@evan I was retired for 5 years and didnβt miss it. Now Iβm back, and AI like what AIm doing but itβs sure different now π€ π
@evan other way around. If I wasn't doing it for a job I'd have the energy for my own projects, which I otherwise do not.
@evan Yes, but I can't afford the kind of hardware I work on (I'm in sensor development) so I wouldn't be "working" so much as "playing with toys" at unless I'm a millionaire in this alternate universe.
@evan "no, but" because I need some time to reset. I used to love doing this stuff, but it being my job has destroyed my love of it.
@evan
Brother, Please, my dear evan , we have nothing to cook today or tomorrow. π
Is it really too much to ask for some food? Please help us get a meal for my family. I donβt want us to go to sleep tonight not knowing what weβll eat tomorrow. π
Why ignore my suffering π
@evan Yes. I've been tinkering with computers and electronics my entire life. If I didn't have to worry about money, then my current job (programming robots) is what I would be doing anyway. (Although, I'd probably be a bit lazier about it...)
@evan yes because i have been addicted to computers since 1977 when I was 13 years old π #SadButTrueLOLz
@roland That's not sad at all!
@evan It is because i am not handy w/anything hardware computer or not; i have failed at bicycle repair, household maintenance, assembling ikea furniture etc. Most computer people I know can do one or more of these things without problems. I can't; even with YouTube videos, books & manuals. If it doesn't have a keyboard I can't cope π Which I think is both ROFL & sad because you know I would like more life skills π I can cook 25 dishes, bicycle and cross country ski but that's about it :-)
