At the end of the day, we need to leverage best-in-class thought leadership in order to maximize solutions in the energy space with respect to MLP plays. Going forward, let's circle back and touch base off line as a granular sidebar because the resources are out of pocket. God, I absolutely detest business buzzwordspeak. The insurance industry used to be mercifully free of it until the consultants grabbed hold ten years ago. Having said that  , I can write whole paragraphs of utter gibberish and I'll put them in my reports. Sometimes in a 30 page report, I'll use not one buzzword except for two paragraphs of meaningless nonsense just riddled with buzzwords to see if anyone catches on that it's crap.Also great in meetings is to just throw random buzzwords together that convey no real information to watch the nodding heads as if I'm the oracle of Delphi dispensing sage advice.

That's an apt comparison. The Oracle also spoke in tongues and it was up to others to interpret what her gibberish meant.

I've worked for Yahoo, which is a bastion of that godawful corporate bullshit-speak. Moving forward. Oh god how I hate that one. The best was my boss there referred to us (his team members) as bodies. As in, "We need to get more bodies on this project," and "How many bodies will it take to finish this on time?"

As a "knowledge worker" (consultant, aka IT prostitute) I've occasionally referred to junior consultants as "an rear end in a chair". And I still think that's less insulting than calling someone a resource. Calling someone "a body" seems even worse.

Can you leverage synergies between silo'd cost centers to optimize the potential economies of scale? (Lay 'em off, make the remaining suckers pick up the slack) I hate being called an asset--that's awesome, I'm going to slowly lose my value until I end up with zero residual value and will eventually be written off. Big corporate hugs.

I passed advanced-level high school English through pure bullshittery and linguistic padding. I actually scored highly with it to carry my other mediocre grades into a respectable final aggregate result. The funniest thing to me is that at the time, I genuinely thought I had learned nothing of value. also bikes

It would have been difficult to push the issue due to cruelty concerns I'm sure. Next time write a clause saying you require a goat on demand for petting purposes. That would be harder for them to back out of if you called them on it. If it clears you should totally get a goat to pet. Maybe two.

I found this on a Husqvarna forum. The initial post was, "Hi there, new to everything here; my terra, motorcycles/maintenance. I was wondering what kind of tools you find to be essential, what you carry when riding, etc." After a couple recoemmendations the final post is: quote:As for torque wrenches...I'll NEVER trust ANY of them with my life. Yup, tell the guy who's never worked on a motorcycle before to ditch the torque wrench and go by ~~feeeel~~! *Full disclosure: I don't own a torque wrench and just tighten to one of three levels - just past finger tight, hard, and crank that motherfucker on. But just reading that post makes me want to go out and buy one tonight.

I wouldn't feel comfortable doing any work to the chain or wheels without a torque wrench. I really don't want my wheels to fall off or strip out.

I feel like I have some kind of superpower for being able to judge how tight something should be based on the dimensions of the fastener and the job it's doing when I read CA I swear. The range between too loose and too tight for something like an axle bolt is MASSIVE. The torque spec will be XXX+-10 but in reality it's like +-50 you'll-be-fine range.

The only time I use a torque wrench is internal motor work and in those cases I am overly paranoid.

Anytime you can see the metal guts, its torque wrench time. Also a good idea around bearings. I also got into the habit of using them to put oil filter cover bolts back on after stripping a half a dozen. drat cases are always made out of pewter it feels like.

Slavvy posted:A comprehensive list of poo poo you actually need a torque wrench for on a motorcycle: Oil drain plugs. I once cracked an oilpan on my CB550 because I didn't use a torque wrench. On my DRZ, the drain plug screws directly into the case (no replaceable pan) or frame (two drain bolts). Don't really want to think about the PITA involved in cracking that.

First oil change on the Buell I used my torque wrench and stripped all the threads out. Turns out the torque spec is for dry threads, not oily ones. Seems legit.

nitrogen posted:seconding oil drain plugs, after I stripped an oil drain bolt trying to get it off. Ugh. And a third from me. My GSXR bolt and super overtightened and stripped by the previous owner, and I found threads from the case on the bolt the first time I changed the oil. I got lucky as the oil pan was removable so I tapped it out and put a Helicoil in it.
