- raducu 4y agoI've got a dozen tronclub kits completely unopened. A 200mhz osciloscope I've only used to test the onboard signal generator. A decent electronic microscope. Solder paste in my fridge, never opened. A broken cheap chinese airgun that I was going to repair (I'm pretty sure it's just a capacitor blown out, but I couldn't find the correct value for it). I'm the opposite of just "do", I research so much ahead of the "do" and the gap gets so big that it just feels incredibly hard to backtrack to where I last actually "did". It's like I eat dessert before the main course and just like my grandma said, I won't eat the main course because I ate the dessert.

It turns out that Waiting for Godot is a play by Samuel Beckett in which two characters engage in a variety of discussions and encounters while awaiting the titular Godot, who never arrives..
