Yes, both his and mine.

Going to the "friendly" midwest, for example, and they're all clam-shell closed. Not only about conversing with strangers, but as I found out, if you didn't to to school with them or are a "church friend", they really didn't want to have anything to do with you. A smile. A "Hi, how ya' doin'", but they really hope you'll not say anything and don't make eye contact.
I also missed the street vendors in NYC. So - I thought I couldn't wait to leave (way back then) until I realized I couldn't wait to move back.
* NYC - actually, all five boroughs (=counties, parishes, etc.), not just Manhattan.

Hi All,
Thought I would share the JOY! One the growing pile of tasks I have I intended to spend the day designing a test rig for one of products. It has to IP routers in it which need to be pinged to show they are there and answering. First spin, two laptops running PuTTy & Oscilloscope having to read values. Quick C# app to interface to the scope via USB, set up, read, change settings, read again. Spend about 10 Mins thinking & hunting through draws to find a RiPi 3 and fiddle with Python and sorted. I like days like this...

Nice.
Not sure about this bit though:

Python, I am far from an expert, however you seem to be able to do a couple things with ease. It's like C++ I get the feeling that it does more than I am aware of.

No that's not a typo, Cameyo is a bit like Docker but the nice thing is that you can also package Windows Forms applications with it, ideal for testing.
Also the packager is free to use for up to 50 users, tried it on Windows 10 with a .NET application and it was dead simple.

Don't worry- I have the batteries charged and will go flying with the helicopter after work. It can easily carry this little passenger.

Just so you know, I am stealing this excuse and using it at my next doctor's visit.

Yeah, well... Not to brag, but I've got one of those metabolisms where I can eat anything I want and still get fat!

Any metabolism that goes unfed will cannibalize on the body.
Cannibalism is forbidden in modern countries.

Nothing. It is really dorsey (in my head this is a clever pun for dorky).
But why is dorsey used here?[^]

No, man. Maybe you just need to get .... LinkedIn .... and you'll know.
I'll show myself out...

LinkedIn...
The day I have no choice but to create an account on there for prospect employers to look me up is the day I retire.
Surely I can keep pulling this off for another decade...
