I was answering a poll by @grumpasaurus@infosec.exchange and it reminded me about this amazing book about electronics that was written like a Captain Underpants book. I am curious if there are other #genX geeks that learned about #electronics from this book? I'm digging around online for a copy. The amazon listing is $75, but #ThriftBooks has it for $20. Done! Now maybe my kids or grandkids will have the same joy in learning electronics. https://mightyohm.com/blog/2008/12/the-greatest-electronics-book-ever-written/

Replying to @Shards@kind.social
@Shards@kind.social @deepmud@mas.to This is pretty much the childhood world of Gen X. I hit 19 of 20, as we were not wealthy enough for an encyclopedia. #genx

You ever make a little bucket with your hands and belly in the shower and then release it all at once so it makes a big splat or did your parents buy you video games growing up?

Hey, #genX. This is bothering me. I know there's a lot of drawing books that leave space for you to draw your own thing, but do you remember a coloring book series (may have started with an A) that gave you prompts and a blank area, to draw your own coloring book? Kind of like this? #coloringBook

We had family over for dinner last night and ended up having a conversation about how much I miss having a daily paper to read in the morning. I relayed stories of going through the box scores and statistics in the sports section before I did anything else from the time I had an interest as a kid until the day I stopped our major daily subscription. Does anybody know whether we process physical text differently than we do digital text? And does anybody else miss newspapers? #GenX

People say being a part of a generation doesn't mean anything. I beg to differ. There are clear differences between Gen X and the Millennials and the Z's. Honestly there's a huge gap in mentality between Old Millennials and younger ones! #generations #millennials #genX #genZ

Rosie asks, "What do you call someone who exhumes bodies?" "The Body Digger-Upper" There's probably two and a half generations in the US now who don't even know who Rosie is... #Humor #Jokes #GenX
