Wikipedia is also a great source of information, but it must be approached with a certain degree of caution as well. Be sure to follow up on references, not just look at articles.

A reader is someone who simply visits Wikipedia to read articles, not to edit or create them. They are the sole reason for which Wikipedia exists.

I am an admin a legacy admin on en. You can look me up on
Wikipedia:List_of_administrators. You can also view the
log of my administrative actions.
I'm also a (non-legacy) checkuser. You can look me up on some nifty special page that does some magic that I don't understand. Most of you can not view the log of my checkuser actions. Those of you who can know who you are.
I am serving on the Ombuds commission for the Feb 2024 – Jan 2026 term.
I am a member of Harlem Yacht Club. I am not an employee or otherwise compensated by the club. I have, however, created an alternate account, User:RoySmith-HYC. Should I decide to do any editing of material related to the club, I will use that account to emphasize the COI relationship.
I also have created User:RoySmith-Mobile. I use this on mobile devices and other insecure locations, where I don't want to login using my admin credentials.
User:RoySmith-testing is me as well. It's for testing stuff. And User:RoySmith-RenameTest1. Not to mention the infamous User:RoySmith-YetAnotherSockForTesting.
I also run User:DYK-Tools-Bot.

After a lifetime of using computers in all sorts of useful ways, I finally got around to figuring out how to customize my shell prompt today. I ended up with
\[\033[1;31m\]\u\[\033[00m@\[\033[1;34m\]\h\[\033[00m\] [\[\033[1;35m\]\W\[\033[00m]
whis is both wonderful and frightening, and a little bit sad.
Many years ago, I took physics in high school. I was good at it. Then I went on to college and took another three semesters of physics. Rotational mechanics. Electromagnetism. Optics. Relativity. I was good at that too. In the decades since that, I've enjoyed a vague sense of inner satisfaction about the fact that I understood how the universe worked. I could look at a computer and see all the way down to the P-N junctions doing their magic (even if it's really all MOSFETs these days). It's only in the past year or so that I've dived back into the subject, mostly from watching YouTube videos about quantum mechanics. The MIT Open Courseware stuff is great. I now understand that I don't actually understand how the universe works at all. But I'm getting there. Although I do wish I had paid more attention in my Differential Equations and Linear Algebra classes.
