Scott @scottypippen08.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Let's be clear, I already believed that women have to view all men as potentially dangerous, but I never felt it myself until the first time I took my niece shopping; you'd better believe that I was hyper aware of each and every man in that mall. 100
Scott @scottypippen08.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I like to tell coworkers that every other employee in the history of the company wanted it to fail, so we're lucky that you're the first who actually wants to succeed. 000
Scott @scottypippen08.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Now that it's bedtime, I'm regretting that long nap earlier this afternoon. 000
Scott @scottypippen08.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Today I Googled "Word online - Fucking stop typing and suggesting shit please for the love of Valhalla!", and whatever AI Google uses for their search results did give useful instructions for how to turn off predictive typing and text suggestions. 100
Scott @scottypippen08.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Sometimes I wish I could read the history books from 200 years in the future. 000
Scott @scottypippen08.bsky.social · 08/06/2026I know very little about programming. My favorite thing to say to a software developer (without actually looking at their code) is that they forgot a semicolon. I tried an AI tool for layout review, and it did the same to me (except it said I was missing bypass caps). 100
Scott @scottypippen08.bsky.social · 26/05/2026I can always tell when the batteries in my Samsung TV remote are getting low because I have to actually point it at the TV. With fresh batteries, just being in the same room is enough. 000
Scott @scottypippen08.bsky.social · 28/04/2026Say what you like about AI, but I just told a human to fix 3 items in a report; 30 minutes later he said all feedback has been incorporated, but when I looked, none of the 3 were changed at all. 100
Scott @scottypippen08.bsky.social · 08/04/2026You can't multiply a clock, only divide (count) it. This turns out to be a more controversial fact than I'd imagined. 000
Scott @scottypippen08.bsky.social · 25/03/2026No spoilers, but NCIS episodes like that make me miss my Dad. I guarantee I'd have a text or call from him by now after an episode like that. 000
Scott @scottypippen08.bsky.social · 20/03/2026Today I got a new bookcase, and I also got the new book from @kbspangler.com & @alepresser.com to go with it! I've only read it cover-to-cover once this evening. 010
Scott @scottypippen08.bsky.social · 26/02/2026Once is a coincidence, twice is a conspiracy and needs to be investigated. 000
Scott @scottypippen08.bsky.social · 21/02/2026I'd be happy with over 0.5; think of how much I'd learn! 000
Scott @scottypippen08.bsky.social · 16/02/2026If you ever see a man harassing a woman in public, feel free to say to him "You sure smell nice." Be ready to follow that up with a compliment about how nice his eyes look. 000

Scott @scottypippen08.bsky.social · 17/12/2025Anytime I see a really long list of updates for my phone it makes me think that there's either a new OS or a security vulnerability that's about to release. 110
Scott @scottypippen08.bsky.social · 07/12/2025I think that if there's a fine for an autonomous vehicle it should be multiplied by the number of vehicles the company has. 010
Scott @scottypippen08.bsky.social · 06/11/2025Today I said I found the next book I want, and immediately I heard my boss say "Oh no!" That's the kind of (nonfiction) book reputation I want. connectorbook.comconnectorbook.com"The electronic connector book" - A book by Davide Andrea 010
Scott @scottypippen08.bsky.social · 15/10/2025I think paper towels should be sold based on how many grams of water 1 sheet can absorb. 000
Scott @scottypippen08.bsky.social · 07/10/2025I got to do some PCB surgery today to add some filtering; unfortunately it didn't fix my problem, so I'll go back for more troubleshooting tomorrow. 100
Scott @scottypippen08.bsky.social · 10/09/2025I'm general, the messier a burger or burrito is, the better it tastes. Therefore I have two pieces of good news to report. My Longbard's burrito was delicious and I only had 2 drops of sauce on the floor. I also have 1 piece of bad news: I spilled sauce all over the crotch and both legs of my jeans. 0291
Scott @scottypippen08.bsky.social · 27/08/2025For teaching to be effective, learning must take place. Unfortunately, learning is frequently painful. 000
Scott @scottypippen08.bsky.social · 19/08/2025Today in aircraft troubleshooting I got to ask if a fairy was tossing tiny chunks of TNT into an engine. Luckily, that was not the case. 000
Scott @scottypippen08.bsky.social · 11/08/2025The ice maker in my Samsung fridge kept icing over, so this weekend I defrosted it and sealed all the cracks with RTV. Effectivity remains to be seen, it usually takes a couple of months to freeze over. 000
Scott @scottypippen08.bsky.social · 09/08/2025Finally, a post from @righto.com where the feature sizes are at least close to what I, a PCB designer, can comprehend. Like all his posts, it's a great explanation of a complicated topic. 030
Scott @scottypippen08.bsky.social · 14/07/2025I haven't tracked down the source of the problem, but I have several files with a modified-on-date of the Unix 32-bit end-of-time. #Year2038 #Y2k38 010

Scott @scottypippen08.bsky.social · 13/06/2025Dear Engineers, If you think your job has anything to do with your specialization, you're wrong. Your job is to document your work, follow and improve processes, and communicate with everyone and every time. 100
Scott @scottypippen08.bsky.social · 29/05/2025Some of the ideas in this thread make me want to buy some USB connectors just to implement some mayhem. 000
Scott @scottypippen08.bsky.social · 28/05/2025If I visit a historical building, you can count on it to be undergoing renovations. These pictures are from different countries, and aren't the only examples from that trip. 100
Scott @scottypippen08.bsky.social · 30/04/2025In the past week I've had 3 phone calls and 6 text message threads totally probably 14 texts. I don't understand how some people can have so much communication go through their phone, I would be overwhelmed. 010
Scott @scottypippen08.bsky.social · 18/04/2025The Internet search said it couldn't be done, so I did it. I repaired a tape measure, but it still feels like a victory. 010

Scott @scottypippen08.bsky.social · 02/02/2025I'm an electrical engineer. A crucial part of my job responsibilities is to make pictures of stickers, and then make pictures to show where to place the stickers. 120
