What are you good at?

[BigV]

I'm good at improvisation.

[SteveDallas]

Bullshit. You are not.

You just made that up.

I'm very skilled at prevarication Frankly it's a wonder I ever do anything at all.

I am highly profficient at waiting until absolutely the last possible moment to pull my finger out and get the fuck on with stuff. Unfortunately, when it comes to academic work I am also a perfectionist. This leads to a great deal of unnecessary stress.

[lumberjim]

you think YOU'RE good at procrastination? Let me just tell you how good I am at it......

.....in a little while......maybe later.

Not true! I watched this thread for weeks preparing my answer.

If you can blink close to 60 frames per second, then that would qualify as something you are good at.

I broke the topmost glass shelf for our refrigerator while washing it. It startled me--I wasn't scrubbing it or moving it at the time, it was in the frame, resting in the sink, and **SPASH!!** The sink was filled with pieces of glass the size of a popcorn kernel. Lots of kernels.

Fifteen minutes later, I had the food back in the refrigerator, on our new plywood shelf.

Aren't you concerned that the difference in heat conduction properties between glass and plywood will adversely affect the temperature distribution? Not to mention the amount of light that will go down to the the lower shelves which, I'm given to understand, has something to do with how long the food will stay fresh.

No. Once each shelf type is cold, they remain that cold, despite the material. I think there would be a far greater chance that a substantial temperature change would occur because some food would be move in and out of the refrigerator. If anything, the wood seems like a poorer conductor of heat and would therefore contribute less to the temperature of the food.

I'm even less concerned about this issue, since the amount of light the food gets when it's not being observed is zero (or at least that's what Mr Schroedinger's cat tells me). The transparency of a wooden shelf in the dark refrigerator is a moot point.

It also helps that I'm an unfussy eater.
