Don’t forget the beige box that protects you from the magic happening:
They are always super gross though. Cleaning them is always fun, especially when you work in a bio lab.
And each of them costs about the same as a deposit on a house.
I recall taking a date to the lab I was working in as a grad student and realizing after we got there that none of it is terribly impressive if you don’t know what any of it does. She was unimpressed despite my excitement about all of it.
I later married a different woman who actually was excited about our lab things despite not being a scientist and having no idea what our many beige boxes do.
Excitedly getting monologued to about niche things that are like magic to me is the best. Learning just enough about someone’s interest to use all the words wrong though is what really gets me going
You married the right one.
Being excited about random things you admire is a sign of genuine and great love :)
And you shall never offend this boxes or else they WILL hold grudges against you.
Another one
Oh I recognize these! We’ve got:
-
The 1978 super Nintendo 5 (alternate universe)
-
Lockheed Martin Bread maker
-
Jeff
-
HP 2400 inkjet Uranium 235 enrichment centrifuge

Also, these beige boxes used to be white.
They all look like some 90ies computer device.
The designs probably haven’t fundamentally changed all that much from their older versions.
