Being able to answer a question because you have the niche knowledge to do so

The Canadian election results. Especially if PP loses his own riding.

And he lost his riding pretty badly. Time to celebrate!
Disassembling stuff. Usually electronics but also items with cool mechanisms like a clock
I like buying cheap stuff at a yard sale that doesn’t quite work and then taking it apart to see if I can make it function again.
My greatest success was an old school oscillating fan that I’ve used for years since I got it for 50 cents.
Do you like to see how things work? I took my laptop apart once to replace the screen and it gave me so much anxiety, I was scared I wouldn’t be able to put it back together again, but I did! It wasn’t that hard.
I love learning how things work. Disassembling laptops is extremely stressful the first time (especially if it’s your only pc) but it becomes fun when your realize that they’re (usually) meant to be opened; it becomes stressful when you open items that aren’t supposed to be, like anything that uses glue as a build material. It also helps seeing things less like a magic box and more like a logic interaction between things, meaning i learn how to use them the right way. And congratulations for fixing your laptop, it always seems harder that it actually is
Thai food
There we go; all better now.

One of my favorite things about this time of year is that I can finally sit outside with my laptop and work in my garden while watching the birds. Lots of times, deer will come around too if I am being quiet and still.

In the last couple of years, seeing my toddler do new things. Any new things. Jumping, saying “cake”, eating a new food, today it was making toys talk to each other.
Overall, coding things. I’m incredibly newbie but wannabe game dev. Learning to code as I go copying tutorials and trying to tweak things and mash different ones together until it does what I want. I would spend an entire evening getting frustrated and not understanding error codes and pulling my hair out because invalid syntax and shit. Then finally it would do what I wanted it to do and I could physically feel my brain light up with buzzy happy-chemicals, big grins and jumping round the room like a kid on Xmas.
Then I’d start on the next minijob and break the whole fucking thing…
