Electrical engineer: fuck it make the wire thicker I'm not checking voltage drop again.
That's the kind of reaction almost every kind of engineer would have. But also, some sympathy for the rocket people that can't afford to make measurements irrelevant.
I feel seen
Or "Fuck it, I bet there's enough slack in there that I can pull it out a few more centimeters, I just have to pull really hard."

That's what she said
Nooooo that's why you have the new guys go get the wire stretcher
if that fails, the wire glue, to glue a new length on.
I mean to be fair, solder, and some heat shrink (and copious amounts of tape) have legitamately extended wires for me haha. I do like the idea of sending greenies off to find the wire glue though ;).
Literally!
Men trying to find the clitoris: 😩
Right in the belly button
Uhh, that's either a really low belly button or exceptionally high clitoris.
I snorted out my milk. Fuck both of y'all.
I thought it was near the right butt cheek
It's actually right at the entrance to the butt hole
Al Roker was the weatherman in New York City, and three years ago we had a blizzard. We were supposed to have, according to Al, 4 to 12 inches of snow. That's his prediction. We had 36 inches. Giving him the benefit of the doubt, he was two feet off. THAT'S NOT EVEN IN THE BALLPARK! If you were a roofer and you built a roof and it was two feet off, you'd still be in prison.

Man I hate how AI and non-serif fonts have ruined my reading of so many things.
I’m pretty sure enough of these moments is why we now have absolutely catastrophic weather forecasts every other week but they usually aren’t so bad
No, it's because Trump cut off access to data from weather satellites.
It’s been like this for longer than Trump cut off access from one satellite
Well we've just generally not been great at funding any science agency for quite a while.
The European weather models have also been overstating severe weather
I really just think it’s as I said and nobody wants to be caught under predicting weather so they default to the worst values their models predict

Climate change has increased the chance for extreme weather and made it harder to predict when it will actually happen. Those moments happened more when the models weren’t taking into account what climate change has done.

After watching weather with my own peepers for close to five decades in a cognitive capacity, I can safely say that weather is just getting more extreme all around.
It's over 80° in Phoenix and parts of SoCal this week, the first week of February. We're absolutely fucking fucked.
Meanwhile parts of Texas and the East Coast have gotten more snow than they've seen in a decade.

Monday: "It will rain on Saturday and Sunday." (Makes no outdoor plans for the weekend)
Wednesday: "It might rain on Saturday, it will rain on Sunday." (Still no outdoor plans)
Friday: "It will rain on Monday and Tuesday." (Too late to make outdoor plans)
Doesn't rain for the entire month.
Gotta rely on old people and their bum knees to predict the weather.
Or you learn to smell it and feel it. But it's not good for distant weather and the earlier you feel it the worse it'll be. It's a common skill in places with stupid amounts of weather like the American Midwest.
Note to self: never move to the American Midwest. I get sinus migraines from changes in barometric pressure, and can usually tell when a rainstorm is coming from the sinus pressure.

Unless it was the prison roof that you built.
While I love Black and the routine, I always am baffled when people complain about the weather reports getting it wrong.
For the last million years of human society, the only predictor we had for weather was passed-down stories and signs in the sky to indicate changing seasons. We knew it gets cold in winter, but we had no idea when exactly the first snowfall would be, or if there would be a blizzard that would kill half the tribe.
Today we get very accurate predictions up to a week in advance when actual storm systems are approaching because we have god-like eyes in space that can see the goddamn clouds FROM ABOVE.
We are Gods incarnate, we can see into the future with magic in space. If the storm dumps more rain than expected, wow great... nature still is complicated, you still knew a storm was coming!
That spiel is funnier if you also read it in Lewis Black's tone.
To be fair, weather predictions have gotten much more accurate in the past 20 years or so (however, whether that stays true now that things like the National Weather Service and NOAA have been defunded remains to be seen).
Omg I choked on some toothpaste. Thanks. Have your up vote.

It depends on which type of physicist. If they are a particle physicist 3cm is a whole lot
As a microbiologist, 3 cm is like the next county over. The particle physicist gets to add a few orders of magnitude to that.

There is a comic that does this perfectaly, but I can't find it right now. Something something post an incorrect fact to the internet, and other will gladly correct you.
This one?
