It’s funny because the people who are like ‘no one wants to hear it’ will launch into a diatribe about garden hoses or something like they don’t realize that is a niche interest. I had to catch a relative out about that. I think she’s gotten a bit kinder since.
Did you know, all four of the "gas giants" in our solar system have rings; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune all have rings, only Saturn is most famous for its rings being more often studied.
Some model trains operate on a system called DCC, or Digital Command Control. As an alternative to DC, or Direct Current-driven models, it’s a commonly-held misconception that DCC runs on an AC, or Alternating Current circuit. In reality, it’s still using direct current, but combining it with PWM, or Pulse Width Modulation, to embed digital signals at slightly higher voltages than the regular operating voltage. These signals can be used to address individual models and send commands that allow for a model to have more functions than a DC model would be capable of, such as more sophisticated lighting, finer motor controls, sound features, consists, speed matching, automation, and a lot more.
Wow... I love electronics but I've never dabbled with model trains, had no idea they've gotten that sophisticated. I thought it was all about the miniature making etc. lol, PWM in the tracks is amazing.
Oh DCC has been around since the 80s, I think, but nowadays we can use Arduino boards as base stations in place of the more turnkey units that cost a lot more.
No one cares
F you Spez...
(/j duh)
The hard part is finding anyone who wants to listen to you rambling about your stuff.
I like lots of stuff, but no special interest. Am I basic?
Maybe you’re the most basic person, and that makes you special. Tell me more!
You don’t know what’s interesting about you because it’s normal to you.
Yeah I actually remembered I'm a flow artist! That's definitely cool and interesting.
When you love someone, you can’t hear enough about their current hyper fixations. “Would you shut up”, “Nobody cares”. These are things I heard a lot as a kid. I had to reach my 30s to finally feel the magic of “Please tell me more”.
I can geek out about 40K, Dune, ASOIAF, Dark Souls. And my girlfriend smiles at me and is happy I am getting exited like a child. It really is something when you give a 20 minute lecture about Necron history and get questions about the specifics. Just yesterday, when we went to bed, she wanted me to talk about Rincewind and Discworld. FREAKING RINCEWIND! When can you talk about him?! She loves to listen to me and I love to listen to her.
Don’t let shit people spoil the fun for you. You are beautiful, your weird hobbies and fixations are beautiful. Go find a good person who will be weird together with you.
I am a software engineer, my wife lets me ramble about all sorts of development and other nerdy things related all the time without a single complaint.
She is my rubber duck, which I apologize to her for :D
Rincewind is my fav character next to DEATH
Maybe it's just me, but about 30% of YouTube just feels like this. It's kind of amazing to see different points of view, different experiences, and watch someone who mastered their hobbies.
I've been getting back into music after decades, learning how to write music instead of just playing it. I've probably watched a thousand hours of video over the last year, just watching whatever comes up. Hearing a wide variety of perspectives is insanely helpful, I really wish they were so easily accessible when I was younger.
Ok for a moment I thought she meant people from Appalachia
I know from personal experience what it's like to spend a few minutes passionately pouring your heart out about something that fascinates you to someone only to find out they were barely listening. I will either hear someone out or try to stop them before they get too far if I know I'm just not going to be interested in it.
Because there's hearing about people's passions and then there's being too polite to tell a guy to shut the fuck up about your little ring you going to help you with archery that you've been talking about for half an hour because we're trying to play D&D here. (Years later and I'm still annoyed I didn't try to bring that monologue to an end 20 minutes earlier).
It's not really what you say, it's how you say it. There are people who can make zoning regulation interesting, and then you have people who are talking about a shooting they survived boring.
Yeah, I’ll always remember from olden days pouring my heart about computers and the internet, before they were everywhere, and the crowd listened in what I thought was rapt attention. I even related Unix (at the time) to PCs, which they may be more familiar with …. Then at the end the only comment was “I thought you said ‘feces’.”
I’ll always remember when I was still new-ish to the Boston area, talking to visiting family about all the great things the city has to offer, including connecting various sights to actual history. It was a special Fourth of July weekend, and I may have been overly passionate connecting history of both culture and technology to one of the more interesting tourist attractions, to see the USS Constitution “sail” on its turnaround cruise through Boston Harbor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Constitution). Afterwards, my ex-mother-in-law commented “it didn’t make sense to me why they would take a piece of paper out of the National Archives in DC and put it on a boat”
Hell yea. I love hearing about other peoples passions.
