Being from or having lived in a place for long time. Also being an nth generation resident. Just sticking with what you were born into isn't something to be proud of.

If you have a yard, a pickaxe, a digger bar, and a hand truck. A hi-lift jack is also one of my favorite tools. Never would have bought these but sort of happened into having them and if they were lost or something I'd buy them again without a second thought.

You will probably want to do something in the dirt at some point (sprinklers, electrical lines, landscaping, etc) and a pick is super useful when you need to trench or dig in hard or rocky ground. Same with a digger bar but it can also double as a large pry bar.

My hand truck gets used for moving everything from new/old furniture to rocks and logs around the yard. Just makes moving stuff easy.

I've used my hi-jack lift a lot more than I thought. Used it to pull up fence posts, raise walls when I built a shed, works for changing tires, can be used as a winch, used it to hold up gates I was hanging, just a surprisingly useful tool.

Last one I'll add is a vice - very helpful to have when you need a third hand.

Glue gun and vaccum - corded because I'd be doing these jobs inside where I know I have easy access to outlets. But generally, I've realized that cord/cordless are just two different tools. Chose which to buy based on the size of the job and the frequency you do it (which sort of translates to how many battery charges a job would take vs time/hassle to run an extension cord). But also consider having one of both if you actually have two use cases.

Definitely recommend choosing one brand of cordless tools to buy so that they can share batteries. Also have at least one more battery than tools and put chargers in an easy to access place so they can just stay plugged in all the time.

This happens to a lot of people in one way or another. Family traditions, vacations to the same place or event, favorite restaurants, and on and on. Once you recognize the pattern it is freeing to be able to say goodbye to the things that can't be recaptured, remember them lightning in a bottle they were, and move on.

Wouldn't turn down a halo lan party though.

College. It's not that you won't get an education it's that an education doesn't guarantee a good job - you need connections for that. I heard college described as a way to launder privilege and it's hard to disagree. Some non privileged have to succeed for that to be effective but it doesn't matter who or for what. That said, I think it's a better bet to get an education than not but don't expect high pay to be guaranteed. Definitely recommend having a solid plan for the job you want and taking classes specifically to get there.

Perfect. I'm in the right place.

Be a weirdo! Also take your cat out on a leash!

Best to start when they are young, earlier the better and they just get used to it. Don't expect to actually walk them as you will probably just end up standing there while they smell stuff or roll around on the ground. I have a catio now and walk mine less but they love it.

I've pretty much settled into a routine with my chemex - reasonably easy to get good results for two people twice a day. Hand ground beans from a few local places and I always try to bring home some more interesting beans if I travel. Occasionally I'll bring out my aeropress or french press.

I've seen a bunch about the cafelat robot and if I could get my hands on one I'd buy it, surely someone has one they don't use enough to justify keeping?

Now I need a picture of how you are taking a picture lol. I'll definitely try this.

Funny to think about my ti-83 being over 20 years old... Don't use it that much anymore but I do get it out occasionally.

The one I'll pick to share is my desk. It was a teachers desk and the drawers are full of signatures from kids in the classes. No date but the desk had the top restored by a guy I knew over 20 years ago. It was given to me a few years later and I've used it ever since.

Make sure to crack an egg in there to help with the grounds.
