"Ohhhh you said suborbital. My mistake."
As a manager, I love using "suboptimal" instead of "fucked up"
My favourite middle manager term is when something catches fire, we call it a thermal event
TIL I used to work in a thermal event for years
Strictly speaking the Dresden bombing was a thermal event
It's not "bad", there's "room for improvement". I learned that one at Siemens.
"Uhhh...ammm...I do appreciate the team effort it took in order to do this.."
Hey, look, I genuinely think civility and custom is important. More the older I get.
You have a point, but as I got more experience, I also understood that some people are just assholes who will do a bad job/nothing, unless you put them in a spotlight, and call the things with real names. The hardest is to understand, which case it is.
You mean like, sometimes "tough love" is better? I can see that too. I mean, not everyone responds the same to... external stimuli, of different sorts. :)
I am a firm believer in corporal punishment, myself. Not for children, not for the elderly, exclusively for people who can't speak a human language. I don't hurt cats, for instance. But a cat knows what's right and what's wrong when in the former case you coo it, and in the latter hiss at it.
People and animals learn different.
Pain, shame, or instilling other negative emotions is sometimes the only way to communicate intentions clearly. Pain is a sort of lingua franca for most sentient things.
Are you allowed to make jokes about the name if you actually work at Siemens?
Oh don't worry I was disgracefully fired from there a LONG time ago.
Is it supposed to do that?
Well the front didn't fall off, so this could be typical for the new boosters.
Well I think some of them are built so the front doesn't fall off at all.
We learn more from the oopsies, get the trailer.
