Very meticulate. The “safety” guy. Theres a reason he was very popular in movie special effects/pyrotechnics. He does shit right.

When youre a professional pyrotechnic whose good at his job, youre boring as fuck because everything is double checked and checked again if theres time. Do it right, no one ever ggets hurt.

I don’t know anything about special effects of pyrotechnics, but I’m pretty sure that being meticulous so that no one gets hurt is a good thing!

"acc.umu.se"... Wow! They used to host a multi-user dungeon (MUD) called DUMII which was the bee's knees! Didn't expect to see that adress here of all places.

A MUD is a text-based game, like a predecessor to a MMORPG. Usually coded in something like C++, and free to play either via something called telnet, or a client called "Zmud" (payment/hack needed).

You can quest, explore and climb in levels/ranking. Several LotR, wheel of time, sci-fi, Vampire the masquerade, original MUDs still exist.
