So... you're telling me:
A) You are pretty (ugly?) enough to be mistaken for a member of the band Metallica
B) You're a musician who's actually gigging
and
C) You have a PhD in physics
... ?!
Fuck you, man... Fuck, fuckin', you.
You gotta come into my thread where I pretend to be smart about stuff and you show me up on 3 fronts?
What's next... You want to brag about your Christmas dinner with Brian May and Niel DeGrasse Tyson?
My impression of Kingnat:
"Lolz, look at the 'tarded monkey.
His pic is of an ape, not a monkey. Whatta boob!
He talks about music like as though he played more than a handful of gigs a decade ago, like he's not a washed-up has-been.
He talks about physics as though he's got 3 times as much actual training in the field as he does."

Oh wait. You're complimenting me? As in, you think I'm not the dumb?
Awwwww.... thanks, man. You're the king (nat).

On being a good explainer person:
I don't know. I've always been a good communicator. I've repeatedly been told that I should be a teacher, and I've repeatedly not pursued that job because I am equally capable of being a physicist or engineer, and those professions pay a lot more.
Still, there is a teacher in me that wants to be validated by being right and convincing other people to agree with me. It's not a very scientific motivation, but it makes a great compliment to scientific rigor.
I find one of my greatest challenges to keep myself from talking about half-baked ideas in the same voice as when I talk about physics. It's hard to avoid the blending of knowledge and speculation when I'm talking casually.
The amount of time and number of revisions that go into the posts in this thread are probably going unnoticed. If we were to talk face to face, I doubt that I'd come across as this well-spoken. I say the wrong thing many times before I refine it to something that I think my professors would not cringe at.
