@eclectech wot no "crushing the meatbags. exterminate. EXTERMINATE!" ?
that would have been an easy win

@anon_opin learn to talk about "exposure triangles" and drop in that you're still learning (that works for maybe the first 10 years or so, then you might need to change your camera and claim to be learning a new camera system instead). appear to take photos of odd things (like a champagne glass before the toast to the couple) to maintain the cover.

@anon_opin that's an easy real-life fix. get a cheap DSLR with as wide-glassed a lens as you can find. "take up" a new hobby of photography. always show up to events with it.
the moment you have a lens, you are behind it, and other photographers tend to leave you alone. it's a real-world invisibility cloak in social events, more so when cameraphones are a default option - it shows that you are "serious"
as a bonus you might find a new hobby in it, though that gets expensive.

@anon_opin I thought we were using the doughnut as our benchmark?
no corner to hide in, etc etc

@anon_opin I know what I'm looking at under the bonnet, and can accurately describe what the majority of the parts really do.
on rare occasions I can even tell you what some of them did.
real-world though, unless I'm lucky enough to have the right bits/fluids/tools handy, it's just to let other road-users know that the automobile is no longer mobile and imminently will not be auto either

@rgarner once it can understand my life will it then report back and tell me what the heck is going on?
I can see a real use for that...
