As a 7 year-old in rural Manitoba I went cross country skiing on an old rail road track in town. I got to the edge of town and just kept going. I always knew where I was and just enjoyed exploring. I eventually got to some cross roads that I recognized as being close to a friends house, so I just headed to my friends house. I ended up going about 7-10km on this ski trip. My parents ended up getting a surprise phone call from my friends mom tell them where I was 😆

Electronics Technician and self taught programmer. My career has been building equipment to test locomotive traction motors and alternators. Lots SQL and PLC programming, electrical drawings, web programming for reports.

I use autodesk products and other electrical engineering industrial products that require using windows. I’m mostly happy with being able to live in the mingw environment provided by git bash. Gives me most of what I need for a POSIX environment.

To switch to Linux full time I’d need to change jobs, lol.

Yep, I have one of those. Model MFC-L2710DW. Been rock solid.

Yep, I play 3+ hours a day most days when I was really into it. Did that for close to 10 years. Then on and off for the next 10. So ya, it’s somewhere in that ballpark

Unreal tournament 99. Probably more than 10,000 hours. I used to play it so so much. Nothing else even comes close

I like to split tasks/genres between browsers.

Chrome: day job Gmail, calendar etc, and other work related research Vivaldi: web dev testing Firefox: everything else

Firefox on mobile

Good to see Merc back in the fight! Everyone has a long way to go to catch Redbull, but still makes it more interesting.

The Yuki penalty was bs. Zhou tried to push, and didn’t have enough to make it through, but it was clean racing until the appeal to the stewards. Really poor call there.

I really appreciate the team game that Alonso is playing. I really feel like he is trying to make stroll a better and more relaxed driver. He’s like the supportive uncle.
