That’s great except I have been told by my boss and my boss’s boss that me looking like a shlub gives me more technical credibility.

I’m not old you’re old.

My dad wore a dress shirt and tie to work.

I wear pajama pants and a t shirt. And sometimes just the shirt.

So I iron a lot less.

I’ve done that before when I’m in a hurry, but this was actually people waiting for that initial left turn.

Also this was back before smart phones, so things may have changed. Culture evolves.

One insight was the different behavior when a light turned green with someone at the front making a left turn.

Where I grew up that person would just have to wait, but in the city where I went to college they’d let one car turn left before opposing traffic started.

My least favorite one is ancient aliens, because it is both inspired by Carl Sagan and inspired a ton of sci fi especially Stargate, but it’s also just white supremacy with extra steps.

I’m so conflicted.

Good news is you can pay like $30 and download all of them as PDFs and just print what you need rather than getting a whole book greasy

YouTube University mainly. Plus getting the service manuals for my cars.

With these I managed a turbo swap in my garage. Brake pads (which it sounds like you need) are waaaay easier.

I trim my beard about once a month.

I haven’t had a haircut in about a decade.
