Thanks. I'm competent in many areas, but some of them are not
relevant in a typical RBT discussion. For example, I don't know much
about guns, bicycle design, riding styles, racing, safety, cycling infrastructure, music theory, diet, exercise, electronic shifting,
disk brakes, etc. In other words, my Venn diagram of expertise looks
like much Swiss cheese:
<https://www.google.com/search?q=venn+diagram&udm=2>
Long ago, I made a Venn diagram to display which of my areas of
expertise overlap and which one's have a gap that needs filling. I
didn't finished it after I realized that all my areas of expertise had
gaps and that the Venn diagram was devoid of anything resembling an
organized structure. That's the result of studying as many areas of
interest as possible and intentionally avoiding becoming an expert in
one particular area, and by implication, lacking knowledge and
experience in adjacent areas. For example, it wasn't sufficient that
I knew how to design a marine radio. I also had to know how it's
made, how to test it, where to find parts, how to deal with regulatory compliance and export restrictions, how to deal with a variety of manufacturing processes, QA, how to write user and service manuals,
how to communicate effectively with marine electronics dealers and
customers, how to diagnose problems over the phone, how communicate
using the radios (industry jargon, buzzwords, acronyms, slang, etc)
and whatever else I forgot to include. In other words, I had to be
able to do everything (at least once). Somehow, knowing how to climb
the mast of a fishing vessel in order to troubleshoot a mast mounted
Doppler RDF (radio direction finder) antenna was not in my job
description or employment contract.

Time for an evening trudge. Later...

Jeff, you are competent in recieving Welfare and little else. You're so screwed up that a warning I gave you from the TV weatherman on Fox that is seldom wrong was answered by you as insulting rather than a friendly warning. Again then have issued a
warning for the Santa Cruz noutains even saying that the night time temperatures are likely to drop into the 20's and you continue to act as if a man whose sole source of heat is not firewood probably soaking wet.

Perhaps you forget my grandparents were Jewish.

Being Jewish is passed down through the maternal line. I assume that
you're claiming to be Jewish. If you're not claiming to be Jewish why
did you mention that your grandparents were Jewish? Having Jewish grandparents doesn't magically make you immune to criticism for acting
in an antisemitic manner.

Because your mother was not Jewish, you can't claim to be Jewish.

"Matrilineality in Judaism" <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrilineality_in_Judaism>

Most people could make the connection - my grandparents were Jewish hence my mother was Jewish. She converted to Christianity which was doing little more than following the teachings of another Jew, You brain seems to have ceased to work altogether.
