Yeah those are the guys who are trying to justify their existence by asking irrelevant questions....but in the end...management keeps them instead of the productive engineers.

I'd just tell them "I'll take an action to look into that item". Get a list of action items and get assigned due dates. Work on them first in, first out. After a while they'll start pre-coordinating the meetings better and put out an agenda. You'll still get the odd left field request, but they'...

re: how do you fix squeaky doors (NOT WD40)?
Posted by NASA_ISS_Tiger on 5/16/24 at 8:19 pm
You probably have something mechanically wrong with the hinge or the door isn't hung properly. I had one do that and after some googling I found out I had a bent hinge "ear". Once I re-aligned it all, no more squeaks....

[quote]Would love to know how many are actually students of the college they are protesting at rather than paid agitators who don’t even go to school[/quote]

Thoughts on college protesters
Posted by NASA_ISS_Tiger on 5/3/24 at 8:00 am
These college protesters are likely the same people who want student loan forgiveness. So essentially they want taxpayers to foot the bill so they can go be a menace to society to "express themselves". Also, after seeing a few college professors on the news support these non-peaceful demonstration...

I have quite a few. Worked on Console as a Payload Rack Officer from 2002-2015 and the original EXPRESS Logistics Carrier (ELC) Ops Lead.
Over 10,000 hours on console with close to 50K commands sent to ISS.
Loved that job. When the fit hit th...

Barry is from Murfeesboro,Tennessee and is actually a pretty good person. He doesn't have that "I'm an astronaut, you're nothing persona". My Flight Director award has me standing 2 people down from Barry since he was on that crew for STS-129. My plaque is actually signed by the entire crew, includ...

Hey Joe...got a secret for you too....HE'S UNION!
That's right little demoncrats...your union stronghold isn't so strong now. Lots of UAW workers will defect and vote for Trump. Biden is hurting their bottom line...the union leadership will still support Biden, but not the rank and file....

re: Homeowners Insurance
Posted by NASA_ISS_Tiger on 3/7/24 at 2:04 pm
USAA has steadily went up each year. Every year we've owned our house since 2014 we've been behind on escrow because they raise their rates. Our homeowners policy timeframe and mortgage company escrow timeframe is off by 4 months. Escrow goes by Jan-Dec. USAA renews every April. So as a result ...
