By calling it Military Grade, it's easier to Ban it...

Learning Piano, 3d design & printing. Improving my inline skating.

And a bunch of computer stuff too, but hell, for the past 33 years of working in this game, I've learned a bunch of new computer stuff each year. Sooner or later it all tastes like chicken.

In fairness, while getting old is not ideal, it usually beats the alternative

Also somewhat "dark" when they email you on the day of renewal, so that you have no chance to consider other options.

Our free soda, crisps, and chocolate biscuits went away a long time ago. Not because the company wanted to save money, but because the company was more concerned about health. When we moved to a new building, we got an onsite Gym instead.

Most of the people who live in places that will become uninhabitable, can either not or can barely afford clear water and food. They will not be able to afford hi tech solutions. Since Humanity does not help them now, it is not reasonable to assume that we will help them in the future.

Understand your audience.

It's SO easy to assume knowledge. When I talk about python, I now give a quick intro to the command prompt. I started out assuming everyone knew how to use the command prompt. A lot of times, you forget that the stuff you "just use" may be new to the listeners.

"Don't bother disagreeing with people on social media."

You should put that on a tee-shirt, or maybe a billboard.

So I'm probably not the only one who adds "-pinterest" to my searches. Never signing up for pinterest.
