I’m a physicist. I can align and maximize ANY laser. I don’t even think when doing this task. Long hours of struggle, 50 years ago. Without struggle there is nothing. You can bullshit your way in. But you will be ejected.


barely related to your point but “I can align and maximize ANY laser” is such an incredibly specific flex, I love it


Especially because it's not a skill everyone gets just because they practice. I know because I tried for years lol.


A master blacksmith can shoe a horse an' all. Laser alignment is also a solved problem with a machine. Just because something can be done by hand does not mean it has any intrinsic value.
