What’s your job?

[M1tch]

Simple question really, what do you do (or did you do) for a living?

I’ve been on here for about 2 years now and some people talk about some amazing things that I literally have no idea about - primarily kWh, solar power, software and other electrical stuff. So just thought it would be interesting.

I’m a British Army Officer. Served since 2002 as a young private and pushed up the ranks to commissioning 2 years ago. Seen almost every conflict in that time and seen every continent on the planet.

I listen to people and their problems.

Sometime it is not that simple as people use different thresholds for what they want to let know about themselves in a public forum. Also sometime you see various personal criticisms including Mukovite etc., thrown at by others some as a banter but others more seriously. Knowing more personal details including the occupation etc., can be more of a hindernace to freely express your views.

I listen to people and their problems.

And I guess provide solutions too

No solutions from me I'm afraid! I dunno what's best for people. They usually figure something out themselves when listened to properly

Looks like you have wisely invested when you were working!

Ten hut! There is an officer on deck

The fun starts here, why do Hollywood movies use Ten Hut instead of attention?

Yanks!

 

[mdunc]

Field Applications Engineer in embedded wireless, mainly Bluetooth and UWB stuff. Claim to fame, one of my products was involved in hacking a Tesla ...

I should point out it was an off the shelf BT device and was nothing exceptional, just a surprise to see a picture of it being used for that particular purpose.

So you’re in the tin foil business?
