I’m in the ER. Probably the doctor standing directly in front of me.
The manager likely thinks it’s him, but it’s actually all the workers that do the work.
Most useful? Without a doubt, my laptop. The amount of things that can be done with a modern computer is pretty stunning, and a portable one is even more useful.
Other than that, maybe my car keys because the amount of things you can do with a car is stunning, but you need the keys to start it, and the car isn’t in this room.
For almost everyone it’s gonna be the phone we’re reading this on.
I’m in my car.
The car.
Pumpkin spice old fashioned. With real pumpkin puree!
Air. Can’t go more than a minute or two without it, and there’s enough to share!
Laptop probably. Linux, tmux, i3, vim, GCC, GDB, Pdb, gplaces, links2, curl, wget, netcat, awk, sed… what more could be needed for happiness?
Kdunno, but it’s preloaded with shittons of tools I don’t even know the use of yet (thanks kali). Excluding that probably my lensatic compass. It’s nice, quite cheap and not magnetically dampened but it does the job.
Phone
Me? Unless I’m excluded, then the laptop. Although the room itself is pretty useful, but I don’t think I consider it “in the room”.
Home server.
That’s a tough one because I’m currently surrounded by computers and tools. I’m within reach of my smart phone, one of my laptops, I’m typing this on my desktop PC, I’m within reach of three multitools, a power drill, and my away mission tool bag. So I think I’ll give a cop out answer and go with “The several thousand liters of air filling the room.”
A 5gal jug full of water. (I don’t have AC and it’s 32C/90F inside)
A fucking pistol.
I’m outside so I’m not sure how to evaluate “the room”. My phone is the most immediate at hand (pun intended) useful thing right now though.
