  • Sure, a relative of mine was an ex-sailor and he pulled up maps of how many ships on average passed in a given area per year and then he divided it by the number of reported incidents. Demonstrating that the Bermuda Triangle had slightly less things go wrong compared to the ocean as a whole. Which he speculated was because everyone knows that hurricanes are a thing and the presence of the US coast guard.

    It didn’t even take him that long. I got into a thing with him about it and about an hour on the computer later he had the numbers to back it up.








  • Might be local government. Me and sales have this argument pretty often

    Me: it is in the spec

    Sales: no one noticed it except you

    Me: thanks?

    Sales: no one is going to care

    Me: then take it out of the spec and resign everything.

    Sales: why are you making a big deal about this?

    Me: because it is in the spec that we signed and if we don’t honor the spec they can backcharge us.

    Sales: that won’t happen

    Me: you are right because we are going to follow the spec. If you don’t want me to please email me, the department head, and the client specifically ordering me not to follow the contract that we signed.
