    I don't do great with beer or wine, increases my digestive issues. Otherwise I'd totally try my hand at an English bitter or something like that, British beers are nearly impossible to get here (at best pale ales or IPAs, which I hate) and I don't like the local styles.

    FWIW if you’ve only ever had commercially produced wine, your issues may actually be stemming from the sulphates used to preserve the wine. You may want to pick up a bottle of sulphate-free wine and see what happens; You may be pleasantly surprised. And if that ends up being the case, homebrewed wine obviously wouldn’t have those sulphates.

      My assumption was that it's related to histamines (which would explain why I do badly with both beer and wine), but might as well try your suggestion.

            I fix all the tech at work because our IT department is dog trash and not fixing something when I know how feels like bees in my brain. Does that count as a hobby? 😕

            I also sometimes cook food in a more elaborate way than necessary which I've heard some people get paid for

              Fixing bikes. But if I had to do it for a job, under time pressure, I'd hate it. Give me all afternoon to fix a bike and let me put on a 5 hour podcast about the collapse of the Aztec empire, that's my happy place

                  I considered this until I learned how much more IT is paid than me, without needing the education and certifications that I need.

                  Funny, I can't seem to remember which port my mouse plugs into on my work computer now.

                        So many

                        Homelab

                        Buy broken electronics, repair, resell (so like microsoldering, diagnosing, etc)

                        Woodworking but I’m bad at it

                        Cooking

                        Music but I’m bad at it

                        3d printing/cad but I’m bad at cad

                        Language study 日本語

                        Pcb design and some coding related to this but I’m bad at it

                        It’s why I get the anti work people. If I could change careers every few years I would. I love learning about new stuff. I post a lot but most of the time I do that is either when I have idle time at work, before or right after work (although sometimes it leaks into weekends). I hate the phrase jack of all trades master of none, it’s cool to know about a lot of things

                          Ha no, it means Japanese (or Japanese language). The kanji would be pronounced “nihongo”

                            are there significant differences in pixel response as battery voltage goes down?

                            Update: To answer your question, yes apparently the calculator is indeed sensitive to variables such as battery voltage and even possibly/likely the temperature.

                            I made a couple tweaks to the display layout, but left the core minute pixel timer algorithm alone. Tonight's test shows it's already off by a minute after only 25 minutes of running.

                            Oh well, it's still a fun experiment, even though I was already aware I might be playing with digital fire with this silly project. 🤷‍♂️

                              I am developing software as a hobby that is fairly specialized in nature. That is only because I could not get a job doing the same thing. Fuck corporate monopolies.

                                    Mechanic. I have the tools and know how to fix my own car so long as we're not talking about an engine rebuild, (and even that I could do and have done in the past, but it's a pain in the ass usually and I don't wanna). I enjoy the tinkering and troubleshooting. If it were a more desirable and high paying gig, I could see myself doing it for work. I also am IT support for my boomer mom.

                                        Astronomy. I have a big ass reflector that I use for struggling to find globular clusters, oggling the fuck out of Jupiter and the Orion nebula, and very slowly working my way through the Messier list. I considered going to school for it, for a hot second, but I kinda really don't want to end up the fucked up publish-or-die academia world making less money than I do now but with PhD debt.
