizing and checking old drawings. It gets them up to speed with current practices and removes techical debt without having to pull an experienced (and expensive) senior draftsman or engineer off current work for it.
@WashedOutGundamPilot@teknomunk@Bro-Drillard@Shadowman311 Little anecdote on it, aerospace companies have tons of drawings that they can’t find people to digitize and they have a lot of CAD in old computers that they don’t want to spend the time or money to back up in newer machines.
New engineers are terrible at following drawings, heard a story from Boeing where an engineer assembled a part, where nothing mated correctly, you literally can’t mess that up.
@Shadowman311 Ah, I got distracted by Shadman. Anyways one of those articles I posted was “fact checking” tucker carlson in his attack on the AF’s maternity suits - they pointed out that the flight suits were office wear for the force, just an OD jumper, and NOT the actual flight-ready G-suit. They were quick to say it was misinformation that pregnant women were flying.
“Oops! Looks like they are flying, hopefully nobody remembers! more than a week in the past”
@Boomerman Our regime is perfectly willing, and in fact enthusiastically so, to send not just the father of a family, but also the mother and unborn child off into an active war zone to die for nothing but isn't even willing to call them "mother", "father", and "child".
It *IS* an essential skill for engineering work, but one that can't be easily quantified in a way that an MBA with no engineering background can understand.
One of the big upsides to CAD is that it can scale infinitely like a vector graphic so you're never going to lose or obscure detail like you might with drawings.
@BadOptniks@Shadowman311@teknomunk@Bro-Drillard Idiocracy is a utopia though, where most of the people are laid back, easy going, happy white-ish folks. We’re in store for something much worse
@WashedOutGundamPilot@teknomunk@Bro-Drillard Same reason why they are developing medical AR glasses to allow doctors to see inside patients bodies, thus turning every procedure into an IRL game of Operation. "Our replacements" are really, really, really fucking stupid and need big flashing neon signs to tell them exactly what to do.
"Our combat readiness has been compromised by woke indoctrination. We're at a point where our military is now complicit w/the erasure of women that's been spreading. You won't even call us mothers or women.
So glad I ended up not joining. What a shit show & we deserve to be defeated."
They really are going to draft your pregnant wife in WW3 and send her to the front, once again, the debate on optics is pointless when this is ultimately our foe. A regime that sends pregnant women into war zones for social media updoots is without a doubt one of the most evil regimes to have ever risen to power in the history of the human race. No matter how much you hate these people, it's not enough.
It should also be noted that they aren't stopping here they're starting here. Once they normalize the idea of pregnant pilots they'll start normalizing the idea of pregnant Frontline soldiers. All the major examples they'll use will be White.
@WashedOutGundamPilot It's the same schtick they pulled with COVID, yesterdays misinformation is tomorrows accepted and enforced fact, its designed to make you go crazy.
@DEERBLOOD@Boomerman@Shadowman311 My uncle’s in the national guard, and he says that every time they’re going to deploy, suddenly every single female ends up pregnant and avoids leaving the states.
My other uncle in the Navy says it’s even worse there. When they are doing assignments for going out to sea, they have to basically calculate as if 2/3 of the women are not going to go.
@Shadowman311@Boomerman You know, this does make a certain amount of sense. If they’re going to keep women in the military, they need to figure out a way to keep them from fucking every dude available and getting pregnant so that they can skip out from the battlefield.
Women finding out that they can no longer get pregnant to avoid going to war would end the scam. They would either have to go to battle pregnant, or be smart enough to not get pregnant.
