That caught my eye, too. I'm too old to do timber-frame construction anymore, though.nolaegghead said:

I have similar feelings about Thermodynamics (and no idea what statistical mechanics even is...).

I actually learned a lot from thermo that I tell myself applies to Q. Something about the heat transfer.
Of course, I may be thermalizing hot smoke on a Sunday night.

Thermo and hydrodynamics were two of my better subjects while taking the Fundamentals of Engineering exam. Hydro when taking the PE.

Thermodynamics, Metallurgy, and Modern Physics completely baffled me in school (although I was able to pass them). Heat Transfer, Classical Physics, Fluid Mechanics, Statics, and Dynamics were cake, and I absolutely enjoyed Machine Design.
Sadly, the Air Force assigned me to jobs wherein I had to explain "85% Reliability with a 30% Confidence" to a three-star with a BS in Physical Education (actually happened) using PowerPointless and my poor public speaking skills.

On the physics of depleted-uranium 30-mil and tank armor:

Kind've a long read, but the video includes a walk-around of some of the Warthog's subsystems. Brought back some memories: as a new engineer back in the 80's I ran the MTTR (Mean Time-to-Repair) tests for the HUD (Head's-up Display) in the cockpit; as a Reservist I spent a week at Davis-Monthan AFB (Tucson) installing mods in a bunch of the AGM-65 Maverick missiles, and spent another near-week of 14-hour days doing an ammo inspection of those 30-mils. The ammo cans were over 70 lbs apiece, and we had to lift them onto tables, remove every round and inspect, repackage, and place back onto the pallets; that damn near killed me, and to this day I still get an occasional sharp pain between my left shoulder and the center of my neck; it was a younger man's game for me at that point. Good Times.

July 29, 1958, President Eisenhower signed the National Aeronautics and Space Act.
"The enactment of this legislation is an historic step, further equipping the United States for leadership in the space age," Eisenhower said in a written statement issued at the White House. "I wish to commend the Congress for the promptness with which it has created the organization and provided the authority needed for an effective national effort in the fields of aeronautics and space exploration."
In our day, the most remarkable aspect of this story may be the part where a president of one political party commends a Congress controlled by another party for its prompt action. But I'm thinking this morning of another illustration of government competence, one brought about by the simplest example of a bureaucrat's ingenuity.
One of the architects of the legislation creating NASA was Paul G. Dembling, who at the time of Sputnik was general counsel for the forerunner agency known as the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics (NACA). On the occasion of NASA's 50thanniversary, Dembling reminisced about the agency's founding. His recollections added to the historical record, while serving as a reminder of NASA's heady early days.
One of his favorite memories concerned the media coverage of Apollo 8. On Christmas Eve of that 1968 flight orbiting the moon, Frank Borman and his crew read aloud -- in transmissions sent back to Earth -- the first 10 chapters of the book of Genesis.
"We are now approaching lunar sunrise, and for all the people back on Earth, the crew of Apollo 8 has a message that we would like to send to you," astronaut Bill Anders began. "In the beginning, God created Heaven and Earth…"
That night, Dembling recalled, a NASA public relations official at Cape Canaveral received a call from a Japanese reporter.
"We heard they read something," the reporter said. "Can we get a transcript?"
"Where are you calling from?" asked the NASA press aide.
"From my hotel," came the reply.
"Open the drawer," said the NASA official, "and you will find a book -- and the words are there."
"Ah," the impressed foreign correspondent replied. "NASA thinks of everything!"
