You say pickerel and know about Goldeye. Manitoba or Minnesota or similar? ;)

That would qualify as work according to the US gov. Because by doing these chores, you are potentially causing someone to not need to pay a nanny or whatever. Be careful how you define work -- you don't need to be directly paid.

I hate fishing games. Just chance games to waste time. But I also hate fishing so...

While we're on that topic, Negash Coffee (Niverville, MB) is an interesting one. They are locally owned in Niverville. But the owners are immigrants to Canada and their family runs their actual plantation in Ethiopia. So it's vertically integrated with known sourcing.

The orbital mechanics thing is probably the most important. The delta-v to land isn't that bad once you're in orbit, but even getting to orbit is crazy. Also, you'd need a retro rocket for landing that could withstand the temperatures -- which would be a super interesting engineering problem. It already is for the orbital probes, but they don't have to carry enough fuel to land and have different mass budgets.

Yeah, if you do it often enough, it'd get so routine as to be super boring. But at least you get to think a bit about it if each case is distinct -- as opposed to assembly line construction.

Honestly I should have a plastic cover for it -- like computers in the 1980s! But mostly I just take the air duster to it before starting, and make sure the rails are not binding. If they are, I swab them out and add a little lithium grease.

The blue stuff is Canadian Tire Mastercraft. Which is likely different from the US Mastercraft brand. Not sure what Kobalt is.

The only real tools in the photo are the mini metal lathe by Proxxon and a higher end 3D printer from Makergear.

I'm going to Chile. It's going to be awesome.

Sometimes you need to transfer there to go somewhere else.

On the windows gaming machine, I let it do its own thing with UAC clickthroughs basically just notifying me when something is making system changes.

On Linux, I have a separate root password and use some combination of su, kdesu, yast, or whatever, but I never log in as root directly. I don't game that much on Linux (that machine is lacking in graphics horsepower), but things like EU4 work well enough.

Important questions. Does Fudge ever eat fudge? Maybe the cat should be call Cheese!

I want to take him home and train him to hunt my fruit flies.

He can read?

The wait at the door was over an hour when we tried to go again. But Poke Mono is in the same parking lot and is a good local plan B. :)
