What's so bad about stupid people is that they don't know that they're stupid. They don't see anything that needs fixing of updating. Stupid people also tend to have a bullying problem, or they have a big, loud mouth. Since they can't cogently argue their positions, they use bullying or threats to shove their opinions down people's throats. Such people will throw a few big words around to impress people, even though they have no knowledge of what the words mean, and the words are often used comically out of context. I tend to see that behavior in audio settings or other technical settings (workplace). I see it more in technicians than I do in engineers.

I have seen some stupid people prove themselves wrong and not even realize it.
Sometimes it the engineers , yrs ago a good friend who was a master HVAC tech told the engineer who sized the chiller in a food processing plant that the new one was not enough capacity , him and his team laughed at him and asked where his degree was , well they installed it , and it was way to small and they had to hook up the old chiller back up and run it with the new one also led to a law suite against the engineering company that sized it . They laughed off his real world experience and it cost them ! Where they screwed up the calculations were made with ground temp water around 40-50 degrees , however the water lines which were about 500 ft long ran along the celling above the ovens which typically reach temps between 90-120 degrees depending on the time of the year !

When engineering feed back from the field is very important, deserves consideration. Thinking back, there was a saying, yes, looks good but will it fly, the question should be asked.
I sized the HVAC for a lab area we were planning in the new building we were moving into. I gave them the number and they said, "Nah, that's too much," and put in a smaller unit. I moved out of that lab into another area, but went back a few years later to visit. They had a huge project going, and had to rent portable coolers to keep the temperature down.
They didn't listen to me and paid the price for their ignorance.
Post count has never been a big deal to me. If I see that someone has been here a very long time, like yourself, without many post, you have other things to do. If I see someone has a very large post count and hasn't been here very long, that person has time to post more. No judgement, no ASSumptons, we all just gotta live our lives and do what we enjoy.I just hit 10K and have been here longer.
Congrats

To my way of thinking, the ratio of "replies" to "likes is of more interest than just a high total.
And, there are some threads wherein if offering a fav album/artist has a high rate of "likes" shared, which off-sets some who help/share an audio knowledge base.
But this is just my individual appreciation of the above stats.

That’s what happens when you ignore real world experience !
A lot of times, if there is a discussion here in the forums or via PM and someone says something that I agree with and there is nothing more to say, I will click like on the post or message as my way of saying that the conversation appears to be over unless the other person has something to add.
Yup. They fart, smell it, and then wonder who did it.
The water a horse drinks in one mile on a hot day. So, you'd need 20 hats for a 20-mile ride.

Per Wiki:
"Some cowboy hats have been called "ten-gallon" hats. The term came into use about 1925. There are multiple theories for how the concept arose.
One theory is that the term "ten-gallon" is a corruption of the Spanish modifier tan galán, which loosely translates as "really handsome" or "so fine". For example, "un sombrero tan galán" translates as "such a fine hat".
Another theory is that the term "ten-gallon" is a corruption of the Spanish term galón, which means "galloon", a type of narrow braided trim around the crown, possibly a style adapted by Spanish cowboys. When Texas cowboys misunderstood the word galón for "gallon", the popular, though incorrect, legend may have been born. According to Reynolds and Rand, "The term ten-gallon did not originally refer to the holding capacity of the hat, but to the width of a Mexican sombrero hatband, and is more closely related to this unit of measurement by the Spanish than to the water-holding capacity of a Stetson."
Early print advertising by Stetson showed a cowboy giving his horse a drink of water from a hat. The Stetson company notes that a "ten-gallon" hat (equivalent to 38 liters) only holds 3⁄4 US gallon (2.8 L)."
And now I know more than I ever wanted regarding ten-gallon hats.

So, lemme get this straight. 20x10 gals=200 gals per 20 miles!
That a pretty thirsty horse.Sure you ain't talkin'...a camel?
