We do stuff with HE and Tungsten. Wanna see something pretty cool?
What do you guys do at work?
- Thread starter little_scrapper
- Start date
Definitely nothing that cool... But I do lose lots of time at work viewing stuff like this on Snipershide.
I'm self-employed, so... just means I work later to make up for it.

Classified Im sure but I will check. Ever see the steerable 50 cal? Yep, you guessed it.
Teledyny. Phht they couldn't pull it off and farmed it out to us. Also, I think that is roughly a mile shot judging by flight time?

Hi,
Except the Exacto project was closed and pretty much marked as a 'No Go" in regards to progression for a few different reasons.
1. It did not really offer any improvement at further distances due to its trans/sub sonic flaws.
2. Cannot really be discussed publicly, lol....but everyone was "read' out of the Exacto program.
Sincerely,
Theis

I don't do anything that cool. But we pressurize food products to 87,000psi and kill virus and bacteria so that's neat.
Correct on all points. However, it is still pretty cool and can be discussed in so far as what has already been released for public consumption.

I work in hydraulics repair now (You haven't lived until you see a 1/2" wall 7" bore cylinder fail under full load. Hydraulic fluid tastes nasty!) Before that there were parts for F-22s, BUFFs, F-16s, etc. and a gig where I did lots of parts for the 4 letter national laboratories. When a physicist from LANL starts telling what the parts you made go on your ears prick up! "A beryllium cloud? What the hell ?!?" Pretty sure that should have been a "Now I have to kill you" conversation. 
I feel like I am a babysitter / kindergarten teacher most days
I work in the Information Technology Department in a fairly large corporation
I am not sure who the bigger babies are, my employees or the user base that we provide support for
Both are constantly crying all day long, mostly due to their own stupidity and/or laziness

I take stuff apart for fun. The boss makes me put it back together for money.
Yawn...ever been shot at by an pkm while crossing the street and had two Russian 81s land so close you could taste the explosive in the air? Ya me neither lol
@buffalowinter too legit killer too legit.
Retired ... Well, not really. Just working under new management.
Thank you,

Nope, I was way too smart to join the military. And way too selfish to risk my life intentionally. lol
We have a word for that in the army lol....
Just when I feel fulfilled in my work everybody gotta post up their cool shit leaving me with feelings of inadequacy and despair.
Sorry, holiday shopping has me cutting back in other areas. Therapy sessions will be conducted in the pit temporarily.
Still sorting out hydrocarbons for nearly a decade now. Texas hasn’t ran out yet. The lawyers say we shouldn’t post pics and divulge info. Bunch of squares IMO.
The other half of the job is navigating the mine field of back stabbing assholes just trying to stay in a job that actually pays and supports a family.
The rest of the time I read stuff here and mostly keep comments to myself like my parents taught. Helps out sometimes when dealing with the previous paragraph.

Not all of us are old enough to retire. As in, I could be your son. Especially if you need an yard Nazi to leave that lawn to.........
So you do IT in healthcare and answer the phone when Drs cant make stuff work right? ?
That's pretty neat. Is that rocket propelled or a tracer? Do the fins actively steer the projectile? Are men in black helicopters going to show up because I asked these questions?
To answer the rhetorical question, I work in a sweatshop stacking cases of cookbooks and trashy novels. Definitely not nearly as fulfilling.

taking shit from your boss stinks no matter what form it comes
Chase broke down state equipment and trucks.
so good days some bad days.

I take little pieces of metal out of bigger pieces of metal to make parts for the hot side of small jet engines. Some of which eventually intentionally go boom.
I control lightning to precisely liquify metal
Inquiring minds want to know. And don't worry, Im way too smart and way too selfish to feel bad about anything you call me/that. Hehe.

Mostly we would call you a Penistucker with a few other acceptable variations ?
And don't worry I wasnt worried about your feelings
I give free breast examinations ! Non profit organization!
When I worked i was a machinist. Now i am retired and do a lot of nothing
Semi retired, "working" security at a well known whisky distillery in Tennessee.
I kick my feet up on a desk and watch Netflix for 12 hours a night, 14 days a month for a pretty hefty sum of money.
To get to this point I climbed a shit ton of derricks, pulled an ass ton of pipe, worked in the shittiest conditions known to man with no regard for my personal safety to prove my back was strong enough to get paid for my brain lmfao.
AKA I run a Cryogenics Plant for Marathon Petroleum.

You ever have three Russian hookers fight over you at three am at a Chucky Cheese because you left your keys for the pinto on the counter after you held the place up at gunpoint for a can of Four Lokko and a cheese pizza, all because you left your wallet at the Tokyo “massage” from the night before?
Me either, but a man can dream, right?

I manufacture, repair and service diesel generators.
Mainly smaller generators in mobile applications.
Zero glamour - but steady.

I lust after Jamie, the hot blonde woman, who works next to me.
I design Aircraft Rescue Fire Fighting (ARFF) trucks.
