Invisible planes is good, but my favorite is his take on aircraft carrier catapults.
I said, “You don’t use steam anymore for catapult?” “No sir.” I said, “Ah, how is it working?” “Sir, not good. Not good. Doesn’t have the power. You know the steam is just brutal. You see that sucker going and steam’s going all over the place, there’s planes thrown in the air.”
It sounded bad to me. Digital. They have digital. What is digital? And it’s very complicated, you have to be Albert Einstein to figure it out. And I said—and now they want to buy more aircraft carriers. I said, “What system are you going to be—” “Sir, we’re staying with digital.” I said, “No you’re not. You going to goddamned steam, the digital costs hundreds of millions of dollars more money and it’s no good.”
Yeah that didn't make sense to me either. IMO falling on your face is much more embarrassing than carefully walking down a ramp to avoid falling on your face.
ive always found ramps harder to walk up/down than stairs
yeah i know, boo hoo, poor physically fit young adult might trip on a ramp. and i guess it does probably make more sense to build ramps everywhere possible than to just build separate ramps and stairs everywhere. but god dammit, i like stairs :(
So just ramps? Maybe there's a standard slope that just doesn't work with you for some reason? I'm just speculating cause it's the first I've heard of such a thing.
Yeah, I'm not sure. Maybe the slopes are too shallow. Like my brain's like "I am ascending / descending now, therefore my feet will do the thing they do on stairs" and then it doesnt work because it's not nearly as steep as stairs. idk
if that's the case, then just using ramps more would solve it i guess
So tripping up on stairs is nothing, but if it were a ramp it'd be a bigger deal? :bean-think:
And rambling about corn pop being a bad dude is somehow better than invisible airplanes?
To be fair invisible airplanes was pretty hilarious. Almost as hilarious as cornpop.

Ramps good stair bad cause ableism.
There's some legitimacy here but that's not what they're doing

Ice on ramp = slide n eat shit
How are natural hills for you? I've genuinely never heard of someone having a harder time in an incline than stairs.
Just fine, actually. Never really tripped while hiking, for example.
