After working in IT since 1999, I can count on my dads lefthand fingers the times I've had to solder a graphics card.

PS: My dad lost his left arm in 1996

That scientific papers are free, you just have to circumvent the publisher.

I just grab whatever gets a scene release on my preferred piracy site, provided that it does not involve superheroes or something else that has saturated screens for the past 15 years. And when I find myself on an airplane I look through what I have on my portable USB drive and pick something, mostly at random, because I like knowing as little as possible about a movie before watching it, to the point where I consider trailers to be spoilers.

There's this group that provides Christmas meals for people who otherwise wouldn't have one. Homeless people et al.

It's pretty cheap and easy to donate - send an SMS to a number and get billed a small sum on the next phone bill, and the cost is enough to cover said meal for two people.

My work phone bill is sent and automatically paid my employer, so I make sure they donate to the same cause. I've been doing it for years and to this day no employer has gone on the record not in support of the cause.

It could be a good vehicle, if it was built by someone else.

The past few years have revealed that while Tesla have the tech, they lack the basic precision manufacturing that other automakers mastered decades ago.
