That's part of my job is to bring that end user POV to as many aspects of the design process as much as possible. A panel that needs opened once or more times a day needs to have finger actuated latches and hinges, not screws, for instance.

Don't place that panel on top of something that get mounted 7 feet in the air.

"Why not, just tell them to use a ladder"

A. We don't keep a ladder on the aircraft.
B. That ladder weighs 38lbs and some aircraft are parked 1/4 mile away from the hangar.
c. This is the Navy, we dont have 5 golf carts for the maint folks to drive things out to the aircraft. :)
Every C-130 I've ever been on has a little giant type ladder on it.

There's a water main break about a half mile from my house so water's down in the area. That sucks, but the guys who've already been working all day are all hands on deck trying to get it fixed. I don't need politicians or celebrities, but I need these guys.

I feel like we don't appreciate and value the people who impact our lives the most and it ticks me off that these guys are probably in the, what? $60k vicinity? while unnecessary dipshits are bazillionaires.

The trash guys are important to me. Electric workers. Water guys. Farmers. The people who stock the shelves at Publix. HVAC repair people. Those are the ones I appreciate, not some freaking hedge fund manager.

Everyone dislikes engineers. They're the people who design engines with drain plugs that require removing several pieces to access. And don't get me started on the EE type.
That last thing they would ever do is ask folk what they need in a product. They know better.

Designing a headlight assemble that requires ripping half the car apart for replacement is probably not such a good idea.

you're putting 2 and wildebeests together to come up with that answer.
She said not some freaking hedge fund manager, which tells me she doesn't need financial advice. Therefore, she must be drawing a pension and doesn't need advice.

Or she's still working. And hedge fund managers don't feed you financial advice, they make investments of groups of peoples money. Admit it, you made a stupid statement and now your doing the baffle them with bullshit part.

Quit acting like a moron, do you honestly think that money managers don't talk to other money managers before financial decisions are made.

He won't.

He'll go at least two more bewildering avenues of thought trying to save it before he gives up.
