Hello, all. My username is yowser, from the frequency of the use of that word when my multiple attempts at anything result in a painful result. To say I am a newbie is a bit misleading, as I consider myself three days older than dirt.
My physics background is limited to what I learned in grade school and limited high school, with additional and continuing learning in life. I'm fine with arithmetic and algebra, but cannot grasp trigonometry or advanced mathematics. Electricity is a crap shoot. I can follow most diagrams, but the symbols are a mystery. I understand general concepts and am fascinated by physics, but no clue as to how anything above the basic seven applies to life.
Not boasting, but have been told I have a "big brain", I can figure out most mechanical situations (I've always said if a man put it together, I can take it apart). Human interaction is not my strong point, I sometimes take offence at the most menial of statements (please let me know if I offend you somehow, I am not good at subtleties). I do not suffer fools gracefully.
I question most everything. I have chemo fog, so sometimes it takes me a while to understand. And most importantly, I need to break my addiction to endlessly scrolling through Quora looking for answers. I thank you all for being here.
