I like all the reviews as they are, but I think Amir should unload himself. That could be done by fewer reviews or getting a helper somehow. The helper could for example be a young volunteer or an elderly retired.
As much as I appreciate the intent here, I just don't see how this could work. I only have one of my instruments for measurement. With COVID situation and lack of a lab space externally to our home, I would have to give my instrument to that intern. Trusting someone with such instruments would be a tall order.
Furthermore, the person would have to then handle member equipment and treat them as I do (with impeccable attention to keep them as sent). And again, I would have to trust them that they don't walk away with the gear.
Even if I did all of this, I would be without the instruments to confirm results, answer questions, etc.
As far as I can tell, this is either a one-man operation, or a multi-person company with office space, employees, etc. such as headfi or rting. The latter requires full monetization of the site and likely 5 to 10 times the traffic we have today. Needless to say, that is not here, nor is there a plan to monetize such.
At one point I was hoping to get my youngest son involved to do this but even this has become hard with the pandemic and again, not having secondary gear to give him for testing. He also has a regular job and other hobby so don't know if he would be very interested in doing such work.
So for now, we are left with optimizing my time. I am getting killed this summer with our garden chores. I must have planted 400 to 500 plants (not a typo) and we are having the most incredible harvest. Spent until 2:00am last night preparing tomatoes and pears to dry. Juggling everything has become hard but I enjoy the work so not an issue there.
