Then perhaps you missed the part where he thought it funny that I could learn science by reading out three entire non-fiction sections of Oakland libraries?

I think your claim is hilarious:

How did the "three public libraries" magically morph into "three
entire non-fiction sections of Oakland libraries"?  Also, what
happened to the military library you claim to have "read out" whatever
that means?  Tom, you really should write down your lies so that you
don't screw up this badly trying to remember them.

Show me where AT&T is using the term "light lines" to refer to fiber

he has plainly never used a good oscilloscope so he doesn't know why you would use pulse width modulation to measure wire length.

You've been asked to explain how to use PWM to "test cables" many
times.  Nobody asked about measuring wire length.

Re Tommy's "military library". The air force has several types of
Libraries. (1) The public library for readers just like your home town
has. (2) A library of regulations that covers every thing on how to
confirm how many eat supper in the Mess hall to when may a dentist
insist in pulling a tooth. and then there is (3) the vast technical
library that tells you every thing you need to know about any
technical (airplane, truck, whatever, even airport runways) device
that you need fir help in repairing installing removing) any device in
the inventory - I once found a reference for the size bolts to use in
a missile retaining device on a B-52 :-)

So Tommy's claim to have read the military library is akin to saying
that the moon really, truly, IS blue cheese

Proving that John never set foot in a military library. That must be how he got his diaphonous A&P. For the brightest apprintice that is two years and John is hardly bright or they wouldn't have made him crew chief which was nothing more than paperwork.

Are you being purposefully obtuse? Every AFB has a machine
shop, as do Navy ships. Some are bare bones, some are world
class machining facilities, Tinker AFB for example:

The AFB just down the road, Truax (across the highway from
FedEx dropoff), has a very nice shop. Supports F16 and F35
which pass over most afternoons to Camp McCoy bomb range.

I'll tell  you a secret. Probably the most common job that a
Machinist, in the Air Force, does is remove "bad" screws. An airplane
is full of panels that need to be removed to get at something that
needs repair and all these panels are held on by "screws", actually
"Machine Screws".  ands, as a general statement, are removed by
electrical/electronic craftsmen in order to do their work.

Now electrical/electronics craftsmen, in the Air Force are normally
the product of  a "Tech School" that the Air Force uses to turn some
blundering idiot right off the street into a competent craftsman who
can be of  benefit to the A.F.'s mission.

(there are some "tech" schools, although not electronic, that  are 2
year, or longer in duration.)

But in spite of all this training the A.F., for some reason, neglects.
perhaps the most common task there E/E people do. Removing screws so
that they can get to the "Gizmo" that has to be replaced. The use of a
screwdriver, and thusly in addition to the electric gizmo the project
turns into a fix all the damaged screws so the panel can be replaced
and someone has to go out in the wind and the cold to rectify the  "F-
- k Ups". And that is the Machinist :-)
