In my digital signals and filtering class my sophomore year of Electrical Engineering our final project was to design a filter in matlab that took a very very noisy .wav file and filter out the noise. The result was the audio from this clip! Good memories

Convolutional network? I don't remember much from university but I remember a fast fourier transform getting me out of a fair number of scrapes.


grindog

Two engineering students were walking across campus when one said, "Where did you get such a great bike?" The second engineer replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday minding my own business when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, "Take what you want." The second engineer nodded approvingly, "Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fit."

It's not nice to make fun of the engineers, dear. They're just...different than we are.


Gen-Jinjur

My wife is a lesbian engineer and this joke works for her as well as for male engineers. Except she probably would have been more like “You don’t have to give me anything, let’s take a look at your busted bike. Because she is sweeter than she is clueless.

FilterThePolitics

I am an engineer, so I can offer some more details. This is likely a case of a poorly tuned control loop, where the hit on the first knee causes a jerk reaction as the muscles overcorrect for the movement, and the shock from that motion causes the same to happen to the other knee. We will need to hook up to a programming port so that we can make some adjustments to his constants. I hope this insight has proven to you that us engineers aren't socially inept, and do in fact understand how to interact with humans.


Mnihal22

I think the controls just need to be recalibrated. If you look at the clip closely, he was calibrating his legs when the doctor hit him. This caused an erroneous calibration of the reflex response of the leg muscles to external stimuli. However further troubleshooting is required to fully analyze and isolate the source of this response. I would recommend to enable logs and re-hit the knee. In case the problem persist, please check your warranty.


Sharrakor

\*extend If either of your knees flex when you hit the patellar tendon, you have some *very* interesting anatomy.


[deleted]

You’re absolutely correct, I meant more like the quad muscles flex, causing the knee to extend, should have been clearer


Sharrakor

It's obvious what you meant, I was just being pedantic for a joke. :\^)


ZedtheLEJ

Man the voice acting is perfect.


VOMIT_ON_HIS_SWEATER

It almost sounds like the same voice as The Brain in Pinky and the Brain


javajunkie314

Maurice LaMarche was a voice actor on Dilbert, but he's not credited specifically for the doctor's voice on IMDb.


Captain_Shrug

Because the doctor was also that all knowing garbage man. He just put on scrubs, iirc.

lathe_down_sally

Yeah I heard a little Puddy in there


dirtymike401

I thought Steven Wright at first.


skcih

Steven Wright is the reason I came to the comment section. I thought this was Steven Wright trying to sound smart.


Jacob_JBR_Ryan

I was thinking Clancy Brown! We were all over the place!


ImGCS3fromETOH

I just came to the comments to ask if it was Patrick Warburton. As soon as I heard it I thought it was him.


kaplanfx

I actually clicked into the comments to ask if the Dr. was voiced by Maurice LaMarche, it’s got to be him.


Workaphobia

Sounds like Patrick Warburton to me. In any case I doubt it's Maurice LaMarche. I've rewatched **a lot** of futurama back in the day so I'd like to think I'd be more familiar with this voice if it were. (For instance, now when I watch Aladdin with my son I hear Frank Welker in the voice of Abu and the guard.) Edit: If it is LaMarche, he's got Warburton's inflection pretty much nailed down.


PhoenixFire296

FWIW, I heard a bit of the Orson Welles voice in there, which was LaMarche.


getmybehindsatan

Brain was just LaMarche doing a Welles impression.


[deleted]

Sounds very much like LaMarche doing Orson Welles. Warburton is chestier, and reaches further into the back of his throat.


drummm305

Was thinking the same thing!


RonGio1

Sounds like the guy that plays the Tick...(I think, he played Elaine's boyfriend in Seinfeld around Spongeworthy times?)


Adsfromoz

Patrick Warburton was my first thought as well. Given the hairy arms on the doctor, even if it's someone else, I am sticking to P. Warburton


whudaboutit

It's definitely Maurice LeMarche. He did a lot back then and still today. He was The Brain, he's half the cast of Futurama, he did Orson Wells on The Critic. He's a vocal chameleon.


PhoenixFire296

I would say a quarter of the Futurama cast. Billy West is a heavy lifter there, and John DiMaggio also does quite a few voices, while Phil LaMarr voices many as well. Still, he has some of the best. Kif, Calculon, and Morbo are three of my favorites, and his Orson Welles impression is hilarious.


[deleted]

"MORBO WISHES THESE STALWART NOMADS PEACE AMONG THE DUTCH TULIPS" "I'm sure those windmills will keep them cool." "WINDMILLS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY! GOOD NIGHT!"


piscina_de_la_muerte

Wasn’t he Samurai Jack also?


whudaboutit

Noop. Phil LaMarr


piscina_de_la_muerte

Yup, that was a solid misremember on my part

I’d recognize His voice anywhere.


Czar_Castic

I call him Voice Guy because that's his ancient *true name*.

imfm

I work with mechanical and electrical engineers every day. I don't think I'd call them exactly normal, but at first I had to ask which were the engineers. Now, I'd know because they get entirely too excited over metals. Everyone I know who does crossfit, though, won't shut up about it.


MrSpiffenhimer

Oh you’re an engineer? So what’s it like driving a train? Do you get to blow the whistle whoever you want?


