        There is nothing more permanent than a temporary solution! I was told this by an old Russian network engineer and it’s always stuck with me.

          Excellent phrasing, very much on point indeed ”it’s always stuck with me”. отлично.

        I’ve built so may temporary solutions.
        I think some are old enough to have acquired the right to vote.

      Ha haaa, as someone who has worked on some of the largest industrial applications in the country, glad to see that even the most advanced scientific cutting edge technology like this is still installed by electricians yolo’ing it. After working on a launch pad for space rockets, everything everywhere is just put together fuck all. Steel mills are especially bad, you have a mix of absolutely ancient technology mixed with decades of repairs and changes and new equipment that is heavily regulated and over engineered and inspectors all trying to meet current codes while mixing old with new, and if it’s old good luck with any semblance of updated drawings. A “refurbished” panel is always a trip as they basically just keep the enclosure and gut it and install new shit and maybe keep a few big important components but then it’s a “repair” and not a new installation.

      It’s amazing how the world works sometimes

      It actually moves 10 billion trillion times faster than the most powerful tornado.

        Oh so about 10 trillion trillion times as fast as Aroldis Chapman in his pitch on sept 23th 2010 game, where he threw the equivalent of a football field in 1.93 seconds.

          Exactly what I was thinking LOL, how is the tornado relevant at this point?
