One of my favorite things is when someone I follow asks a non-techie question on something I know nothing about, I boost as requested, and my followers jump in with polite but enthusiastic support.

You wanna cook this thing but don't know how? Your dog is being weird and you want to figure out what's wrong? I have this weird object, here's a picture, WTF is it???

There's a whole world of folks out there who want to help.

I truly love that.
