dude was an absolute character
In between those events, he won 22 games for the Philadelphia Athletics; [...] toured the nation in a melodrama called The Stain of Guilt; courted, married, and became separated from May Wynne Skinner of Lynn, Massachusetts; saved a woman from drowning; accidentally shot a friend through the hand; and was bitten by a lion."
the wikipedia just RANDOMLY DROPPED that he was bitten by a LION with no context?!?
Grandpa: I don’t have autism wtf are you talking about
Also Grandpa: I’ve meticulously organized my workshop and have a massive array of jars with lids fastened to the bottom side of my shelves; they are organized, in order, according to type, outer diameter, inner diameter, and finally, metallurgy.
It’s good to be orgranized and it ain’t no flex to not be BUT it’s the passion that really seal the deal here. It’s like how I don’t manage my cables simply because I like to be neat but more that I manage them because if they aren’t organized I cannot function at full capacity just knowing that things are a mess.
Gotta rizz ‘em with the ‘tism
I work in helicopter maintenance, so reading this I was thinking, "yeah, and?"
It makes any task so much faster when you know exactly where the thing you need is.
The metallurgy is important, too, because different things corrode at different rates, and in contact with different metals.
Incidentally, that part in Big Hero 6 when Wasabi has his tools lined out, with every part and tool accounted for, I thought his shop area was well maintained and appropriate, especially working with such dangerous technology. Then they tried to portray him as mildly OCD or something, and I just thought everyone else was wrong. And Go-Go just grabbing a tool without checking it out was completely inappropriate and poor tool control.
Oh buddy have you seen the hangar safety video? It's long but I don't regret watching it. I'll set the link to the part you mentioned.

That's hilarious, I worked with the guy in the video who bro-ed out with a wrench in his pocket.
Edit: watched more of the video, I worked with the guy doing the rap at the beginning as well. Small world.
my grandpa obsessed over fishing, TV sports, and Volkswagen beetles, every year for Christmas I would get him a little beetle figurine. he is 100% the source of autism in our family
