I still mentally have to force myself to look others in the eye - My wife’s theory is that many smart engineers (including myself) likely have mild cases of high-functioning autism spectrum disorders.
After looking into it - she is probably right. Think about all the eccentric geniuses of the past and most college professors.

Unfortunately, these kind of jokes don’t work that well on my wife.
Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame. Mine recoils in disgust at most basic math…
@Jewbacca I still hold MIT in high regard. To paraphrase Groucho Marx…
If they ever did the online thing, I would know the apocalypse was here. (haven’t they offered free online lectures or course material to anyone who is interested, for a while now?)
