I know it's nearly 20 years since I graduated with a degree in Electronic and Electrical Engineering, and over the intervening years I've progressed through systems engineer to project engineer to technology lawyer. But I still laughed out loud at today's xkcd.

It was the 'may use an actual sandal instead' that completely cracked me up.

I like the big complicated mess of resistors over the right hand side. If I'd ever got the hang of start-delta transforms, I'd have a go at it.

(No, electronics was not my forte. I always hated it, which is what put me off computers till I discovered that computing is a totally different discipline.)

Works on physicists too!
