gollark: It's not like fixing buses/cars is very useful anyway. I mean, sure, there are quite a lot of instances when buses or cars may need fixing, but tons of people can do that and to some extent you can probably get away with looking it up on the internet on demand; meanwhile, assembly programmng is a rare and hard to learn skill.
