Here is the actual reply which I received, and I will note that the VP and I have a sufficiently good relationship that I knew immediately that this was a joke:



Note that "cherry picker" is our internal slang for a specific two racks of hardware which my predecessor tried to massively over-engineer to the point where it couldn't possibly work, and which I've since been reverse-engineering (in my spare time) with the goal of simplifying until it can work.

And I think I'm close to getting it down to where it will in fact work if a human, having made a practical observation and conscious decision, pushes a single button. This, as compared to the previous ideology that the system should be 100% Skynet-level autonomous, which is impossible in the real world given present-day AI.

Local listing..

"175/65R14 Mazda Miata Tires made for ice racing. Used in two events last January on a miata (no rubbing). Could fit other cars with 4x100 lug pattern like older Honda Civic or older BMW 3 series. Held air pretty well. 150 studs per tire"

Despite the paucity of horsepower, it was pretty much the fastest street car on the track with those tires. Huge fun, even though it had so much grip that it felt like it was going to tip over in most corners.

Not my pic but typical winter racing weekend in the town I used to live in once the ice was thick enough to hold all the cars.

I guess expecting good engineering practice these days is nothing more than a pipe dream.
