    Multi engine airplanes have two "pilots". The guy in the Left Hand seat

    Your arguments seem more and more to indicate that you don't know what
    you are talking and may not even have been in the Air Force at all.
    Were you one of those that ran away to Canada to avoid the draft?

    Nope, in my day the Crew Chief and his crew maintained the engines

    John B.





    Why can't you keep yourself from telling lies? The crew chief had nothing to do with the engine and airframe mechanics beyond submitting write-ups from the crew or submitting your own writeup for normal timed maintenance.

    John, it drives you nuts that you can't lie in front of someone who has been there. You didn't even know that there were SAC and TAC. So stop your trying to deny I was in thge Air Force. AF19748158 E2 with a level 5 maintenance level and a secret
    security clearance until 9-11 when the government seized its chance to take away all of the clearances so that the could spend huge amounts of money to redocument your clearance.

    Tell us again how you and your wife used to ride down into Bangkok.

    Therefore the Democrats had to commit election fraud on a grander scale than they had been doing. Nixon commented on that in front of Colonel Oliver North and North decided he had to know what the Democrats' plans were. So he planned and invaded the
    Democrats inner sanctom. It was plan that Nixon had nothing to do with it because it was clumbsy and ineffective, far different from what Nixon would have done. But the Slime Stream Media dumped it into Nixon's lap and hounded him into resigning. To that
    point most of the media was at least polite. But the moment they smelled blood in the water, like the sharks they were, they were tearing Nixon to bits. I wish to remind you of Nixon's last speech. "Your President is not a crook." What's more he never
    needed to be one.

    Now here are 50 years after the event and even from that distance Krygowski still cannot think about what happened. Even with the Nixon Foundation'z vidios of Nixon speeches showing him to have been far too smart to even try something like Watergate.

    Krygowski insists on being stupid because Nixon was a first class Liberal whereas Frank is and remains a stupid socialist.

    This is closer to reality on why Eisenhower wanted Nixon as VP. <https://www2.gwu.edu/~erpapers/mep/displaydoc.cfm?docid=erpn-ricnix>
    I guess(tm) this is what you consider to be an "international
    scholar".
    "Nixon was kept outside of the president's inner circle, yet he
    developed considerable skill in foreign policy, which was demonstrated
    in his 1959 confrontation in Moscow with Soviet premier Nikita
    Khrushchev, known as the kitchen debate."

    You also screwed up your dates and events, but I don't have time to
    fix that for you.

    Eisenhower wanted Nixon as VP because Nixon was viewed a fervent anti-communist because he was a member of the HUAC (House Un-American Activities Committee) and because he worked on alien registration
    laws. At the time, the "Red Scare" was very much on everyone's mind. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Scare#Second_Red_Scare_(1947%E2%80%931957)>

    Liebermann unfortunately is willing to dig around and find any left wing sourse that will sling dirt on Nixon.

    To the real people here, Nixon was driven out of office because he believed that even an unsuccessful attempt to impeach him would destroy his legacy. The Democrats tried this again with Trump and he simply ignored them. Virtu8ally all articles about
    Trump in the Slime Stream Media are completely negative and most are outright lies such as the claim that he said to drink bleach to cure Covid-19.

    This has ended the rein of the Slime Stream Media and 70% of Americans give them not the slightest heed.

    This is why Flunky, Liebermann and Krygowski feel so superior to people that do not spell correctly, They can pick the proper spelling from the list provided. You just witnessed Flunky and Liebermann making a big deal out of spelling Techtronix correctly

    and Krygowski managed to earn a living.


    Right here in my closet I have one of the best Techtronix oscilloscopes made and a dozen to one, neither Flunky nor Liebermann could even turn it on or use it properly. But they can spell the name correctly and that is important, right?

    Liebermann, you're the only person in the world that can believe that winning by 86 votes in the electoral college where Trump needed only 270 votes to win and he had 312 is only 16%. That stupidity alone should disqualify you for welfare.

    You were in Vietnam? When was that? Before or after you spent your

    And where did you do for the other 3 years and some months that you

    While overseas I never heard a mention of TAC or SAC, it was the 14th

    command of the United States Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) Seventh Air
    Force.

