My Final Year Thesis Project

The ultimate flex in the OS wars! Linux enthusiasts love dropping this mic-drop fact: the International Space Station runs on Linux. Why? Because when your computer is orbiting Earth at 17,500 mph, you can't exactly call IT to reboot after a blue screen of death. NASA and space agencies worldwide chose Linux for its legendary stability and reliability—the same OS that your bearded friend won't stop evangelizing about at every coffee meetup. Next time Windows forces an update while you're presenting, just remember: somewhere 250 miles above Earth, Linux is keeping astronauts alive without crashing.

When engineers order Swedish Fish candy vs. when they order actual engineering parts! McMaster-Carr catalog precision strikes again! That moment when your candy needs technical specifications but your machine parts look suspiciously edible. The engineering brain demands EXACT dimensions for everything—even snacks! 1⅛" of gummy goodness versus a ¼" of... whatever that bottom thing is. Precision is a lifestyle, not a choice!

The unholy approximation of π=3 is enough to summon mathematical demons. Engineers regularly commit this numerical sin for "close enough" calculations while mathematicians shriek in horror. The difference between 3.14159... and 3 might seem trivial until your bridge collapses or your rocket misses Mars by a few million miles. But hey, significant digits are just suggestions, right? Pure mathematicians are still in therapy over this.

This is what happens when scientists get sassy! The sign treats imperial units like they're actual profanity - because to metric system enthusiasts, they basically are! 😂 The joke about never saying the "Big F" (Fahrenheit) but using °C instead is pure scientific shade. It's basically a science lab's version of a swear jar - use inches instead of centimeters? That's a quarter in the jar, buddy! Fun fact: The US is one of only three countries (along with Liberia and Myanmar) still officially using imperial measurements. The rest of the scientific world is like, "Get with the program already!" Meanwhile, NASA has lost spacecraft due to unit conversion errors. Talk about an expensive four-letter word!

Engineering students discovering that calling someone a "dumb animal" backfires spectacularly when they can't even handle basic statics problems. The silent existential dread in that final "no" is what powers the entire engineering department. Nothing humbles an overconfident engineering student faster than staring blankly at a stress-strain diagram while their calculator mysteriously displays "ERROR." At least the monkey knows its limitations—unlike the student who still thinks "moment of inertia" is what happens when they procrastinate on homework.

Engineers rounding π down to 3 while physicists casually setting Planck's constant (ħ) to 1 is the scientific equivalent of "my approximation is better than yours." Engineers need bridges that don't collapse. Physicists just need equations that look prettier on the blackboard. Both think they're being practical, but in wildly different universes. The real crime? Mathematicians silently judging them both from their ivory tower of exactitude.
