Sunday Ride,

[Tom Kunich]

It shows 130 miles so I expect that it didn't download yesterday.

I have to be more careful to SAVE each ride so that it doesn't do that. Two more rides till the end of the month and showing over 491 miles so far. That's more than Flunky has for the year.

So you claim to have all these miles, yet you don't post anything other than a claim. I think you're full of shit and don't ride any more than Jeff does. My rides are automatically posted to my strava account. If you're interested in what my mileage actually is this year, you can check any one of the links I've posted and view the current YTD stats.

I don't brag about my mileage because it isn't noteworthy, but it's certainly more noteworthy than an addled old fool who makes more grandiose claims than george santos, with even less proof. I'm more interested in riding fast, and pretty happy that at age 60 I can still pop into the top ten on a local cat 4 climb. https://www.strava.com/segments/32524185?filter=overall.

You can have your high mileage, sparky, it doesn't interest me in the slightest, especially when it's just you running your old fat toothless mouth without any proof.

Perhaps you can explain to anyone interested what particular interest I have in what you believe or don't believe? Anyone that claims to be an engineer and does nothing but sit around all day and play on this group is a liar and I couldn't care what you believe.

If you weren't' obsessed with me, you wouldn't keep dropping my name in discussions where I'm not involved and starting threads dedicated entirely to me.

> Anyone that claims to be an engineer and does nothing but sit around all day and play on this group is a liar

I might agree if anyone here actually did that.

> and I couldn't care what you believe.

Then why do you keep talking about me?

[Tom Kunich]

Well, I have to admit after working for 50 years mostly as an engineer that seeing someone like you pretending to be an engineer is insulting. So I have to mention it often and loudly.

[funkma...@hotmail.com]

Tell again how PWM is used to test cables?

Tell us why you thought it was a good idea to use an external A/D converter in your silly little water detector when the integrated A/D in the PIC would have more than done the job.

Give us a link to some document somewhere that uses "light lines' as term for fiber optics.

> So I have to mention it often and loudly.

The pretender here is you. All you're doing is trying to protect your fragile ego because you can't stand the idea that someone might know more on a subject than you do, to the extent that you make up stupid bull shit like 'my ten year old ford taurus accelerates as fast a s new tesla and gets 54 mpg into a headwind'. The joke here is that you actually entertain the idea that anyone believes you.

[Tom Kunich]

So after all this you actually believe that you can know anything? I have to admit I fully expected you to run to the company programmer to read that small C program I wrote and that told me 1. You call yourself an engineer and cannot read C. 2. Your dumbfuck company doesn't build anything that uses microprocessors.

[funkma...@hotmail.com]

It's pretty obvious who is the SME here, and it isn't you.

> I have to admit I fully expected you to run to the company programmer to read that small C program I wrote

"the company programmer"....yeah, there's a legitimate job title. Of course, we should expect that from someone who thinks it's the manufacturing engineer's job to fix design flaws.

> and that told me 1. You call yourself an engineer and cannot read C

I can read enough to know the A/D scaling was fucked up enough to never actually detect water.

> 2. Your dumbfuck company doesn't build anything that uses microprocessors.

Two N-version architecture products certified to IEC 61508-2 and -3. Don't worry, architecture of that type is so far above your head it isn't worth trying to explain.

Still waiting for any reference to "light lines" (lol....that ain't gonna happen)

[Tom Kunich]

Precisely how could you tell when you never made a single comment when it you could understand anything you surely would have. Just how many lies can you pack into one sentence?

[funkma...@hotmail.com]

I replied to you when you first posted the code.

> Just how many lies can you pack into one sentence?

The person lying is you.

[Tom Kunich]

Oh poor little boy with the "no you didn't".

[funkma...@hotmail.com]

You're making that claim, not me.

Re "light lines" I think they may have existed. You see, growing up in
a small New England town there were tall wooden poles set along the
edges of many roads. People referred to these as either "Telephone
Poles" or sometimes "Light Poles" and the wires that connected the
telephone poles were called "telephone wires or lines" so logically
the wires connecting the light poles must have been "light Wires or
lines" (:-)

Thank you for following Poe's law.

[Tom Kunich]

You never worked in the business and claim that because you don't know the terminology, it doesn't exist. Just more proof that you're not an engineer.

At HP I was on development teams for several product used to test fiber optic networks, the last of which was an OC-48 protocol analyzer (one product was a portable OTDR). In 10 years working as first the test department supervisor before transitioning to the New Product Introductions group, and finally a Test Engineer, I never heard one person anywhere, anytime, ever use the term "light lines". This included visits to customer sites including Alcatel AT&T, and Verizon, numerous seminars, and contributing technical material to the marketing teams.

No one, tommy, no one, uses 'light lines' to describe fiber optics.