    Tommy stop lying. Nobody sits in the A.C.'S seat except the A.C. You
    saying that the let you fly the airplane is so ridicules that it isn't
    even funny.
    As for flying on a mission I have heard that was done when it was
    possible that a technician could fix something in flight but I'm
    guessing that was a rare happening and the thought of a shop chief
    sending a half trained A2C to do the job is, again, ridicules.
    Particularly as said A2C has confessed that his usual "work" was to
    carry the tool bag for a competent A1C.

    In short, you have,once again, proved yourself a liar.


    Seems like you can't stand the idea that there were other people in the >>>Air Force that have your number.

    I do find it interesting that you are completely unaware of the fact that >while there was a unit of the 7th Air Force in Vietnam, it was largely in >Thailand. I also find it incriminating that you do not know that it was >part of TAC.

    No Tommy I didn't know that the 7th AF was a part of TAC, and I don't
    believe you do either. So provide a little evidence.

    If you don't even know that how could you possibly know what
    occurred on Missions? And tell us again how the AC never took a piss or >that there wasn't an Air Force rule that both aircraft control stations >were not supposed to be manned at all times.

    Well, given that I've flown on more flights then you I suspect I know
    more about what goes on in airplanes then you do and there is no rule
    that the AC's seat has to be filled at all times. Why would there be
    such a rule? After all what could an untrained A2c do there?

    Your lies are getting ahead
    of you. Crew Chiefs knew NOTHING about an aircraft in the air. Give us
    some more of your stupid bullshit.

    Ah, so loud, so dumb.

    As a Crew Chief or maintenance technician I flew (lets see) from Japan
    to Okinawa (several times), to The Philippines, to Thailand, and to
    Enewetak. The flight to Thailand was long before any U.S. unit had
    been there before and was to honor the King's birthday or some such
    thing. Enewetak was for the atomic tests of course.

    And so you won't get confused, if you fly there you have to fly back
    :-)

    And the reason why was, of chouse to perform any required maintenance
    a full maintenance crew was needed as there was no qualified
    technicians for our airplanes stationed at these locations.




    It was very easy to remember Stategic Bombders and Tankers were part of SAC. Fighters and Fighter/bombers were TAC.

    The 7th Air Force operated A10's which were fighter/bombers and F15's which were fighter/interceptors and is part of TAC.

    Therefore the Democrats had to commit election fraud on a grander scale than they had been doing. Nixon commented on that in front of Colonel Oliver North and North decided he had to know what the Democrats' plans were. So he planned and invaded
    the Democrats inner sanctom. It was plan that Nixon had nothing to do with it because it was clumbsy and ineffective, far different from what Nixon would have done. But the Slime Stream Media dumped it into Nixon's lap and hounded him into resigning. To
    that point most of the media was at least polite. But the moment they smelled blood in the water, like the sharks they were, they were tearing Nixon to bits. I wish to remind you of Nixon's last speech. "Your President is not a crook." What's more he
    never needed to be one.

    Now here are 50 years after the event and even from that distance Krygowski still cannot think about what happened. Even with the Nixon Foundation'z vidios of Nixon speeches showing him to have been far too smart to even try something like
    Watergate.

    Krygowski insists on being stupid because Nixon was a first class Liberal whereas Frank is and remains a stupid socialist.

    This is closer to reality on why Eisenhower wanted Nixon as VP.
    <https://www2.gwu.edu/~erpapers/mep/displaydoc.cfm?docid=erpn-ricnix>
    I guess(tm) this is what you consider to be an "international
    scholar".
    "Nixon was kept outside of the president's inner circle, yet he
    developed considerable skill in foreign policy, which was demonstrated
    in his 1959 confrontation in Moscow with Soviet premier Nikita
    Khrushchev, known as the kitchen debate."

    You also screwed up your dates and events, but I don't have time to
    fix that for you.

    Eisenhower wanted Nixon as VP because Nixon was viewed a fervent
    anti-communist because he was a member of the HUAC (House Un-American
    Activities Committee) and because he worked on alien registration
    laws. At the time, the "Red Scare" was very much on everyone's mind.

    But Liebermann who wasn't alive at that time is willing to tell us all about it.

    What time (or date)? Try to be a little less vague and evasive.

