What are your special interests?

Aspeth

I really love learning about other peoples hyperfixations/special interests and - although I struggle to show it - get so happy and excited when someone shares theirs with me. It's probably one of the only things I like more than my own special interest tbh... I love it even more when someone feels comfortable enough to not only tell me what theirs is, but also tell me every detail about it. Even if I have no idea what any of it means, I still love listening.

I'm rambling so I'll just get to the point; I'm curious about everyone here. I had a *** night and this is the first thing that came to mind to make me feel better so I'd love it if someone would be willing to indulge...

  • I don't know if others like old technology, but I've been given an old homemade frequency counter (from Radcom March 1976) and quite like the look of the nixie tubes - I just need to confirm that the different buttons are wired to the original design and get it working properly and then add a multiway switch and some labels that should have been included when it was originally made.

    Here is a photo of it powered up showing the nice orange glow from the nixie tubes:
