I think coding would be my number one. Maybe I'm not educated on it enough to be correct, but I feel like it's a really fantastic blend of art and technology. I'd love to be able to express myself through creating with code.

Making friends.
That is legitimately shocking considering the source. You seem like someone that would make for an incredibly good friend. Obviously you can't really know someone from brief interactions, but you seem personable on SN live, and if I had to sum up the majority of the conversations I've had with you I'd call them "surprisingly human."
I'll buy you a beer at the first global SN conference tentatively being held in Wisconsin.
I just find friendships relatively unverifiable and don't have as much time as I'd like to make them. Other people have started several friendships with me in Austin that I haven't done my part to continue. One of many things I'll be trying to reconfigure during my vacation.
Maybe stop using words like "unverifiable" and "reconfigure" to describe friendships haha :)
But yeah, I find friendship hard too.
How @plebpoet befriended me: saying "so we’re friends now" in what was maybe our second conversation
Time is always the real struggle especially when you work and have a wife.l can't imagine how little time I'd have if I had children.
Do you have kids, or just the wife?
Just wife. :)
I got a vasectomy last year. One of my better financial decisions I'm sure. 😁
You’re becoming the new @birdeye21 with these intriguing questions
I like to consider him to be the old @Aardvark 😉
Jokes aside, this is just my attempt at building upon the sense of community here. I can't contribute as much as other people in terms of knowledge, but I can do my best to provide fun conversation.
Coding as a god or pilot aircraft.
Flying an aircraft would be incredibly fun I think.
It is 👀
You do that?!
I started a glider license a long time ago but I didn’t finish because I didn’t have time next to studying computer science. I wanted to do it in a club because it would be cheaper but you trade money for time. In a 6h day, you would only get once or twice into the air for 20 minutes each (?) because there were many other students (most in school age) and not many planes. They also expected you to do all the maintenance and cleaning and be social ‘n stuff. Makes sense but turned out that wasn’t for me, I’d rather pay money to be done quicker and skip all that club life.
So I postponed getting a pilot license to this year where I should have enough money and time.
But I was immediately hooked the first time I was in the air. The instructor already let me take over the controls for a few seconds.
Additionally, it was "only" a glider plane. I think a single-engine plane is even cooler where you have a throttle.
That's actually amazing. Do they let you screw around and crash in the simulator ever?
They didn’t have a simulator, it was just a small airstrip and a hangar with two glider planes and one plane with an engine iirc.
That's wild. How long will it take to get fully certified to fly?
I imagine the adrenaline you felt when he let you drive.
I've always wanted to learn to pilot. It's like learning to drive, it's a very useful knowledge.
I only felt the stick vibrate but didn't dare moving it haha
I do a lot of coding already....
.... but coding as a god would be really cool.
How does one learn such a thing?
This is a secret I want to know. Being an aircraft pilot is easier, lol.
I haven't read extensively, but I'm pretty sure you use a rib, and I think any apple is involved somehow.... and a snake?
Languages
Wouldn’t mind adding polyglot to my street cred but I only got so much time haha
How many do you speak now?
Three: English, Mandarin, Japanese.
Studied Thai for a bit, flirted with Italian too, but all that has been thrown out the window
Your English is probably better than mine 😁
Double my default zap!
Flattery works
Well double back at ya!
Playing piano
Actually if I could pick an instrument to play that would be the one.
If you can play piano you can play everything
Not really but I guess you mean reading music?
Just because you can play piano doesn’t mean you can play guitar, drums etc.
A famous player know as Lord Vinheteiro said piano it’s the most easy instrument. Start to learn today.
I wanna be able to dunk
That would be pretty fun actually.

All the languages
Electrical work would be fun. I could install new lines to the panel and expand it myself. It could also be a fun side hustle to install 40 amps and connect to a 240-volt outlet in a home’s breaker box for those who want to charge their electric vehicles quickly.
I’ve also noticed an increase in DIY battery and solar setup projects. While you can purchase an EcoFlow with 200 Wh for around $200, building one yourself sounds interesting. I might experiment with a setup this year for fun.
Electrical work scares me actually.
Mind reading and controlling...lol.
Jam on instruments (preferrably keys) and being able to improvise any melody out of my head
I would really like to have perfect pitch. Whenever I see these people who have such skill speaking all the notes, chords without needing the instrument to check, I am amazed
No one talks about making money? Running a business, investing, and so on. 🤣
Leadership is really interesting to me (though I have none at all). Being able to unite people into a team and pursue a highly challenging goal is truly impressive.
Telling stories.
I'm not talking about writing, just keeping the attention on me when I'm talking to a group of people.
This:
view on youtu.beAstral projection. Coding, flying and languages I already learned...
To speak Arabic fluently.
I would like to learn playing either Cricket or Football.
self discipline
then maybe i could piano / guitar / spanish / emacs / network stack / music theory / etc
Time management
Healing the sick like Jesus, especially children