    I was born in 1948 and was very much alive when Nixon was president
    (1969 - 1974). I was also alive when Nixon was vice-president (1953 -
    1961). I have fond memories of the Watergate scandal, where one of my roommates in college hung a rather large print of Nixon the wall of
    our dorm room. At the time, I was a Libertarian which made for some interesting conversation.

    Just like saying that the Techtronix wire fault detector is the way to measure wire length when it operates exactly like my home made device. Or that he could tell you that I am wrong about mud conditions on Cull Canyon by looking at a picture from
    Google Earth of unknown date. Liebermann - your life is a failure because you can never learn from your mistakes.

    Thanks for demonstrating your ineptitude. A wire fault detector is a continuity tester. A cable fault detector is a TDR. Show me a
    continuity tester that measures cable length and I might believe a
    small part of the rubbish you're unloading in RBT.




    Liebermann, willyou please stop demonstrating your ignorance so casually? There are all kinds of faults that can occur to wire strings. Discontinuity is only one. I re4alize that you're too stupid to actually read that article on the Techtronix wire
    fault testor but it shoed PARTIAL cracks inb the wire in three different regions. That makes no difference to someone whose entire world was changing ink jet printer cartridges since you're use to either continuity or not, but to sensitive electronics
    those reflections from partial breaks can cause failures. And this can come from simply handling the wire too roughly.

    Since you didn't evrn bother to look at the display you missed the demonstration of wire length.

    Is there some reason that you 7you feel the need to show your ignorance with EVERY posting? Why don't you prove that there wasn't water behind the dam on Cull Canyon before the rainy season filled it completely in with mud? You could always show a Google
    Earth photo of indeterminate date to prove me wrong. Of you could always show a picture of the carefully maintained swimming area filling up with mud. Or one that you can clearly see open water in the background. Or you can ignore the sign saying "Keep
    Out, Soft Mud."

    Continue blathering on. At least you have Flunky who is no kind of EE at all agreeing with you. Or the both of you can claim that my resume is falsified because companies would NEVER be smart enough to actually varify claims. Or call the people making
    recommendations of my work. PhD's who earned their degrees honestly.

    Hey, you can always tell everyone that my claim that the BCC Model 1 which I helped build wasn't the
    worlds largest and fastest time sharing computer. THAT must have been why UC Berkeley bought it and put it on line! UC Berkeley at the time actually graduated engineers and not draft dodgers.

    claim that you knew which library books to read because they came to

    You will try absolutely anything to attempt to pretend I wasn't 50 years an engineer while you had only a very short term as a QC engineer and pissed off everyone so much that they fired you and wouldn't even acjknowledge that you worked for them.

    I was an electronics engineer NOT because I read out so many libraries. I was an engineer because I was actually curious about things from a very young age. I didn't go to college to AVOID something. I went into the Air Force because I wanted to learn
    things new.

    After I got out of the Air Force, I continued and while you were trying to finish the manual on how to change ink jet printer cartridges, I read every single Intel manual down to the slightest derail and knew that an Intell 8008 could control a
    mechanical device performing a complex control job and then later realize that the latest 8080 was pin comatible and simply by changing the clock speed could perform many additional jobs with the same instrument merely by adding additional dimensions of
    movement.

    Again and again you show your true ignorance. Why doesn't it EVER make you stop and think what you look like? John Slocomb's analysis of historicsl events shows that aven in his 90's he is curious and learning. That at least shows to me that they
    probably misclassified him when he enterred the service and should have at least put him in a more technical trade. Jet engine mechanics probably.

    It is always entertaining to see you deny you're a "QC manager" because you know damned well what the engineering opinion of QC engineers is and you're not even that - you're a MANAGER who knows so little about engineering that you wouldn't read a C

    Oh, please DO show us your "75/25" computations in detail!

    After telling us that you had to teach high level math it sort of stood out that you didn't correct me.

    It's obvious your "75/25" statement was wrong. If you want me to correct >> >your math in detail - that is, so you wouldn't repeat your mistake -
    you'd have to show me your work.

    You've refused to do that. I can't help you.

