How many aspies does it take to...

[Nitro]

Yes indeed, we have a lightbulb to change !!

I would go to Red Alert but that would mean changing another light bulb

good call...

 

[SyAn]

One aspie to create a colour-coded list of participants in the project 'Change a Lightbulb', including their respective solution proposals, classified and presented as a pie chart.

 

[StephF]

One aspie to create a hierarchical management chart annotated with which aspie is responsible for which task

 

[zurb]

One aspie to create a colour-coded list of participants in the project 'Change a Lightbulb', including their respective solution proposals, classified and presented as a pie chart.

One aspie to argue that a pie chart is inappropriate in this case and a stacked histogram would be much clearer.

The kinetic force generated by a horse exploding may very well cause particular lightbulbs to fail.
There is no way to be sure when said horse would burst, to many variables, unless we intentionally blow it up ourselves.
Also, CH4 has a negative influence on the atmosphere, surely we can come up with a more environmental friendly solution.

Omg! You would bring statistics into this crap! (Very ingenious)

I believe a dot plot or a bar graph would be better.

I recently was calculating a problem involving a circle and an associate kept telling me to use pi R squared as part of the equation...I stopped to correct him,explaining that using his formula was certain to come up with an incorrect set of numbers...
anybody know that pie R round,cake R squared

zurb...gonna need that dead horse soon to begin shakedown testing of the methane handling apparatus
I will need one more aspie that can smell to check it for leaks as I no longer have olfactory function myself...

I could not find any stainless steel fittings quick enough so I substituted brass until the new parts arrive in a few days...it should hold up for a test,but I suspect that oxidation will take a toll on it if we use it in the final design...
The testing will require the use of a team of aspies to observe,gather data,comment,wonder and use up time being side tracked...
I recommend adding 25 more aspies to the list just for that,unless you think it should be put in front of a aspie board of directors to come up with better numbers to efficiently use our aspies and waste less time...
Having a board of directors might be a waste of valuable aspie resources that might better serve us in other highly important ocd interest areas such as cleaning up an exploding horse should the occasion arise from initial calculations being skewed by the use of a calculator that came free in the mail and was kept because it was solar powered and not a battery hog

did I miss anything?

Yeah. The Aspie Board of Directors need an NT President.......

A very Grumpy NT President.

And me and my friend Julia are used to cleaning up crap being NT nurses. Don't worry, Nitro, we can surely clean up an exploded horse or two (no different than explosive diarrhea if you ask me!)

I think I was employed by the President at another point in time...

You neglected to mention that on your resume...high velocity projectile vomit cleaning skills may suffice as well,but I will need a reference or two from both of you to present to the board concerning that matter...

One aspie to randomly out of no where say that he remembers a joke about a panda who walks into a pub and orders a pie. After eating the pie, he shoots the bartender and walks out. When the police eventually catch him they ask him why he did it. He simply says to look in the dictionary. So they find a dictionary...

Panda: Black and white animal from China. Eats shoots and leaves.

what kind of pie? and did he get it a la mode

 

[zurb]

I think it was a steak and cheese pie, which when I was a kid was squared, but rounded four places (being the corners).

oh my god!...a cheese steak squircle pie...it has been so long since I had one...mmmm quite tasty in fact and cooks so much differently
I can only hope it was rib eye with extra sharp cheddar...
Can it be ordered rare at that pub? or did they quit serving bloody things at the bar...
I hope the new bartender is a hottie...the last one turned kinda cold suddenly and without much warning

 

[SyAn]

One aspie with a torch to come along to the pub - just in case the pub also has a lightbulb issue . . .

 

[Nitro]

One aspie with a torch to come along to the pub - just in case the pub also has a lightbulb issue . . .

I have been in pubs during power failures...dark at first until they broke out the candles
another aspie to discuss flashlights
one to talk batteries
another to remember that the torch did in fact had a bulb and it could burn out too and create another dilemma
one more to announce that his MagLite had a spare bulb in the battery compartment that would help solve the dilemma
one to ask if his pie was done yet

 

[zurb]

One more aspie to begin a monologue for anyone willing to show the least bit of attention on the differences between cells and batteries, and the importance of using the correct term.

 

[Nitro]

one to discuss electrical resistance in wire,filaments and associated loss thru heat,distance and wire size
another to cite Ohm's law
another to whip out his smartphone and use an Ohm's law calculator app
one more to brag about having two oscilloscope applications on his phone he backed up with his lab scope and two digital sampling scopes because everything must be perfect in his world.
two aspies to get into an apple/android phone debate

You have just described the kind of thing that would happen in my office!

But then, I do work in an IT department!

 

[ASD_Geek]

One aspie to come along, look up at the burned out light and instead of replacing it, decide to install a ceiling fan with a light fixture. Now, we'll have a new light and get to watch the fan spin.
