Mine‘s getting so accustomed to cold showers that I a) absolutely do not mind cold water for swimming etc. anymore and b) could not enjoy warm or hot showers anymore. They just weren’t nice at all.

I can give up almost anything save for breathing, eating, and my dogs.

I can guess the right socket/wrench I need from looking at the bolt 90% of the time

i spent a month learning to shower in cold only water just to do it. Much respect for you being able to maintain that i was quite happy to get back on the warm water after the month was over!

I'm pretty good at... just about everything. With some rare exceptions, just about every new thing I try, I pick up really quickly, and am pretty good at it. Ice skating, volleyball, stand-up comedy, acting, dancing, singing, gymnastics, hockey, rugby, capoeira, woodworking, drawing, painting, sculpture, chemist, surgery, gardening, swimming/diving... Just a whole bunch of random stuff that I've had the opportunity to try and... yeah, I'm pretty good at 'em.

I've often thought about being the subject of some sort of "Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe" style show except they challenge me with new tasks/activities to see if they can find something I legitimately suck at.

I have two uvuulas. The regular one, and one underneath my tongue.

I tried to buy Bitcoin at 3000$ (though I was stopped due to regulations as I was a minor)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I used about a hundred bitcoins (we pooled them in a previous company from mining them) to get a go kart session and a pizza party. It was around 2013-2014 me thinks.
