The first step is to run a bootstrap script, then run a tailor made playbook for each situation.

Those specific playbooks haven't been made public, but I wrote something[0] last year about how to setup an Android development environment using Ansible, and as part of that shared my bootstrap script.

I gathered many of my bash scripts and aliases, focused on making use of Android Debug Bridge (ADB) easier, together into a single collection[0]. The wiki page has visuals and more information on functionality[1].

Then starting a new project this week around gathering and displaying information on air quality in Iceland.

It mostly acts as a central hub, tying together a blog (not many posts but still some), portfolio, cv, pictures and social links.

Perhaps, if you decide to take a look at Ansible, it might help with getting started https://hth.is/2023/01/02/android-ansible/

I thank my partner for introducing that habit into my life.

Is my understanding incorrect here (genuine good faith question)?

In some areas I was the expert, but in so many others they had the expertise, and so I got to learn a lot from them. And not just in terms of technology and software.

We built up a comradery strong enough that to this day I still regularly meet with old team mates from previous positions to catch up and stay in touch.

Second to that were the problems that needed solving. Still important but not as much as the team.

It sounds like the coworkers are perhaps more knowledgeable in some areas, rather than necessarily having higher IQ's.

And getting to work with people who are more knowledgeable than you is exactly where you want to be.

Never be the smartest person in the room (unless I guess if you are trying to sell or buy something).

For the same period, Iceland though was close to the US, with a reported rate of 12% of respondents saying they smoked.

That is until we reach the brink.

Think of the Montreal Protocol from the 80's, a treaty for phasing out and eventually banning CFC/HCFC's in an effort to protect and hopefully restore the ozone layer. The protocol was in response to a dramatic seasonal depletion of the ozone layer over Antarctica in the 80's.

To me, from everything I read and hear about PFAS pollution, it would seem we are at the brink again in terms of those chemicals.

For seals and other water dwelling mammals this is a controlled sophisticated mechanism that is deliberately used when underwater.

In humans it is a survival mechanism, triggered when the trigeminal nerve on our face gets submerged in water. And the colder it is the stronger the response seems to be.

Submerging one self in cold water up to your head seems to affect many parts of the human body, and in my case I am not sure which part it is that I am feeling the effects of. But it leaves me feeling more alert, awake and with less mindfog after doing an extended cold water dip (going to the pool without one in comparison leaves me sluggish).

Wikipedia has a good section on the response: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_reflex

That, and plunging and holding my face in the cold water to try to trigger the mammalian diving response, has really had a positive effect on me (ofcourse only n=1).

Think I'll add 5 minutes of these breathing practices to my routine as well.
