It gives a nice glimpse into the tradoffs of engineering, cost, and serviceability in the face of an enormously well marketed product.
I've met a number of people with similar character, down to the accent and jargon.
While no group is perfect, I do appreciate the characteristic straightforwardness. You usually know exactly where you stand with somebody like this.
They're both happy-go-lucky with a sprinkle of resignation. I didn't know what AvE did for work and was curious what kind of career would require someone to know so much. I imagine now, from what you said, he must be the guy who keeps all the tools working.
They are both incredibly confident and self-assured. AvE can fix anything and Buckin' Billy Ray can cut down anything.
I see what you mean too. I trust both of them. I know they will do a good job and that's critical in their line of work, because if they don't, someone might die.
