Ya know, Peggy from Twitter. Artist, writer, musician, was in an anthology on the NYT Bestseller list. Should really find the time to get back to making my comic at some point….

I'd like to tell a quick story about successful troubleshooting.

A few months ago I rented a scissor lift to install lighting at my new office. When it arrived, the delivery person gave me a quick demo and off he went.

Well, when I went to actually use it - the lift went up by about a foot then stopped and screamed beeps of terror. It was broken!

But the display on the control read "18"

Rather than call the rental company, I searched "sinoboom fault code 18" to see what that meant.

@TechConnectify Troubleshooting is a Critical Thinking Skill. All fine arts teach critical thinking skills, as all fine arts involve problem solving and abstract reasoning. This is one of the reasons we should be pushing for STEAM not STEM in schools.

NASA and Boeing are getting comfortable launching Starliner with a known leak

Fixing the helium leak would likely delay the Starliner crew test flight several months.

@arstechnica remembers the Challenger and thinks about Boeing's current track record

Howsabout we delay the launch, fix the problem, and not risk an avoidable tragedy?
