From the old days of film:The best shots always happen after the last frame is exposed (or last byte is used up on the memory card.Other best shots were taken through the lens cap.Any remaining best shots were lost when someone opened the door to the dark room while you were developing the roll and let all the dark out.
I knew some algebra from before I got it in Jr. High, because of electronics, things like ohms law and other electrical formulas. I also picked up on trig right away, again because of the use in electrical engineering. First year of calculus in Jr college was fine, then it started getting rough. When we got to differential equations, I flunked the first try. The 2nd try I passed with a “D” I think the prof gave me a D so he would not have to see my ugly face again. That’s when I found out I could not understand math unless it had a practical use. For example I caught on to Bessel functions, because they describe frequency modulation.
My grandparents had a Dumont TV set. It was big. Had good sound. The most fun feature for me was the Mallory-Ware “Induct tuner”. It did not click but tuned like a radio. Between channels 6 and 7, it would pick up FM radio just above channel six, then police, fire and taxi radios before you got to channel 7.
