Mine‘s getting so accustomed to cold showers that I a) absolutely do not mind cold water for swimming etc. anymore and b) could not enjoy warm or hot showers anymore. They just weren’t nice at all.

      You’d better be well paid, whatever you do. Like politics, all the wrong people go into Excel.

    In visual studio, a program for software developers, one of the type of templates you can start up and make a program with is in “blazor webassembly”. One of Microsoft’s fancy new things.

    In there, right after starting it, there is some example code thrown in your face. Code that contains pi… with a rounding error.

    So I, being the insistent autistic nerd I am, made a pull request and had it fixed. And I still wonder how so many people looked at that and it bothered absolutely no one enough to go and fix it.

      Congrats on your personal achievements, as I reckon they both required quite some determination, training and stretching!

      Were those things related… thematically or chronologically?

        Not really, I’d started running like 2 years before starting toying and running with stuff it would end up chafing you terribly. Life kind of came to a crashing halt and I haven’t run since March and still can’t really fit half the things I used to

        Only in that they happened before my life fell apart several months ago and they’re about the only interesting things about me I could come up with

    I’ve never heard a single Tool song, and I’m a prog rock/metal fan.

    I’m pretty good at… just about everything. With some rare exceptions, just about every new thing I try, I pick up really quickly, and am pretty good at it. Ice skating, volleyball, stand-up comedy, acting, dancing, singing, gymnastics, hockey, rugby, capoeira, woodworking, drawing, painting, sculpture, chemist, surgery, gardening, swimming/diving… Just a whole bunch of random stuff that I’ve had the opportunity to try and… yeah, I’m pretty good at 'em.

    I’ve often thought about being the subject of some sort of “Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe” style show except they challenge me with new tasks/activities to see if they can find something I legitimately suck at.
