In your past self's defence, the cool, twiddly nobby thing is VERY cool.

It's not relevant to anything I do for a living (I don't even work in IT), but I suddenly want one on my desk at work so that I can claim it's giving the 'wrong readout' whenever someone asks me to do something I think is daft.

@DarkSheepArts @tracketpacer everyone who does any kind of engineering needs a scope.
They're useful
They're great conversation starters in video/irl meetings
They got shelf cred
They're a decor necessity in any *punk utopia/dystopia we're heading to

That tracks.

I work in a museum, looking after the exhibits, but since nobody really understands my job, it is 100% not out of the question that if someone asked me to do something I could twiddle the knob to make it make an 'oooo' sound, and then say "sorry, that could destabilise the humidity" and they AT LEAST have to take it semi-seriously.

There's a Romanian phrase "Ştiu Nu Ştiu" that means "I know I don't know" and I find that incredibly liberating!

It also happens to be a Swedish metal band so there's a cherry on top as well 😄

Ştiu Nu Ştiu

There is no right, there is no wrong. Everything has to do with everything. You are not going to figure it out. When you die other people will start where you started, not where you left off. It will not be fair. You Are Not Special. This is what we do when you losers make love.
