Inheritance tax should be 100%. It would change so many things for the better..

I make my own hotsauces and chili salsa's. You can go crazy with recipes, while it can't really go wrong. I also give them to friends who love them.

A friend of mine makes his own ciders (apple or pear). Very cheap to make with minimal investment. Easy to learn, hard to master.

I've been looking into making cheese, which apparently is also easy to do, and only requires some special cloth so low investment too.

If you're not into food/drinks; my gf crochets and knits. She learned it from youtube, and can make some cool stuff!

I was talking to a friend about this who never heard of synesthesia, and though I was messing with him. I challenged him to write 50 random words on a piece of paper to which I would add colors. He took the paper, and a month or so later he read each word, to which I was able to flawlessly respond with the corresponding color. He did my chores for that week (we were roommates at that time).

That's basically the only time it somewhat benifitted me. The rest of the time it's people asking what color their names are whenever the topic comes up :)

I have color-grapheme synesthesia. I can use this super power to.. Uhmm.. It won me a bet once? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grapheme%E2%80%93color_synesthesia

Remember kids; assless chaps don't exist, it's just chaps. If they had asses, they'd be pants!

It's good to know that in France, there is a required number of "working years" next to the retirement age. So for many people 64 is already not an option as they went to university for example. I often hear people argue that the French shouldn't complain because in country X it's age Y, but for a lot of French it's already Y or >Y (I don't know the exact details though as I'm not French, but have family there. So feel free to add or correct me)

Hmm good question.. I do like overviews with tooling/technology; what is new, what is left behind, what is considered standard at the moment, etc. It's just that, since DE is such a broad field, I think it would be better to let the field you're active in determine what to focus on.

If the goal is to provide junior DE's with some guidelines, I prefer to educate them on what would functionally work best to solve a problem, so they can make the right decision on what tool to pick (where in practice, this is likely already decided; you just work with what's there).
