If you work with your hands, rest with your mind. If you work with your mind, rest with your hands.

There’s a lot of crossover here but off the top of the dome:

Hand-based hobbies -playing music -cooking -woodworking -lifting weights, running, climbing -building dioramas/models -art (needle craft, drawing/painting, sculpting) -**casual video games **

Mind-based hobbies -puzzles -fast paced video games -programming -learn a new language

Those in bold are what I do. Also starting to learn art. It’s one of the lowest barrier to entry hobbies. All you need is paper and a pencil.

The shopping list feature is the most used part of my Alexa, followed by morning weather report while I feed the animals, and then occasional music.

Ooh didn’t know about windows + arrow keys. Super useful!

If someone is using meth in prison, the whole prison should be shut down.

Skin cancer is a bitch.

No clue. I tried to Google the article but to no avail.

I remember reading an article a month or two ago about a guy ordering a bunch of precursor amphetamines from China, and the distributor was able to route them through Mexico. He called it “simple” to acquire.

Ryobi garden tools are legit. I have the 40V string trimmer and 40V mower, and an 18V leaf blower, and so far I have no complaints. I once heard someone say that Ryobi tools are R&D for Milwaukee (as they are the same parent company).

My shop tools are all DeWalt because that’s what my parents and wife’s parents bought us for gifts.

10 am is way too late where I live. It’ll be >90 by then, and that’s a great way to get hear stroke. Most people in my neighborhood are out by 730 working.

It’s not the individual contributors writing the website that are making these decisions, it’s people in $1000 suits, sitting on the 44th floor of a Manhattan skyrise asking “how do we make red line go up?”.

It’s not strictly privacy-focused but The Goblin’s Notebook is designed exactly for your use-case. It has markdown, object connections, every object has a player visible setting, so your players can access known content while you keep secrets hidden. There’s a free tier, a mid tier at $1.50 and an unlimited tier at $3 dollars a month (managed via their patreon).

Great question! For the US, you will need a degree in Molecular Biology/Microbiology or a Medical (Laboratory) Technologist. You’ll then either need to live near the city where one of the few private companies that do wastewater testing ar e(my case), or live near a public health lab that does ww. Pretty much all state public health labs do it, but city/county level varies immensely. For the government route, look at APHL or NACCHO to find information on your local public health labs. There are a few universities that also do ww testing, for example I know University of Illinois, University of Missouri and Michigan State are all doing a bunch of wastewater work.

Feel free to DM me if you want more information.

As Philpo said, we mainly do covid, but we can do Norovirus, which is a common GI virus that can give you the shits.

Love to hear it! 2 years ago I had no idea that I’d be working with wastewater but here I am now!

Anyone out here reading this, write to your senator about increasing funding to public health!

Wastewater-based epidemiology. Basically we track infectious diseases in wastewater, and the results guide public health decisions.

Fun story time. My wife Rick rolled me during our wedding ceremony. She asked to officiant if we could each send him a secret passage to be read during the ceremony. The officiant read my passage, the Dr Seuss passage about finding someone with compatible weirdness, then he started her passage “you know the rules, and” and at the moment I knew I’d been had. It was awesome. He went all the way through the first chorus.

Is tomato bisque a soup or a warm vegetable smoothie?

Been using this one for a decade and it does everything I need it to.

I’m pretty sure I bought that shirt from ThinkGeek in 2008.

I also have been using podcast addict, probably for over 10 years now. You can autodownload new episodes (mine checks daily at 7a and 7p), create custom playlists for juggling multiple podcasts at once, has android auto support, and you don’t have to deal with the bs of Spotify.

I’m sure there are a 100 other features I don’t know about, but that’s what I use.
