I recently found out Shigeru Miyamoto (the creator of Mario and Zelda) likes to carry a tape measure around with him, guess how big things are, and measure them to check how close he was
-
What were they measuring? Is this for things he was good at guessing versus would often have trouble?

I've started doing the same thing and it's a lot of fun
That does actually sound like it would be neat to do. I don't understand why ... but it does.

I have a small keychain laser measurer that I originally bought to use when calculating focal distance with manual camera lenses.
But I find I'm often whipping it out to randomly check how far away I am from random things.
It's oddly very fun.

It seems a bit too exciting for dull men.

Do you have a brand or link for that? I’ve yet to see a keychain sized one

Once I manage to stop hitting the snooze button and crawl my lazy ass out of bed I'll take a photo of it. I bought mine at Canadian Tire. Should be similar in any hardware stores.

I lied....in my brain it feels smaller than it is because ive gotten used to it. But now that I actively look at it again, "keychain" sized is a bit of a stretch.
Although I do use it on my keychain, so maybe ive just gotten accustomed to it.

I’m a carpenter. We love to do that too.

how big were their dongs?
They were of a size that made measuring necessary. Whether that is big or small is something I'll let you decide for yourself.

I did the same thing lol trying to learn how to hyperfocus, now i keep it at work in my tray of knick knacks and every time someone sees it they start measuring and guessing and don't believe things are certain distances

Mine is like three times that size so I would call it Keychain sized too haha

It's five inches. Always, only five inches.

I eventually did invest in a bigger boy to carry in my filming kit that can store two measurements at once. It's super handy when you've got two subjects and you need to rack focus between them.

Whether software, electrical, aerospace, or civil… engineer gonna engineer.
You left out the two most important types, Passenger and Freight

Just when I didn't think that it was possible to like this guy more.

Thank you internet stranger. It is pretty small. What are the maximum and minimum distance on this? Most of my lenes go to infinity around 40’ but close focus varies.

The great thing about carrying a purse is that I can have a tape measure and small flashlight wherever i am. and a mushed up granola bar "for emergencies." and so on. can never find a damn pen, though.

Ditto, I've always got one with me anyway, now it's for fun as well as work
