Stumbled upon my first analog multimeter while cleaning the garage.
I was cleaning the garage and came across my old analog multimeter from when I started. It got me thinking back to how we had to manually calibrate instruments step by step. Now, everything is digital and often self-testing. I remember spending hours on a single gyro system, but today it's a quick software check. There's something about the old hands-on way that felt more satisfying. What's your view on the move from physical to digital troubleshooting in avionics?

Used to love digital, but this post has me missing hands-on work.

Read an article last week about how our brains light up differently with physical tasks. That story from @craig.drew about the tiles totally lines up with that. Makes me want to go build a birdhouse or something just to feel it.

My friend who does web design got roped into helping his uncle tile a bathroom. He was complaining at first about the mess and the time. But after, he couldn't stop talking about the solid feel of the tiles fitting together. Said it gave him a sense of done that clicking save never does. Makes you miss the physical part of making things, you know?
