    1 Person complimented my English, and 5-10 others have either asked if I spoke Spanish or tried to speak Spanish to me. I've done a lot of traveling :)

    Since March I've spent an average of 6 hours a day on my computer, most of that is school or video games. Maybe an hour on my phone. And maybe another hour watching Netflix.

    Before the virus I worked crazy hours (by choice), and I was probably on my computer for 1-2 hours a day, mostly for video games. I was so productive on days off, and I was flying through my apprenticeship hours. It's weird to think that I miss working 70 hour weeks.

    I bought the cheapest mig I could off of craigslist, and I sold the welder for the same price once I finished all the welding. I had very little welding experience beforehand, but I learned quite a lot doing the project. I am great a learning through my mistakes, so you can bet I made lots of bad welds before I made any good welds.

    I wouldn't call myself a very creative person, but lately I have tried to branch out a bit.

    Mostly out of stupidity I decided to turn my friends rusty BMW sedan into a rusty BMW truck. My initial goal was a $500CAD project that would be driven 2 weeks, but it ended up twice that cost, and I drove it for 2 months before giving it away. I didn't know anything about welding, painting, or bodywork, but now I can safely say that I know almost nothing.

    I have two suggestions! First is a turmeric latte; it's not expensive and it isn't caffeinated. Here is a recipe.

    My second suggestion is a London Fog aka Earl Grey Latte. I consider it my favorite dessert drink, because I load it up with extra sugar :). It's a typical latte, except with a teabag of Earl Grey or Earl Grey syrup instead of a shot of espresso.

    I like the overall aesthetic, but I LOVE that black car. On the side it says V-TECH which probably means that the car has a V engine, and that is probably a rarity in this future. I am so excited...

    Why don't you expect CDPR to make another good game? Did you not get into any of the Witchers?

    Fortunately the best discussion is on tildes anyway :) I'm sure it'll be up soon, though.

    I am envious of people who are artistic in the traditional ways. I wish I had better art classes in K-12, I can hardly play the triangle, let alone paint a picture.
