This reminds me of a story I read once about some airline that was well regarded for its adept mechanic/technician workforce. They would have sassy inspection notes like
Pilot: Front left tire almost needs replacing Mechanic: Almost replaced front left tire.
Also, with regards to formatting, a manual line end, without the blank line in between, like a HTML tag <br />, is achieved by having two spaces just before the line break.
Like this.
This reminds me of a story I read once about some airline that was well regarded for its adept mechanic/technician workforce. They would have sassy inspection notes like
Pilot: Front left tire almost needs replacingMechanic: Almost replaced front left tire.I remember seeing something like that years ago. A few more that popped to my memory just now:
PILOT: autopilot altitude hold has a 100 ft/min descent.
MECHANIC: cannot reproduce issue on ground.
PILOT: evidence of tyre leak in left main landing gear.
MECHANIC: evidence removed.
PILOT: [system] behaves funny.
MECHANIC: [system] has been firmly told to get their shit together and straighten up their act.
PILOT: strange sounds behind console. Sounds like a midget beating things with a hammer.
MECHANIC: hammer taken from midget
There was something about the speaker being at an unbelievable volume as well?
If I’m remembering right it was:
PILOT: Headset volume is unbelievably loud.
MECHANIC: Headset volume has been set to a more believable level.
A few more I remember from way back when:
PILOT: Mouse found in cockpit.
MECHANIC: Cat installed.
PILOT: Something loose in cockpit
Mechanic: Something tightened in cockpit
PILOT: Friction locks cause throttle to stick.
MECHANIC: Good, they’re supposed to.
(How did you get a new line without a blank line between them??? Formatting shouldn’t be this hard.)
PILOT: dead bugs on windshield.
MECHANIC: live bugs on back order.
PILOT: suspect crack in windshield.
MECHANIC: suspect you’re right.
PILOT: number 3 engine missing.
MECHANIC: Engine found on right wing after brief search.
On another note, I found a version closer to The Source:

Also, with regards to formatting, a manual line end, without the blank line in between, like a HTML tag
<br />, is achieved by having two spaces just before the line break.Like this.
Why is that, though? Why not line break where I’ve entered a line break?
Two spaces can be a pain on mobile
Heck if I know.
