The First Law of Engineering

The premise that 1) Anything can be fixed by hitting it with a hammer, and 2) If you cannot fix the problem, you do not have a big enough hammer.

"It's The First Law of Engineering, Leonidas,” Granadica sent. “If you can’t fix it, you’re not using a big enough hammer.”

-Granadica in The Hot Gate, book three of the Troy Rising series by John Ringo

Engineering-buddy

Someone in your engineering class who you mean a lot to and share many memories with. They really miss you when you are gone and don't know what to do without you. They can't wait until the next time they get to see you.

That thing or person in your life that appears to exist simply to make your continued existence more difficult. This can be a friend, family member, colleague, pet, or just your hoopty that makes your life difficult. This is differentiated from a simple issue in that it can't easily be eliminated without substantial cost and rather than passively irritating you the PCIE appears to thrive on creating more trouble.

Theusen's Engineers

Engineers, a flask of poison, and a radioactive source are placed in a sealed all-hands meeting. If an internal monitor detects radioactivity (i.e., a single atom decaying), the flask is shattered, releasing the poison that kills the engineers.

The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics implies that after a while, the engineers are simultaneously alive and dead.
The last meeting we were in made me feel like we were Theusen's Engineers.

Stan carried around the characters from the novel he was writing on a 2-gig memory stick, characters who were always changing and evolving, always, as he was so fond of saying, cybernetically engineered individuals.
