I had to push through another bunch of big mean looking guys blocking the sidewalk, dressed in big boots and plaid lumberjack shirts, talking loud at one another. About data bases and cloud apps.

So men shouldn't dress like women and they shouldn't dress like men either apparently. How DO you prefer men to dress? Maybe u missed your calling in fashion design engineering
They can dress as they please. It's just funny that guys who type code all day want to look like construction workers. It's the new uniform.
The Silicon Valley engineer look was once very different, white shirts and skinny ties.
Did I offend you?

Suits & ties can give me the same chuckle...

My favourite name of a test unit is Wobbulator, an ancient tube device that I just picked up...

It processes video? What does it do?
One button to set attenuation to 10 Db [sic] and 3 buttons all say 20 Db?
I can't read it. Unfortunately google can't find a better copy.
I think you offend a great many people. Good thing most of the world doesn't know you exist.

Not nearly as impressive as the Turbo Encabulator:

What? You don't recognize musical notation? I think 20 Db would be ultrasonic though, around 18 MHz.

A wobulator is an RF sweep generator that uses a vibrating variable capacitor, sometimes made from a speaker cone.

Looks like a TV FM test instrument, 13 channels of Video carriers and sound carriers.
Reciently, I heard the Wobbulator mentioned in this video,

Hey punk, stop pushing through! :^) My belly keeps growing so I'm now ~170 lbs and 5'11". I often wear jeans and plaid. (I leave my Stihl at home, don't tempt me. :^)

Those guys wouldn't know which end of a chainsaw to grab.

Chain saws are scary things, maybe more dangerous than cars. We should all just stick to soldering irons.

Isn't it kinda warm there for plaid shirts (which are usually heavy fabric)?
Were they wearing suspenders and bras?
It's parka weather lately, fog that's almost rain and temps in the
50's. It's officially 58F this instant, but the official weather station is downtown and runs a bit warm.We're going up into the Sierras this weekend, 6000 feet or so, to warm up a little.
