SC Tiger Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Apparently, being a test pilot isn't the most exciting job out there after all: https://www.foxnews.com/world/australian-pilots-spells-out-im-bored-during-test-flight What he spelled: The two penises at the bottom might get him into a little trouble though. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxterriermom Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Flight Training Adelaide director Pine Pienaar said it’s unlikely the pilot will be disciplined for his actions and that “apparently he got bored.” I think the young man should be commended for his ingenuity and entertainment. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tous Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I had enough to do just keeping the scaling in my feeble brain. Getting 16 signifcant digits wasn't an issue. If you can't measure the danged thing with that granularity, who cares about useless digits? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't measure the danged thing with that granularity, who cares about useless digits? That is true! But, people that learn just enough to be barely functional, will still believe that calculating out to as many digits as the math operation will allow, creates accuracy out of the ether. There is a difference between accuracy and precision. How many times have you heard someone say that "I don't need to know math, just look how successful I am now". These people have no idea just how much more successful they could be with a little more knowledge. Knowledge is power. Bull S**t is politics. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
