With which character do you identify most closely?

For me it is Leonard, while I do have some of Sheldon's traits, I am not nearly as eccentric (or asexual (Tmi)) as he is.

The question is slightly ambiguous in asking which charater you like most, and here changing that to who do you identify with.

My family think I'm a cross between Leonard and Raj, I suppose I think I'm most like Leonard, but there was a time (a long time ago in a galaxy far far away) when I aspired to be somewhat like Sheldon (though we did not have Sheldon as a role model then and had to make do with Spock).

But I also like Penny as she is an interesting counter point to the male protagonists in that she is smart in ways that they fail to comprahend.

My intended meaning is which character are you most like, i.e., which do you resemble most in personality.

I agree about Penny...they have learned many lessons from her regarding human nature.
 
Probably somewhere between Leonard and Howard. Sheldon is a terrible character!

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
