Coincidentally, someone's been cleaning out one of the test cells this morning. As someone who tends to save stupid shit forever, the amount of perfectly good cool stuff that gets tossed here is uncomfortable. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...e4cf91b8f1.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...ca15e6976d.jpg |

Looks like the valve springs are made out of bent paperclips, but yes. :)

"Minor thermal event." True story: Last week we got audited by the state of Michigan for air emissions. They found that one of our scrubbers was operating outside of its allowable tolerance. We knew it was because we check and track it daily, it's been out for months. To correct this issue, we need minimum 2 days downtime. Because they have Corvettes to build we've been running 7 days a week. So the "issue" hasn't been corrected. While writing up the malfunction abatement plan, my corrective action (i shit you not) was to raise the allowable tolerance. We changed all our ISO documents, trackers and submitted our plan. ...And they accepted it. Kind of makes you wonder. These people are just filling a job and don't actually give a shit as long as all the correct paperwork is filled out. Also, i tried to have chat GPT write the abatement plan. Didn't work very well. AI needs to get better. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...cc0a45f9cc.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...f59003d829.jpg |

...And they accepted it. Kind of makes you wonder. These people are just filling a job and don't actually give a shit as long as all the correct paperwork is filled out. Around 2003 or so, when I was working at Harris in Cincinnati, we were going through the initial ISO9001 certification process. Production came to a near-complete halt for weeks. Procedures had to get written for literally everything. And since we were the custom job-shop for the company (regular manufacturing was in Quincy, IL), the definition of "everything" was quite expansive. We built tiny little custom circuit boards and 50' TV production trailers under the same roof. (This was the same facility where, when we had a shortage of folks who knew how to solder, they re-assigned a couple of welders from the metal shop to the board bench. Granted, welding and soldering both involve turning metal into a liquid in a controlled fashion, but...) As it became apparent to me that no one was actually paying attention to what was being written, just rubber-stamping it and sticking it in a binder, I decided to test the system. I wrote the procedure for taking a shit. I didn't title it that of course. Made up some title about waste material sequestration or something. It got approved and became part of our company's ISO process documentation. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...b79892f173.png |
