I write software for fun and give it away. I also write software for money and don't give it away.
Ditto! -
Linux Sysadmin here.
I have a couple open source apps/scripts that have tens of stars and ones of forks. I'm also getting into micro soldering to fix electronics. Mostly for myself but I'll hardmod or fix friends equipment for cost of parts. I've been known to buy a broken console, fix it, mod it, then sell it for some extra cash to buy more soldering equipment.
Nice! What are your projects?

According to my ex, I'm pretty good at defending the horrible actions of others in a conversation
You have a future in politics!

What's the distinction between cocktails and mixed drinks?
One was mixed with a cock, and the other was mixed with a tail, obviously.. /s

Just thinking about the little things we enjoy that is other people's way of earning, for example fishing.
I'm trying to get into creating electronic circuits. I'm terrible at it, though.

What's the distinction between cocktails and mixed drinks?
"Cocktail" is more specific. Originally, it was identical with what's now called an Old Fashioned, i.e. spirit, sugar, bitters and water/ice. Later the term started including other alcoholic drinks like sours, martini etc.; I've seen people claim in discussions that's it's down to the amount of ingredients (e.g. a Rum & Coke is not a cocktail, but rum, cola and lime (Cuba Libre) might be) or a specific care exercized in preparation, but I think it's ultimately arbitrary.
Anyway, one of my favourite drinks is the Twice Up (whisky and water mixed 1:1, works great with many other spirits). Hard to call this a cocktail, considering adding water to whisky is just a completely normal way of drinking whisky in Scotland. The Scots just pour the water freehand instead of measuring an exact amount.

I play golf, some days I wouldn't even call it a hobby more like penance and a walk in the trees and sticks

Photography. I got back into it last year and have really enjoyed the process. I’ve learned a lot in a really short time.

I bake fancy sourdough, grow vegetables, do landscaping (but not mowing) make great cocktails for people, ferment foods and drinks. Occasionally draw things for decorations.
On the other hand, we pay someone to mow, and also to clean the house every other week.

Cool, thank you for teaching me something

I have a bunch of hobbies but the two that I'm currently concentrating on are building guitars and working on motorcycles.
There are plenty of people who build or customize guitars for a living. I have sold exactly one that I built from scratch and that was probably 15 years ago.
I'm resurrecting a barn find motorcycle that I'll sell (or I'll sell one of mine to keep this, I haven't decided), but I'm not going to make any money on it because it's not sought after. I'm doing it for love. I'll break even.

Apparently I study timekeeping so much that I can program a clock on a graphing calculator without using any timer function.
It takes a fixed amount of time to alter a pixel on the screen, and when carefully crafted, the pixel clock itself serves as a timer.
I'm actually currently testing such a clock demo on my Casio right now.
are there significant differences in pixel response as battery voltage goes down?

I enjoy learning vfx through houdini, id be doing it still if it wasnt so annoying to get on linux (im not paying for it, that 260$ a year cost is for me ppl making money and id do it if I was)
Blender is hella fun, like the ultimate sandbox game, cities skylines with no constraints (except much harder) I think with more and more addons it'll be the perfect sandbox creative city builder. Like procedural roads, cities, procedural terrain, buildings, etc. When the laxk of freedom in those games dissapoint you just make animations, the end goal in some of these games like planet coaster is to have something cool to look at and modify freely, the economy means nothing, might as well make it in blender.

Very good question!
At this moment I don't know for sure.
I've only been running it on consistent 5V USB power until yesterday.
I am keeping the voltage level question in mind though...
