Probleme la pornire și nu numai

Bine formulat:

Oare pietonul român e invincibil, sau doar inconștient?

 Semnele alea ar trebui puse la nivelul capului, sa dai cu fața in ele daca te arunci pe trecere fara sa te uiti pe unde mergi.

Of, nici Playboy nu va mai fi ce-a fost...

Hugh Hefner dead rumors not true. That's just how the girls describe him in bed.

Nobody is ever going to say "He's in a better place now"

Stai sa se instaleze rigor mortis intr-un anumit loc din zona inghinala. Isi vor retrage fetele cele spuse

Nu cred ca le ajuta prea mult daca moare.
In locul lui va veni alt........"maciucos".

Pe de alta parte sunt de acord ca fetele trebuie sa fie in forma

Clar, pentru 10aniSCR avem nevoie de un teaser asemanator

Patania asta imi aduce aminte de un curs la care am participat "Analytical Troubleshooting". Un dintre metodele ce ne-a fost predata pentru investigarea problemelor a fost cautarea diferentelor dintre situatiile/conjuncturile cand se intampla si cand nu se intampla. Exact cum spune si toma:

Lucruri din astea care sa fie comune in cazurile in care nu a pornit si diferite de cele in care a pornit...

Si ca provocare, instructorul ne-a dat urmatorul caz:
Un american, locuind intr-un ansamblu rezidential de case, se duce in fiecare seara la supermarket-ul aflat la cativa kilometri, sa cumpere produse proaspete pentru micul dejun de a doua zi. Parcheaza masina in fata magazinului (gaseste mereu acelasi loc liber ), intra in magazin, culege din rafturi de fiecare data aceleasi produse preferate, plateste, merge la masina, "da o cheie" si pleaca. In unele seri, copii il roaga sa le cumpere o cutie de inghetata si el adauga la cumparaturi produsul cerut. Tocmai in acele seri tipul trebuie "sa dea doua chei" ca porneasca motorul. Mereu!
Intrebarea instructorului a fost "De ce masina nu porneste la prima cheie in zilele cand omu' cumpara inghetata?"
Rolul nostru a fost sa investigam cazul ca sa aflam ce facea diferenta intre a porni motorul la prima chei, sau doar la a doua.
N-am sa va cer rezolvarea (pe care nici noi cursantii n-am gasit-o), ci va spun ipoteza la care ar fi urmat sa ajungem: motorul porneste un pic mai greu atunci cand este rece. Cand cumpara inghetata, omu' petrecea cateva minute in plus in magazin, suficient ca motorul sa se raceasca sub limita la care porneste din prima.
Cazul este ipotetic&didactic si in mod intentionat lipsesc unele detalii pe care trebuia sa le aflam punand intrebari. Dar de cele mai multe ori asa este si in viata reala - cei care relateaza o problema omit detalii irelevante pentru ei dar hotaratoare pentru diagnosticarea corecta. De exemplu, daca ni s-ar fi spus ca dimineata motorul porneste doar la a doua cheie, am fi intuit (poate) ca motorul are o problema la rece.

povestea e prezenta in multe cursuri asemanatoare celui amintit de tine...  nu mai tin minte exact cand, dar m-am intalnit si eu cu el 

cica pleaca de la un caz real la Pontiac.... acum daca e adevarat sau nu...

A complaint was received by the Pontiac Division of General Motors:

"This is the second time I have written you, and I don't blame you for not answering me, because I kind of sounded crazy, but it is a fact that we have a tradition in our family of ice cream for dessert after dinner each night. But the kind of ice cream varies so, every night, after we've eaten, the whole family votes on which kind of ice cream we should have and I drive down to the store to get it. It's also a fact that I recently purchased a new Pontiac and since then my trips to the store have created a problem. You see, every time I buy vanilla ice cream, when I start back from the store my car won't start. If I get any other kind of ice cream, the car starts just fine. I want you to know I'm serious about this question, no matter
how silly it sounds: 'What is there about a Pontiac that makes it not start when I get vanilla ice cream, and easy to start whenever I get any other kind?'"

The Pontiac President was understandably skeptical about the letter, but sent an engineer to check it out anyway. The latter was surprised to be greeted by a successful, obviously well educated man in a fine neighborhood. He had arranged to meet the man just after dinner time, so the two hopped into the car and drove to the ice cream store. It was vanilla ice cream that night and, sure enough, after they came back to the car, it wouldn't start.

The engineer returned for three more nights. The first night, the man got chocolate. The car started. The second night, he got strawberry. The car started. The third night he ordered vanilla. The car failed to start.

Now the engineer, being a logical man, refused to believe that this man's car was allergic to vanilla ice cream. He arranged, therefore, to continue his visits for as long as it took to solve the problem. And toward this end he began to take notes: he jotted down all sorts of data, time of day, type of gas used, time to drive back and forth, etc.

In a short time, he had a clue: the man took less time to buy vanilla than any other flavor. Why? The answer was in the layout of the store.

Vanilla, being the most popular flavor, was in a separate case at the front of the store for quick pickup. All the other flavors were kept in the back of the store at a different counter where it took considerably longer to find the flavor and get checked out.

Now the question for the engineer was why the car wouldn't start when it took less time. Once time became the problem -- not the vanilla ice cream -- the engineer quickly came up with the answer: vapor lock. It was happening every night, but the extra time taken to get the other flavors allowed the engine to cool down sufficiently to start. When the man got vanilla, the engine was still too hot for the vapor lock to dissipate.

Moral of the story: Even insane looking problems are sometimes real.

Buna povestea.

Mie "analytical troubleshooting" mi-a ocupat multa vreme cam tot timpul la serviciu asa ca am ajuns sa aplic tipul asta de rationament si problemelor care nu tin de domeniul meu de competenta...

Instructorul nostru (care de fapt era o instructoare, o englezoaica) ne-a spus ca exact acelasi curs l-a prezentat si unor echipe de medici si a fost primit foarte bine.
