Fluids Midterms Be Like...

Behold the modern tech job seeker's origin story! Our hero Adam makes the ULTIMATE career pivot by *checks notes* getting an LED to blink on an Arduino. Next stop? Becoming a self-proclaimed embedded systems expert on LinkedIn faster than you can say "Hello World"! The beautiful part? That single blinking LED project - literally THE tutorial everyone starts with - has somehow transformed into mastery of microcontrollers, AVR, and the entire programming universe. This is the equivalent of making toast once and adding "professional chef" to your resume. Pure job-hunting alchemy!

The physics of tire pressure meets social awkwardness in one glorious collision! What starts as a helpful stranger pointing out underinflated tires quickly transforms into a masterclass on pneumatic precision. The woman's self-deprecating "I set the bar too low" confession is pure gold—because who hasn't miscalibrated something important in life? The recommended 2.2-2.3 bar (32-33 psi) is actually spot-on for many passenger vehicles. Maintaining proper tire pressure isn't just about avoiding awkward car conversations—it improves fuel efficiency by 3%, extends tire life by 25%, and enhances vehicle handling. The difference between "half flat" and optimal inflation is the difference between physics working for you or against you!

The eternal dilemma of aerospace engineers standing at the career crossroads! Left path: NASA with its sunny skies, government funding, and the prestige of public space exploration. Right path: Lockheed Martin with its stormy atmosphere, defense contracts, and significantly higher salary packages. Both will send things to space—one for scientific discovery, the other potentially to make things go boom. The real question isn't which pill to take, but rather: do you want to build rovers that search for alien microbes or satellites that can spot a quarter from orbit? Either way, your parents will finally stop asking when you're getting a "real job."

The epic Tesla vs. Edison rivalry in one perfect meme! Top panel shows Nikola Tesla, the brilliant inventor who pioneered alternating current and wireless technology, labeled as "Guy who made the joke." Bottom panel features Thomas Edison holding a lightbulb with the caption "Guy who said it louder infront of the whole class." This perfectly captures how Edison, master marketer and businessman, often got credit for ideas he "borrowed" from others. Edison's famous quote "Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration" conveniently leaves out the part where the inspiration came from someone else's brain! Scientific history's original content thief.

Behold the divine comedy of technological misunderstanding! Someone's thanking the heavens for computers while thinking they're made of lead and copper, only to have their bubble burst with the silicon truth. This is basically every conversation between an engineer and their parents trying to explain what they actually do for a living. "Yes Mom, I work with computers, but no, they're not powered by witchcraft or whatever metal you found in your jewelry box." For the record, modern computers rely on silicon semiconductors, not lead (which would be toxic) or copper (which is just for wiring). The look of divine horror in the second panel is every materials scientist watching someone confidently explain technology they know nothing about. Divine intervention can't save you from the periodic table!

Ever notice how math professors love turning simple questions into epic quests? This formula is the mathematical equivalent of asking "how old are you?" while wearing a hard hat and looking dead serious! 🤓 The beautiful part? No matter what age you input, after dividing by 10, multiplying by 9, multiplying by π, dividing by e, and taking the sine... you get exactly zero! It's just a fancy way of saying "I don't care how old you are, you're nothing to me!" Pure mathematical savagery! And that construction helmet? That's to protect you from the mind-blowing realization that you just did all that math for absolutely nothing. Safety first when demolishing someone's self-worth with trigonometry!
