(Thread) In the first What If? book, I answered a question about cooking a steak by dropping it from space. At one point, I commented—jokingly!—that if anyone put a steak in a hypersonic wind tunnel to gather better data, I’d love to see the video.

Me: I'm mapping the servo range so we know when to command different throttle(s)
EE: You could use an encoder
Me: There is no room for an encoder in this assembly
EE: Sounds like bad design

One strange thing I've learned about people is: If someone hates you and they don't have a reason, they'll just make something up.

I was taken to a seafood restaurant and given "crab cakes" exclusively for the opportunity to comment that they are inferior to Maryland Crab Cakes TM

It was known in advance that I would behave this way
