For me it’s probably speech therapy and everything pertaining to that. I’m yet to encounter someone on here who is one apart from me (in training).
What about you?
Guitar, maybe. Definitely Pokemon breeding.
Pokémon breeding
Alright then bud, tell me about the genitals of the following Pokémon:
- Magnemite
- Muk
- Haunter
- Ditto
- Porygon
Describe the location, means of genetic exchange and palatation of fluids (if applicable)
Video game programming, because I’ve been doing that for more than 20 years.
Heavy metal and I actually doubt there’s anyone here who’s more of a walking encyclopedia
Skydiving
~4500 jumps that included; night jumps, competition 4-way and 8-way, a couple of record jumps (I was on the a team that set state records in 3 different states back in the day) , Demos into various stadiums, air shows and a couple of NASCAR races.
I might know a thing or two that the average Lemmy user has no idea about.
My cat’s thought process. I can tell when she’s getting annoyed or when she wants to randomly barf. It’s like a spidey sense.
Sound design, mixing, and mastering audio.
Please prove me wrong, I’m so lonely.
How about mixing and mastering on tape? 👀
I hate working in the box
Never had the opportunity, but I love me some nice, warm, tape saturation
I don’t think the average lemming scuba dives as there’s a pretty small scuba community here.
My very specific niche in programming.
If you ask me about some very common things, I have no clue. JavaScript? More like JavaShit amirite? But if someone can explain OCI layers, describe the boot process of a RISC-V device as it leads U-boot and a Linux kernel, and talk about performance optimisations in modern Python… Well, my team is looking for more developers and this combination of skills seems impossible to find.
So cool meeting someone in the CSD field! I did my undergrad in CSD, but went for audiology. I have my AuD and am finishing up a PhD (I also did a MS in neuro, but that was because the classes mostly lined up with the PhD and the tuition was free). I swear, finding people outside of tech on lemmy is rare. Finding someone inside of CSD is even more rare. Now I’m curious if I am going to find any other audiology people…
Actually so big brained. The audio physics is so confusing for me
Haha, I love audio. I used to be an audio engineer. It didn’t pay well so I went back to school with my GI bill and went for audiology. The dual doctorates actually helped bring the cost down at the expense of staying in school longer. As long as you are in the PhD program your tuition is waved and you get paid a stipend for being a TA/RA. So I planned for my GI bill to run out after my first year, then have been on PhD funding since. The only time I have paid tuition for my doctorates has been when I was on my externship. Then for the masters, it is called a “masters along the way” with no thesis required because I am in a PhD program doing a dissertation. And because neuroscience is in the same college as audiology, most of the classes overlap. I only had to take 5 more classes total. So I stacked 2 during covid (plus mt Aud/PhD classes) when everything was online and did 1 extra a semester for 3 semesters after that. Again, the only downfall of the free tuition is I am spending more time in school not making a my salary potential, but at least I have far less debt than my classmates.
Audiology 💀 We have an audiologist/phoniatrician that used to be our school’s medical “lead”, so to speak, that is super knowledgeable when it comes to her field and did a lot of scientific work and research for FEES, but she is such a terrible teacher. Every class she’s taught are traumatised by her teaching, which is such a shame because she knows so much.
We’ve got a couple graduates who work with her - they seem to be able to ignore her ways of being a terrible human being :D
Propane and propane-related accessories
Domestic abuse.
Edit: I’m a DA outreach worker and I’ve researched the field a lot
I’m sorry to hear that - I hope you’ve had the chance to heal from your experiences 💜
Thanks mate I’m a DA outreach worker I’ve studied it a lot and can bore people to tears for hours with it
It’s a very important subject to talk about and it’s awesome that you’ve dedicated yourself to doing that
That’s really nice of you thanks so much! Here is a fact for free… DA perps of course use coercive control to trap the victim. Cult leaders, terrorist cells, organised crime groups etc also use it but on a bigger, better resourced scale.
There’s a lot of history nerds here, but I still probably know more about classical latin than most, though I’ve given up on that now. I had Roman literature as my major in university, before I got seriously ill and was forced to quit my life
Naval Combat Systems Engineering and history with a smattering of tactics.
I work in Web dev so there’s that. But also the roman empire and etymology.
This is actually a pretty good one cause lemmy is pretty technical. I would say its flashlights for me and electrical engineering.
Another moth! What’s your favorite light? For me it’s the FW3A
My favourite is probably the convoy t series. Kinda the spiritual successor of the fwaa line for me. You can get them pretty cheap, they have nice options and performance and are moddable. Also i really like aa/14500 lights. They are just so neat. If its about “full size” anf not “fun size” lights then probably one of hanks 21700 lights would be my pick. They are still comfortable to carry and also provide pretty nice sustainable performance and some gimmicks as well.
My Lumintop EDC05 probably gets the most use, but I’m still a sucker for the Emisar D4
You see Hank is putting out a KR1AA later this month?
Haha no but I’ll have to check it out. My next flashlight will probably be LEP.
Check out the NlightD ones. Good bang for buck