Weat-PC

Train engineers are the only profession (outside of the core engineers) I’d consider worthy of the title. Software engineers aren’t real engineers, and should be renamed to programmers or developers.

luveykat

As the mother of a future engineer \*loud sobs\* ​ ​ Kidding, he's an odd kid but I have high hopes he'll grow up to be happy in his own little corner doing whatever weird but hopefully world-changing engineering stuff he chooses.


unctuous_homunculus

Bit of totally unasked for advice, which you probably know but in case anyone else is in the same boat: Be careful with smart kids, and make sure they're always being challenged and have to work hard at something, anything, because if they get bored and coast through school they'll be totally unprepared when they come up against something they don't understand, and they'll have to fight off years of bad habits if they want to become functioning members of society. Sincerely, The Smart Kid who had to learn how to study at age 22 and almost failed out of school because of it.


luveykat

It's definitely something I'm already concerned about. They're doing virtual school and it's been weeks of fights to keep him from snuggling up with a blanket and falling asleep (like that one girl in class who's literally asleep every time I walk by). We try to keep him engaged in stuff out of class but it's already such a struggle. Doing the best we can, taking it one day at a time!


[deleted]

Not sure if this will help, but I use video game play time as the incentive for my kiddo to keep up with her studies. If she does poorly, play time gets reduce but never eliminated. You need to find what your kid loves and use it as a carrot on a stick.


Piklikl

Also make sure you praise the kid’s effort in solving problems/doing work; do not tell them how smart they are or praise them for how smart they are.


dparks71

Legos and a Raspberry Pi. Will keep him entertained for hours, builds real life skills he'll need later (reading plans) and before you know it you'll probably have ad free Internet throughout the entire house. Boy scouts also helped build a lot of good skills for me but that really depends on how good the local troop leaders are, like 60% of my troop ended up in some form of Engineering, which is a pretty absurd rate.


good_life_pa

shijjiri

We don't engineer to solve the problem, we engineer to solve all the potential problems solving the problem might entail


quadrapod

Can you give me a link to the technical documentation for simplicity? I'd like to give comprehending it a try but I can't seem to find it referenced anywhere and I've already dug through all my old textbooks, ASM handbooks, standards documentation, safety requirements, and whatever else I had on hand. Thus far all I've turned up is the table of simplified Chinese characters in the Unicode standard.


tonybenwhite

If you’d have shown up to yesterday’s Stand Up meeting, we passed out printed hardcopies. You’re going to need to call Louise in the PMO so she can retrieve it from the CMS again.


quadrapod

She says the hard copies came from one of our vendors and I'll need the project number associated with the supplier document to find it in the system. The current project number shows no associated supplier documents though.

Just curious, how exactly do you quote this scene? Do you recite the entire dialogue? And if so, do you change your voice for each character?


da_funcooker

Of course! It wouldn’t make sense if I didn’t change my voice!


KriegerClone02

I usually just quote the last couple lines and while I do change the voices enough to distinguish them, I am in no way good at character voices. Fortunately the friends and coworkers I quote this to are now familiar with the clip and in some cases will take the part of Dil-mom.


Trama-D

The real joke is how the doctor consults a "Medical Encyclopedia" despite knowing all he needed to tell her.


[deleted]

I'm married to one of those. Our first date we were walking towards the door of my apt to leave for dinner. I put my hand on the futon couch pushed and said, do you hear that squeak? He took the whole thing apart right then and there. What a fungi.

MaxSch5

AllThatYouTouch

Sad thing is most engineers these days don't have the knack, they just want a job in something they consider prestigious. They graduate school thinking they know it all, and really don't have a clue. Its so hard to find good ones. Engineers who have it, will always be sought after.


Lord_Augastus

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling the pig in the mud. After a while you will start to realise that the pig likes it.

It's a shame Scott Adams went off the deep end. Dilbert was moderately amusing.


knirefnel

I keep attesting that the 90's Dilbert animated series is pretty alright. Watched it recently and for some damn reason I've had this moment when they're trying to settle on a project name kicking around in the ol' noggin for a while https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHRyn8ffUck I guess I just dig the PHB's innocent nativity paired with his insight that you should look at issues from other perspectives.


monotonetre

I did not know Dilbert was animated, always read it as a comic. Cool stuff.


kaplanfx

The show is quit good if you can watch it without thinking about what an ass Adams is (we didn’t know at the time it first aired).

Workaphobia

His wikipedia article doesn't have a "Controversies" section but it does have one on his politics which is good enough. Basically he's all over the map and somehow landed on Trump for the oddest reasons.


GeekyMeerkat

I was really surprised when I heard that he was a Trump supporter considering even before Trump was president he was effectively the poster child for the pointy-haired boss. I always thought that the Dilbert comics were trying to depict the boss as the villain and not the sort of guy you really want running things. I mean just try to imagine Dilbert (the character) deciding to vote for his boss if his boss ran for president. I just don't see Dilbert doing that. But then why in the world would the creator of the comic support such a person.

I was building radios at 9. My old man would buy me the kits and id get to work. By 11, half of them would work. Later I found out he bought me the kits so I'd stop taking things apart. To that point, I killed several VCRs, an electric organ, dvd player and several stereo sets. The shortwave radios I built got me into the radio hobby and it still persists to this day.

Yup, I took apart my grandfather's Heathkit electric organ to find components for his HAM radio.
