A lot of it has been family and college. The college I attended has a research group that allows students to do internships.

The college also runs job fairs every one in a while. Those kinds of things I huge.

Conventions of any kind as well, where you can speak to people in booths, or even any of the other attendees.

My first ever job was running a wood chipper under my uncles tree business. Did that almost every weekend for a number of years. Even sometimes in the winter. I wasn’t even a teenager when I first started this job.

Second job was working in a warehouse at a company my mom worked at. They really needed weekend help.

My third job was doing landscaping over the summer at a smallish company where my brother in law worked at. The owner loved to hire students for cheap.

Fourth was a few software development internships ran by a research group at my college. I had a friend who was part of the group and vouched for me.

My current job is my first true career job as a software engineer. The project manager from one of the internships I had actually got a job as CTO at this company. Offered me a junior position there out of college. Been there almost 6 years.

I have applied to places where I certainly would have needed interviews, but I was never offered an opportunity.

To make this even more awesome is that I’ve interviewed candidates myself at my current job for junior positions.

I’ve never had to do a job interview. 5 different jobs, all word of mouth.

Used to use android, but switched to iPhone when the 12 came out. I simply don’t care about the flexibility anymore… I used to tinker a lot, but now I personally don’t find it amusing. And even if I did want to tinker, the Shortcuts app provides a lot of cool features. iOS is refined, sleek, and I enjoy the UI. AirPlay works miles better than anything on android. CarPlay is a better experience. The ecosystem just works. Apple Maps street view is available in places google maps isn’t. I’m currently on the 15 pro max, and the design and feel of the phone is awesome. Probably a handful of other things that don’t immediately come to mind.

We pay for things with plastic.

Fuel.

I will need about 15 years worth of home office allowance to be able to afford one of those. That doesn’t even include shipping and taxes.

Robot chicken. Now, I usually have on some kind of space documentary, creepypasta or some long gameplay videos.

I’ve completed GTA 5 a handful of times, so I’m hoping that because it’s a rockstar game, I’ll be able to finish it… But only time will tell.

Anytime I finish a game is a pretty big achievement. Lots of games I play and just either get bored of or forget about. Stray, Cyberpunk, Subnautica, Outer Wilds, etc… I just can’t seem to finish games. I’m now trying to play RDR2, so hopefully I can complete it. Hogwarts Legacy is the latest game I’ve fully completed (last year), but I’m a huge fan of Harry Potter, so I feel like that helped.

As someone who likes bird photography and spent half his life skateboarding, this is such a badass photo.

I tried to rephrase his question in my head, and I ended up with “Why do not teeth degenerate.”

I need sleep.

Hoonigan made a video on a twin engine MX3 a few years back. Not quite 4, but it’s a cool car nonetheless.

These are usually things you already have at home. You don’t even have to toast it like the waffles. Just pour the syrup on the bread and away you go.

Slice of bread and table syrup (not maple syrup). Super quick, sweet snack. I call it the poor man’s pancake.

What if you shift into an inanimate object? Do you just no longer exist? Can you change back?

Hmm, that’s a great option. Although, I’m not a big audiobook/podcast fan because I feel I need to concentrate on it to understand what’s going on, and that’s not particularly useful when driving/working/etc, but I may give it a shot in the future!

Harry Potter. All of them. I’m currently reading the books, and I know that when I’m done I’m going to be so disappointed that there’s nothing left to experience the first time.
