What Do You Know Better Than Anyone Else On Arfcom? - Page 1

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - What Do You Know Better Than Anyone Else On Arfcom? (Page 1 of 8)

Posted: 2/18/2020 5:39:57 PM EDT

We have a lot of experts here on Arfcom.

Many think they know a lot, but don't realize others here may know more about a subject matter, skill, or whatever.

Are you considered an expert at something? If so, what is it you know better than anyone else here.

We have Kia/Volvo/Merc techs that could walk you through the most over-engineered vehicles on the road.

We have a large number of lawyers of varying specialities that could help you win the weakest of cases.

We have fighter pilots that have done things with a plane one could only dream of doing.

In other words, people here know a ton of stuff, some would even be considered industry experts and leaders of their field.

I am confident enough to say that I know more about rugby and the craft of acting (Meisner) than anyone here.

Pretty lame when considering the grand scheme of things. Certainly it pales in comparison to what others here know.

I don't care how trivial the expertise is. It would be nice to know who knows what.

Possibly Kotlin programming. I'll likely be able to hold my own against anyone here when it comes to Java and C, but may not be better than them, per se.

EDIT: And comfortably using the metric system.

Traffic management, from building intersections to coordinating large cities, to infrastructure design of said systems, vehicle detection, different controllers and cabinet setups and software to run em. Different communication set ups, different camera systems and troubleshooting and maintaining all of it.

Pretty boring to most people but I enjoy it and I’m pretty good at it.

I'm pretty knowledgable about German issued Mausers, 1898-1945, but mainly those of the Imperial and Weimar eras. Specifically the Gewehr 98. AMA about them, I'll likely know.

Fire code, fire inspections, public fire safety education, fire investigations, pretty much everything fire prevention related.

Non work related, I am becoming an expert in lawn maintenance and care. Nothing like a deep green striped yard to come home to.

Other than Art, I'm an expert on vintage BMW motorcycles.

Even though I sold both the ones I had to send my youngest son to Germany for a year.

I've won four show awards with my vintage BMWs and was invited to be a vintage bike judge at Barber Motorsports Park one year.
