Re: My intro

Welcome Nigel, glad you joined us. I'm an engineer myself, not quite retired yet, but getting close.

I like to say Engineers are the ones who know where the rubber meets the road.

The Scientist's come up with the theories, but we gotta make em' work!

Re: My intro

Welcome to Hypography, the only place you know where we can calculate the exact properties of a choke.... and almost no electronics engineer will be able to understand, not only what is being describe, but also why in the world we are using QED to do it...

(perhaps not my more successful welcomes... eeeh, whatever)

Re: My intro

I have often found aspirin to be inadequate for some of the conversations we have around here...

Re: My intro

Well you use the headache pyramid

Headache

_________________________________water
_____________________________aspirin | rest
_______________migraine medicine | drowsiness | some hot drink
alcohol | weird comments | more alcohol | sleep | asking yourself what in the world you were trying to say

follow it from the top down, adding the next line
start with some water
then water, aspirin, rest and so forth, by 1/2 way through level 4, your headache will be cured
