    Problem solving…

    I’ve done it my whole life, at 5 years old I took apart a old kitchen timer. I broke it, but figured out what I did to break it, what broke it originally, and what I could have done to fix it.

    I learned HVAC by being thrown into a truck, and learned it in the nineties.

    I learned HL7, Cerner, and a bunch of other shit. Eventually becoming a technical expert for a 4 hospital system. Then I had a mental breakdown. But I can still problem solve better then 99% of them.

    Speaking Estonian. There are few enough native speakers on the planet that the odds of anyone out of 99 being better is negligible.

    Oh, man… Maybe MacGyver trivia? I’m not a superman or anything, but it’s probably something I could beat 99 random people in.

    Any of my real interests or talents, I can readily admit I’m probably just average at.

      Ok, give me 5 facts about MacGyver I wouldn’t know. I’ve seen the show but it’s been decades.

        Um… let’s see.

        Even though it was set primarily in LA (and all over the world), half the seasons were filmed in Vancouver.

        MacGyver is always super anti gun, which we do get the backstory for. But in the pilot episode, he straight up is just shooting an assault rifle.

        The building used for the Phoenix Foundation headquarters is The Qube in Vancouver. I think that is a cool looking building.

        His first name is Angus. I think that’s a pretty well-known one if you’ve seen the later seasons.

        Dana Elcar started losing his eyesight (pretty sure to glaucoma) and they wrote his blindness into Pete’s character.

        Idk, those aren’t super good ones, I guess I need a refresher.
