Not exactly the same thing but it reminds me of a particular genre of nasa engineering ghost stories
![A more recent example of this problem came closer to causing a disaster. At 12:12 GMT 13 May 2008, a space shuttle was loading its hypergolic fuel for mission STS-124 when a 3-1 disagreement occurred among its GPCs (GPC 4 disagreed with the other GPCs). Three seconds later, the split became 2-1-1 (GPC 2 now disagreed with GPC 4 and the other two GPCs). This required that the launch countdown be stopped. During the subsequent troubleshooting, the remaining two GPCs disagreed (1-1-1-1 split). See the reports given in [2] and [3]. This was a complete system disagreement. However, none of the GPCs were faulty. The fault was in the FA 2 MDM. This fault was a crack in a diode. The photomicrographs in figure 2 show two views of this diode, rotated 90 degrees. The dark wavy line pointed to by the red arrows is the crack. The current flow through diode is normally left to right through the material shown in these pictures. This means that the crack was perpendicular to the normal current flow and completely through the current path. As a crack opened up, it changed the diode into another type of component ... a capacitor. This transformation is illustrated in figure 3.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:epkxd6zs3er2chtgvva22wsj/bafkreifihcqu57eha2iyvdtk4h2punsragoxfyn7stnlc3b45ibmvlsi7a)

general rule of thumb: don’t continue MRSA coverage >48 hours unless there is *some* objective data of MRSA (eg positive PCR, positive culture, gram stain with GPCs and culture pending). #EMIMCC

gram negative rods *rarely* cause blood culture contamination
so a single blood culture growing gram-negative rods should generally be regarded as real & treated as such
(this is *unlike* GPCs, where one culture is often a false-positive due to skin organisms like coag neg staph) #EMIMCC

Asking civil servants to reapply for access to GPCs risks/guarantees wasting time on a bureaucratic process for very little saving. Which is close to an open admission of not understanding what government time is worth.

From what I've seen they're actively actioning zeroing out all the civilian GPCs, but are apparently just kind of pretending the EO didn't explicitly mention GTCs also and are trusting everyone to just do their own personal YOLO interpretation of what "mission essential" travel is

증기기관차의 열효율은 구 일본국철이 언급하기로는 6% 정도로, 디젤기관차 20%, 전기기관차 26%에 비하면 정말 터무니없이 낮은 편이죠. 요즘은 전력소자기술 발전 덕에 더 많이 끌어올려지긴 할겁니다마는.
그래서 증기기관차는 실용적 기계라고 할 수 없는 수준이 된거고... 그 ACE3000에서 이야기되던 유동상연소+가스생성연소방식(GPCS)+스팀일렉 등등을 발라도 아마 내연기관보다 효율적이기 어려울겁니다.
사실 상치식 증기터빈을 돌려서 전기를 공급하는게 일종의 증기기관 구동이라고 우길수는 있을수 있겠습니다만.
