Thats like being asked to fill in for the guy on the bomb squad who called in sick. Being forced to fill a role that is dangerous and for which you are untrained and unqualified sounds like grounds for a lawsuit.

In many ways, I agree. I have an engineer's understanding of math for my discipline but topology is most definitely not one of them. Through his graphics, I could most follow the gist of what he was attempting to get across but when it

Learn from your mistakes and prepare to make plenty. Having a mentor can be invaluable but isn’t a guarantee you won’t still make them. Read. Talk to the senior non-engineer people who work in the field, if possible. Hands-on experience can

Don’t misinterpret what I wrote to think we should leave it alone! Obviously, we’ve been doing it for millennia but we’ve only had the tools and machinery to massively change things for 200 years, or so. A farmer digging ditches to route wa

How often has mankind attempted to alter the landscape to suit his purposes and found that, instead of improving it, it is destroyed instead. Far better is learn to live in the conditions as they are and adapt the techniques to utilize the

I, for one, look forward to tracking the drop in LA violent crime rates, elimination of the opiate crisis, spurning of those who commit adultery and are habitual liars. I mean, if that doesn't happen, what's the point?

Shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that the lottery was mismanaged. Everything else about the Vietnam war was either mismanaged or was a lie, probably both.

I totally agree. I've spent time learning several poems of Robert Service (The Cremation of Sam McGee, The Spell of the Yukon, The Men Who Don't Fit In) because I've enjoyed reading them. Now, I don't need a book, I just

The Shackleton story is one of the greatest tales of survival and rescue of the 20th century, if not for all time. This discovery is as amazing and significant as the locating of the Titanic or the K-129 submarine. In those waters, the Endu

To really understand it's changes, you first need a book with pictures of the valley from the 1940's to the 1960's. I don't have such a book but I've seen a number of pictures when the valley was all orchards. Then
