I tell people to keep an eye on their diet. Once you hit your early 20s that whole teen “I can eat a whole pizza and be fine” is gone. It is incredibly easy to go over your calorie needs in a week and after a year you’ve gained 2-3 lbs or more. Before you know it by 30 or 40 you are 50+ lbs over and obese and now you are struggling to lose it. It creeps up on you.

Forgive yourself and others but learn from those experiences. As a saying goes "Resentment is like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die.”

As my father who traveled constantly for work said all big cities and airports start to look alike.

Grow some herbs and such. It is fun going through a recipe and thinking “Oh, I can run outside for this ingredient.” I like to tell my wife “In a way we are eating our lawn.” lol

Get away from tech on a regular basis. Allow yourself to be in your own thoughts occasionally. I think constantly being tied to phones and the internet is killing creativity because we never have those day dreaming moments that lead to inspiration.

Don’t spend huge chunks of your life on video games. They are a fun distraction but at the end of the day is it just bits on some server that could be shut down at any moment. Get off of the dopamine treadmill.

If you need to learn one rule it is “Do unto others as you’d have them do unto you”

My wife got it on top of her foot from wearing sandals for decades

Woman in tropical countries cover themselves in very light long sleaved tops. I bought one in Vietnam for my wife.

Wear a wide brimmed hat too. You’ll look jaunty while protecting your head.

Don’t fry yourself or use tanning beds. Getting your skin scraped down to a weeping ulcer is not fun and even that is much better than what you could get.

So many people I know who after college ended up living on crap. At best they only knew how to boil pasta. I got a cookbook on my favorite cuisine at the time and started trying all sorts of recipes when I first lived on my own. I tell my wife “If you can follow instructions you can cook” and she said “I hate following instructions.” lol

Please wear them at shows. Coming home with your ears feeling like you are underwater and ringing is a sign you’ve damaged them. I don’t know why they insist on making shows so damn loud.

Do one adventure trip where you are out of your comfort envelope, pushing yourself physically, etc. Don’t make it a booze/party trip.

Every dollar you sock away in your 20s is worth so much more than waiting until you are in your 50s

FB is the worst for this when they stick a link to another person in your comment. Stop trying to force me to link people all the time.

I was harassed at one job for reading a book during lunch

2061? The plot looks odd and Clarke’s forecast for South Africa really was a swing and a miss. The plot for 3001 is really bad with the painful trope of “We just used a computer virus!”.

Dune, I spent my time flipping to the glossary every 5 minutes. Ulysses by James Joyce was even worse, I had to keep a website open that explained the barrage of references to me for almost every page.

The idea of ownership is being destroyed

The weight matters too. EVs are notoriously heavy. You have to haul around the batteries whether they are full or not.

“However, due to their high production costs, these batteries’ initial application will be limited to the “super premium” EV segment.”

I’m not sure I want the gov and huge amounts of my tax dollars going to operate federal gov chip fab plants. On the other hand I get your point that it is so heavily subsidized it is practically a de facto situation anyway.
