Ace-Garageguy Posted February 20 Posted February 20 (edited) Lunches be hanged, "trades" are frequently looked down on by the college "educated" today, those elite personages who couldn't change a tire or their own oil or cook a meal if their lives depended on it, and who believe any mouth-breathing knuckle-dragging chimp can perform any physical task equally well, from scrubbing a floor to building an automatic transmission.

Tim W. SoCal Posted February 20 Posted February 20 transmission class was my most challenging and interesting when I was a student at trade school 1
Tom Geiger Posted February 20 Posted February 20 School is wasted on the young who are too immature to understand why they need to learn anything
Ace-Garageguy Posted February 20 Posted February 20 (edited) Anything that used to be "common knowledge" isn't apparently being taught much these days; I vividly recall having learned how an internal combustion engine works, how a wing makes lift, how electricity is generated, and that the Sun is a star all by the sixth grade, and I've encountered a lot of folks fairly recently "educated" who know none of that.

A modeler named mike Posted February 20 Posted February 20 "That is preposterous" said Molly when she was told little Billy designed a car that could fly and generate it's own power source from the sun by the time he graduated 5th grade.
Ace-Garageguy Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Grade school should turn out students who are proficient in basic arithmetic, able to read and comprehend sentences, paragraphs, and easier books, able to write coherent paragraphs explaining what they've read, who know how to look up information in dictionaries and reference books (not just google everything), and who know basic geography (like where Europe is and the countries it encompasses) and basic science (like fire is rapid oxidation, what the periodic table is, and the different kinds of energy). 1
slusher Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Energy level is not what it use to be I’m sure those days are over..
Tom Geiger Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Over in China they are teaching their kids all the important things our education system abandoned. 2

slusher Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Diorama are very cool I am working on my own shop diorama and figures.. 1
A modeler named mike Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Figures in a diorama can add a touch of realism and a sense of action or movement when strategically placed in situational positions.

Tom Geiger Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Shaker Village in New Hampshire was established by Benjamin Whitcher in 1792 where he harbored and protected local Shakers from persecution, eventually donating the land on which the village was built
Ace-Garageguy Posted February 20 Posted February 20 (edited) Built models, if well done, are interesting historical artifacts, and if poorly done are challenging but rewarding subjects for rebuilding and modification...just like full-scale junkyard rescues. Edited February 20 by Ace-Garageguy 2
Tom Geiger Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Rescues can make excellent doggies as they may have lived harrowing lives and understand how good they now have it in your domicile! 1
LennyB Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Domicile for my dog is supposed to be his doghouse but more times then not I find him sleeping in my bed then I'm in the doghouse. 1
Ace-Garageguy Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Doghouse heaters need to be installed so there's no chance ol' Fido thinks he has a new chew-toy and lights himself up like a Christmas tree. 1
Tom Geiger Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Tree branches are all over my yard from the recent windstorm, and I'm not going out there to pick 'em up until the temperature warms up a bit 1
LennyB Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Bit, used to be able to get a shave and a haircut for two of them, now everyone thinks you are talking computer language. 1
Ace-Garageguy Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Language is a powerful tool in the hands of a fluent user.
LennyB Posted February 20 Posted February 20 User error is something I have to deal with more often these days as technology is becoming smarter then the customer. 2
