engineering jokes

[tom66]

There are parody datasheets, I'm not sure where this one came from, I guess as a joke to one of the Polish engineers working at the company? Probably get you fired nowadays...

I love the "rise time" spec and that it has an "indecisive input".

The Wikipedia Jacek Karpiński article and history of K-202 makes for an interesting read.

Why is calibration of equipment so expensive in Australia???   

Because the units have to be shipped to New Cal idonia.

Please tell me if I should remove this as it is really bad.

No no they were smart! You leave on the extra to pull on so later you can re-tighten the connection.

Why cannot Fortran and "C" have a reasonable debate??
They cannot even agree on the basic argument.

Pure genius!  This is an alternative to those cheap crimp butt splices with low melt solder and heat-shrink sleeve; all in one.
The zip tie holds the wire long enough to solder the joint and then it can be melted over the solder joint to provide insulation. 
Demonstration coming soon to you-tube; look for it under the click-bait heading "be amazed".

I never understood why cartoon characters need to be ugly.

I never understood why cartoon characters need to be ugly.

They don't have to be ugly, but ugly is easier to draw.  And socially easier for the artist who doesn't have to explain to the significant other that someone more attractive would not be more suitable.

Just to let you know:

E = m * (a² + b²)

Just to let you know:

E = m * (a² + b²)

Not in Manhattan.

Ah Pythagoras, i just used it to drill holes in the correct positions. Pretty useful. I haven't needed the mass–energy equivalence for a project yet. I guess people use the mass–energy equivalence primarily as a conversation topic during a drink than for any practical purposes.

I consult the ADC sample rate to Nyquist frequency one constantly:

I like this graph. Makes me think of 80% of current scientific publications.

[Nominal Animal]

I like this graph. Makes me think of 80% of current scientific publications.

In a scientific publication, the horizontal axis would have been labeled something like "Stetson rate", with at least three citations to papers by fellow scientists who had problems with signal aliasing using similar terminology, and another one who cites another paper that mentions Stetson rate corresponds to the sampling rate as samples per second, and derives its name from the Harrison–Stetson method.  Citation counts and publications are what define a scientists worth, after all, not the quality of their work.
