he's telling me about this "dumb workaround" he figured out for one of his projects (he does CNC machining for fun, because i am descended from *nerds*), and i'm like, "listen, if it's stupid and it works, it's not stupid" and he *LOST HIS MIND* laughing

my guy. dad. padre. what sort of engineers have you spent your *entire professional life* around that you haven't heard that before

my retired computer engineer father somehow never heard the phrase "if it's stupid and it works, it's not stupid" before i told him that yesterday and now i wanna know what sort of engineers he was hanging around with all these years

Accidentally faraday-caged my work laptop's wifi card in the middle of a meeting  

turns out when you're messing around with metal embossing in your free time and just pile your random art crap from the night before on your closed laptop, you *might* accidentally cover your wifi card in aluminum and block most - but not all - radio waves from reaching it 

i'm not trying to parent shame or babysitter shame or anything here, i just. i genuinely don't think i'm doing anything special here but *consistently* i get people telling me i'm *amazing* with their kids, they're *shocked* how good i am with children, and like. i talk to 'em, that's all.
