Okay, okay.  ::)

It's really quite simple.  This morning , I thought I had a problem with my RE's tire pressure which was extremely disconcerting  causing me to start a thread asking for forum advice.  Fortunately, before anyone had a chance to discover my stupidity (because there actually was no problem at all), I tried to hide the evidence.  :-[

"nevermind" conjures a form of eastern mystical state of not being... or some such claptrap! be happy this philosophy was incorporated in the design of your RE. no bs, really.

As I recall well the technical term is mu.
Then the proper action is wu wei, meaning "do not act".
Or in english: "teatime".
Nothing that can't be fixed with a cup'o tea and a hammer.

Right Said Fred (Cup of Tea)
Lyrics: Myles Rudge

"Right," said Fred, "Both of us together
One on each end and steady as we go."
Tried to shift it, couldn't even lift it
We was getting nowhere
And so we had a cuppa tea and

"Right," said Fred, "Give a shout for Charlie."
Up comes Charlie from the floor below.
After strainin', heavin' and complainin'
We was getting nowhere
And so we had a cuppa tea.

And Charlie had a thought, and he said we ought to take off all the handles
And the things wot held the candles.
But it did no good, well I never thought it would
"All right," said Fred, "Have to take the feet off
To get them feet off wouldn't take a mo."

Took its feet off, even took the seat off
Should have got us somewhere but no!
So Fred said, "Let's have a cuppa tea."
And we said, "right-o."

"Right," said Fred, "Have to take the door off
Need more space to shift the so-and-so."
Had bad twinges taking off the hinges
And it got us nowhere
And so we had a cuppa tea and

"Right," said Fred, " Have to take the wall down,
That there wall is gonna have to go."
Took the wall down, even with it all down
We was getting nowhere
And so we had a cuppa tea.

And Charlie had a think, and he said, "Look, Fred,
I get a sort of feelin'
If we remove the ceilin'
With a rope or two we could drop the blighter through."

"All right," said Fred, climbing up a ladder
With his crowbar gave a mighty blow.
Was he in trouble, half a ton of rubble landed on the top of his dome.
So Charlie and me had another cuppa tea
And then we went home.
