    Doing tests for work. Three tests about torquing fasteners. :confused:
    Look at this nonsense:

    Why is needing to know Hooke’s law necessary in automobile repair? Just give a torque value instead of some formula with a bunch of assumptions…

    Just did my insurance CEs today. Why do I need to know about money laundering? Ridiculous

    There are also questions where I have to use math and a calculator. I work on cars so I don't have to do math. :annoyed:

    I suppose it depends on how it was discussed. Was it given like “How to launder money in 10 easy steps” or money laundering will get you in jail.

    It all falls back to F=MxA

    First test I failed three times. Second one, 2 times and I said, that's enough for today. You just keep taking it over and over until you get a passing score. The questions change each
    attempt. I see what something is supposed to be torqued to and that's what I torque it to. Why we need to learn all this other stuff is beyond me.
