Asklemmy

I have two useless talents:

• Highly developed sense of smell (sometimes a liability)
• Ability to identify voice actors with high accuracy

I once identified the source of a minute gas leak in my basement, which had evaded the calibrated detection equipment of the utility company, so I guess I can't say it's completely useless.

Pretty good generalist.

My humility.

Joking aside though, I'd like to think I'm pretty empathetic and understanding.

...stand above the average person?

Kinda opposite of the prompt:

Scuba!

Lots of divers will tell you that buouancy control is difficult for most divers. Mine is absolutely good. I teach underwater photography and can hover within a fraction of an inch over a super silty bottom while swimming backwards and taking video without stirring up anything.

I have other instructors and professionals come to me for buoyancy training.

Being myself, I'm pretty good at it.

Understanding how substations work. Also, knowing what substations even are...

Playing piano, and knowing too much about headphone gear and audio measurements

If I was to base it off people I know IRL, it'd be video games. But against the collective of gamers on the internet, I don't even rank. :/

Well... I guess that's just skill. Experience, though... Many streamers and gamers are a fraction of my age, and I've been gaming since as far back as I remember.

Loading a vehicle or container for moving. I've had friends ask me to basically take over their move. And yeah, I may be a sucker for doing it, but I will save people hours and multiple trips while moving. I 3d tetris the hell out of a uhaul.

Height. I'm 6'6" on a good day. Top 99.897% in the world.

Reviving and programming REMBASS units. REmotely Monitored Battlefield Sensor System was a old ass piece of equipment when I was using it 20 years ago in the Army. You'd have to program different channels using another old ass piece of equipment. And very often they'd drop their fills, or not appreciate having a new, fully charged battery in it. It would frustrate people to no end because they'd spend hours trying to get it going, and then I'd stroll up talking all nice and pretty to the gear and shit would just work for me.

Besides my professional skills, which are so boring they’re not worth mentioning, I’m good at snapping my fingers? I can do both hands really fast.
Also, standing on one leg, having internal monologues that can last for hours and other useless skills :)

Freeze-drying, it's a d(r)ying art.

i got 4 nukes in MWII

Not getting stung by bees?

Linguistics, programming, rationalizing, and trackmania =)

Installing operating systems.

I'm pretty good at controlling my temper... does that count?

Well, it's definitely not my height, hahahaha 🥲

But I'm pretty good at ~~not giving up~~ getting obsessed with a problem and basically bashing my head against the wall until the wall gives in.

Or until a new problem steals my focus.

Like, I have no mechanical experience, but I did a valve adjustment on my motorbike.

Living outside my home country.

Hacking Nintendo consoles

exponentially more experienced

no quadratic trinomial experience ... guess i'll show myself out then

Trimming goat and sheep hooves

Driving a forklift

Being in a freezer

I'm very comfortable doing CPR

Skateboarding. I've been skating since 1985, and aside from a couple years in the military, never really took a break from it.

At 48 years old, with a slew of injuries, I can't do the kind of things I did in my 20s, but can sure hold my own on a mini ramp.

Am not

Asking intriguing questions that nobody thinks to ask.

Welding probably. Especially oxy- acetylene and TiG

Kayaking, ive been doing it a year and a half and I've been on every white water course in the country

Fast driving - although I've never raced competitively I've done around 50 track days and I was normally one of the fastest on circuit wet and dry (whilst not having the fastest car).

Computer stuff - worked in IT my whole life although this one isn't for fun.
