I drink coffee on my porch with my wife so we can identify birds and say hi to all the runners and dog walkers.

Sriracha on pizza is fantastic, eating that at this second.

Be prepared to talk about class projects you’ve done, what went well, what didn’t go well and how you’d improve that next time. If you do any extracurriculars like clubs, game night, or even a frat, include that as it shows you can be social.
I have a candle scent called Jacob Elordi’s bath water
Yeah if you’re not building birdhouses and remodeling your sauna it probably doesn’t apply to you.
Not Porter Cable. I bought a PC cordless set as my first set because it was inexpensive. I was wrong, it was cheap. None of the cutting tools are square and 0 isn’t 0, you have to fiddle with it to get it square. My oscillating tool died with not many hours on it. The orbital sander works great but tears through batteries, probably a quarter the life of my DeWalt brushless tool on the same mAh size battery.
I am on DeWalt now. A prior employer gave out DeWalt tools as safety awards, and then I worked for a subsidiary of Stanley so I got steep discount on DeWalt. It is crazy how much that stuff is marked up, but it generally holds up well.
I have some heavy industrial experience with DeWalt and Milwaukee 1/2" impact wrenches. Heavy usage, using it every hour for 12 hours a day 7 days a week. The DeWalts battery rails would wear and loosen, intermittently losing electrical contact. This was a problem with the tool, not the battery, so we’d have to replace the tool. The Milwaukees were smaller and lighter for comparable torque output, so less chance of repetitive motion injury. The Milwaukee batteries eventually shook themselves to death, breaking the plastic fastening locations inside the battery case requiring replacement of the batteries. It was cheaper to replace batteries over time with Milwaukee than replace tools over time with DeWalt.
Milwaukee has a larger variety of tool than DeWalt from my experience. I’ve encountered a few things that Milwaukee makes but DeWalt doesn’t, like battery powered palm nailer.
Looks like Makita also does its own thing.

Oh man, make it a split zip file of 1.44Mb on each disk, hidden in separate places with hints. A Rick roll treasure hunt
It can be bad. I also have this superpower, I can pop my ears (open my eustachian tubes) by flexing my throat muscles. The bad part comes when this happens on its own over and over and makes me dizzy. Thankfully that’s only happened twice, but once was almost a whole day. I pop my ears much less now to try and avoid overdoing it.
It has been interesting. I wanted to teach at university so I went straight into a PhD program after my 4 year engineering degree. Found out that being a professor, at least at an ivy league school, was 10% teaching and 90% funding and politics, also did not mesh well with available projects and support, dropped out with “half a PhD”. Worked 12 years at steel mills, the first one sucked but I learned a lot, the second one really developed me into who I am now from an entrepreneurial and leadership POV. Went to business school at night and simultaneously got a Manager job at a shitty company, got fired, got an engineer job elsewhere and quickly promoted to manager where I rocked the house. Left for a senior engineer role elsewhere with better pay and work life balance and I am loving it so far.
Lots of luck, lots of effort, lots of learning through failure and success. Best thing I did was probably business school. The engineering degree is what gets me in the door but the tools I learned in getting my MBA have proven more valuable because most of the problems I need to solve are not exclusively engineering problems.
It was really weird to go from a high performer at one company to getting fired at the next. Thankfully I’ve had two great experiences since then, so I guess it was probably them not me. Getting fired messed with my concept of self worth for a bit but I have worked through that now.
Zero by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
My cars are named after the pokemon they most closely resemble. Ferroseed and Snorlax. They each have a sticker of said pokemon.
Music is subjective, I like some of the albums you listed, but I agree that the 1001 list is trash full of terrible albums. I made it through 142 before giving up.
Old school blink (Cheshire cat, dude ranch) Mark and Tom had a good interplay, and we’re each suited to the songs they sang. They may still do that but I can’t listen to anything newer than Mark, Tom, and Travis show
Homelessness is evidence of a failure or lack in our social safety net. Providing housing is a necessary part of rehabilitation, but we also need to work on fixing what got them homeless in the first place.
Meatloaf!
Mom is cool, super accepting. My dad is a weirdo trumper. My MIL is also accepting of many but is a bit racist and not yet accepting of trans folks.
All the grands were worse. The surviving one isn’t overtly so but is passive aggressive about it, so better than my dad at least.
Here’s a list of things I used to jerk it to