    Help is always possible. Whether the recipient is interested in being
    helped is the current problem. Tom wants to be the source and origin
    of literally everything in rec.bicycles.tech. If someone else makes a
    valid claim, backs it with references and explains how it works in
    detail, Tom will want no part of it and claim that it's a Democratic
    party conspiracy. He might also claim that he didn't see the message,
    couldn't read it because his anti-virus program wasn't allowing him to
    see it, or simply ignore any further discussion on the topic.

    These Percentage Vote Calculators might help, assuming Tom is able to
    read, think and calculate:

    Liebermann, you're the only person in the world that can believe that winning by 86 votes in the electoral college where Trump needed only 270 votes to win and he had 312 is only 16%. That stupidity alone should disqualify you for welfare.

    In deference to your limited ability to do simple arithmetic, I posted
    my calculations in as simple a manner as possible. I also provided
    links to two online calculators (above) that will do the arithmetic
    for you without the need to deal with intermediate results. I can do
    no more to help you.

    Liebermann, as usual you posted absolutely inconsequential crap totally misjudging what the actual question was. You wanted to ptove that the winning margine was 16% of the number of electors.

    While that is correct that was not and is not the question. The question is the winning margin. Trump made 138% of the electors voting for Harris. You attempt to make it appear to be less simply through slight-of-hand fails yet again.

    And no matter WHAT Trump has a majority that cannot be broken by any legal method. And he has a majority in the House and the Senate and the Supreme Court. All of which would vote against him if he were the Adolf Hitler you wish he were.

    Trump 312 votes
    Harris 226 votes
    Total 538 votes

    Percentage of Trumps votes = number of votes/total of votes* 100 = 312/538*100 = 58%

    Percentage of Harris votes = number of votes/total of votes* 100 = 226/538*100=42%

    58% + 42% = 100%. Just checking data is valid.

    Trump won by 58% - 42% = 16%

    So now you know why degrees are important, and why only people that
    can think logically can get them (well, in sciences anyway)

    Liebermann's calculus was correct, assuming the number of votes is
    also correct.

    That stupidity alone should disqualify you for welfare.

    And yet it didn't. Biden and Obama were kind to you. You still
    live on welfare.

    But chins up, Trump will be giving you a 75% raise next
    year**, because he gave his "word" he would and he loves poor people.
    []'s

    ** in taxes, but hey, 75% is 75% !!!!




    What you have calculated was the percentage of electoral votes based on total electoral votes. You are quite correct but that is meaningless when the question is WHAT WAS THE MARGIN OF VICTORY BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM.

    And again the number is 38%

    I suppose that you have a degree and consider the same slight of hand that Liebermann attempted to pull off as clear to anyone else with a degree. Well it is also clear to me that by not answering the real question you did nothing.

    Not to insult you but simply to point out why I was the one selected to take all of the impossible engineering jobs. Unless you seriously consider the correct questions you can never arrive at the correct answers.

    I was actually insulted that they gave me the NASA job to design a communications adapter board for the International Space Station. It was nothing more than cross connecting interface chips. And then I was doubly insulted when NASA wanted a 5,000 page
    manual which was nothing more than the layout of the backplane and the manufacturers manual descriptions of the indivisual communication's adapters. But I suppose that my managers thought that a NASA job would look good on my resume that they used to
    contract me out.

    I have the best anti-virus and VPM that money can buy. That's because when I was recovering frommy head injury I had someone break into my old and slow desktop and screw everything up. It wouldn't even load the OS. So still in the throws of disability I
    took it into a local computer repair business. He promptly told me that the only way to fix it was to load in a new OS. Not understanding what he meant I gave him the go ahead. He ERASED the entire disk and loaded a new OS in. My complete resume and all
    of the recommendations were on it and lost forever. I had a lot of partial resume's out because head hunters didn't like 27 page resume's so I would shorten and specialize them for a particular job. But that meant that all I could recover was partial
    resume's and letters of recommendation.

    A very good friend was an NCIS team leader who was a spy catcher and led a team of I think 16 agents in Italy. He wanted to return to the US but NCIS is almost exclusively overseas. He appled to the FBI which is what his master's was in but they said "
    Whites need not apply" So the only position open was a Federal Agent position as a computer specialist keeping the Federal computer system free of invasions.

    The point is, that if I had asked him about my computer he could have recovered all of my data AND installed a new OS without any damage.
