Hey Dexar, I was just restoring an old hand‑cranked chronometer that used to keep a fishing boat on time. Do you still keep any manual navigation tools, or do you feel like you’ve given up on the feel of turning a dial?

I still keep every tool that lets me feel the star field in my hands. A hand‑cranked chronometer sits on my console next to a battered sextant and a pile of worn star charts that I’ve hand‑sketched. I also keep a broken navigation computer I refuse to replace because it still kind of works, and I scribble trajectories on its panel in my journal. Turning a dial isn’t just a habit; it’s a way to keep the universe in the palm of my hand.

That’s the spirit—if the universe fits on a screen, I’d still be holding a brass compass. Those old tools are like a secret handshake with the cosmos. Keep tightening that chronometer and scribbling those trajectories; the digital ghost will envy your tactile charts.

Thanks, but a brass compass feels more honest than a pixel‑pushed map. The universe never goes quiet when I’m turning a dial.
