obsessed with the Disney fairies franchise’s implications that the orders/elements of magic are wind, water, light, plants, animals, and mechanical engineers
SilverNight told a friend in mech e this and she shouted “we ARE magical! do you see civil engineers being this cool? NO!”

In general The Nichomachean Ethics by Aristotle is a drag but this part is hilarious. Aristotle fr said “I love Plato and all he’s my bestie but I love the truth more and guess what. HE’S WRONG”
SilverNight It’s giving this

me: iced pls
Quillfeather Meanwhile I think it's too hot over where I live

Every time someone drills it in my head that "the best design solution is rarely the most obvious one" I just remember a time in eighth grade when everyone in my engineering/design elective was told to create a paper plane and see who could fly it the farthest. I, who did not know how to fold a paper plane (and still don't...) determined that our directions didn't stop me from crumpling it up into a ball, since our main requirement was to fold the paper in some way and by bunching it up I was technically creating dozens of small folds. Everyone else had their aerodynamically designed paper planes that looked like miniature fighter jets the US military could have paid them to commission and I won the competition by chucking the paper ball down the hallway at top speed
SilverNight Did I understand the assignment? Debatable, but last I heard the paper ball is still on display in that classroom and the teacher tells the story every year, and I'm launching an actual rocket next Sunday, so I must have picked up something new along the way

The sky back home was beautiful yesterday. I happen to know this because my mom sent me a picture of it. For centuries, this knowledge would’ve been impossible for any traveler far from home or family to have, but I’m lucky enough to know that the place I love looked like this.

making an assignment's deadline at 11:59 AM (as in, one minute before noon) is an incredibly heinous move. who thought of this? is there such a thing as an anti-nobel peace prize I can give them because it is about to be war.
SilverNight rate my professor has no idea what's about to hit it at the end of the semester

Hi silvernight!! It is SO cool that you’re an aerospace engineer
Can I please bombard you with questions? (just kidding)
SilverNight Haha you can! I’m by no means an expert as I’m still studying this, but I love talking with other people who love space and the like!

What do I name a fictional satellite?SilverNight wrote:me, an aerospace engineering major: oh man i wish i could get to name a space mission. i'd have so many cool ideas.
