    Just thinking about the little things we enjoy that is other people's way of earning, for example fishing.

    I got really into cocktails a few years ago. No way I'd be able to keep up at a real bar, even if I probably know more cocktails than many of the bartenders I've personally interacted with (TBF I haven't been to a bar since I really got into cocktails, and before I got into it I just went wherever it was cheap).

            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.

                Yes, as in the studies of everything between keeping up with time zone rules, knowing when the next lunar eclipse is (in the USA that's coming up shortly early morning March 14), and even learning and understanding how long different CPU instructions take.

                  Kind of the opposite, but I void warranties for a living. Pays pretty well too.

                    Apparently there are people who receive monetary compensation for drawing comics. Some apparently can even do that as their main job. That's what I heard at least, they seem to be rare.

                                    "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.
