Can someone bring down the ban hammer? I know there are moderators for Kinja and most of them are pretty quick on stuff.

I honestly don't think it's unreasonable. It's not like you're trying to fit an assembled engine into your pocket. You're trying to get all of the little bits of it that broke.

I was going to say something similar to that but I'm a bit intoxicated this late in the day and I'm lazy and doing everything from my cell phone.

Hey, no prob, you'd be surprised at how small motorcycle engine parts are. If shit broke, my 125 dirt bike engine could be creatively placed between my pockets and a carry on. The jug could fit in a large pocket. Head, crank, pistons, rods all would easily fit in pockets.

Supposedly it was from when he was still building motorcycles out of his garage. It could be entirely rumor though too.

When I was coming back from an outreach trip in Guatemala there were a bunch of nursing students with us who weren't of age but had purchased alcohol (Ron Zacapa, the stuff is delicious) while out of the country. Well, customs wouldn't let them bring it into the country because they weren't 21. It was bullshit and all…

I heard a story about Soichiro Honda (founder of Honda Motor Company) where he was at a race (Isle of Man TT) and blew a motor and he wanted to bring all of the engine parts back to Japan to study what went wrong. His bag was so heavy that they wouldn't let him on the plane so he took all of the engine parts out of…

They bring you a cup of water. What if you don't drink it?

I can craft my own job title too: Senior Master Consulting Engineering Consultant Redundancy Officer

I don't know. I tried Facebook stalking her but it didn't really come up with much information. LinkedIn might be a better choice for finding out about people's professional qualifications.

People are going to look at me funny for buying a sports car... Seriously, almost every large SUV out there costs about the same as a sports car. Priorities.

This is actually a pretty good interview. The 2 guys sound like they really know their stuff.

The one thing that frustrates me more than anything else in engineering is seeing people who are clearly talented get pigeonholed into some shit job at a big company.

The back story to that GIF is hilarious.

Excellent suggestion. I agree with macnamera too. "We think we can do it, but we're not sure if we can pay for it."

How did no one suggest Wagon Attack III?

I think they used ANFO but it's the same idea. I think that was really the first time anyone was like "let's load up a cement truck with explosives and see what happens then put it on TV."
