They did reply in this thread, though to another commenter so maybe the notification might not have gone to you, not sure how they work for threads you post.
But so you don't have to go search for it, they said:
Finding the area under a function in calculus. Super cool to me, for some reason. Imagine trying to make a small grid and counting out the area under a curve - you'd still be pretty inaccurate and it'd take forever.
(I'm the mod) This!! Please re-direct to KbinMeta, that is the correct community for such threads. Appreciate all of you for bringing this up, we've taken measures and will continue to do so to avoid this moving forward in the future.
When I take on new hobbies, I have to resist making an app for them.
Sure, making apps for your hobbies can be a great way to come up with something that solves a real problem, but the issue is that it takes away time spent simply doing said hobby.
I seek out hobbies to diversify my life, not to make money or do programming 24/7. Early in my career that was great, but over time I realize that there’s more to life than software development.
Except for food, I tend to date and initial anything I open. Pedialyte--initial and dated. Medicine--initial and dated. It's definitely something that has to be done at my job, but is also kinda helpful at home. Oh, that isopropyl alcohol has been open for 2 years, better get a new one.
The amount of Excel/spreadsheets I use in my hobbies and "leisure" time is massive. Otherwise, it's mostly about having surrendered to the presence of online ads.
Looking at and inspecting doubleseams (can-end interface). To a lesser extent just being interested in packaging. It can take a very long time to shop.
Also, I’ve spent time with QC people that never erase or scribble. “Single strike though and initial” on non work documents.
As an ex-retail worker, yeah, lmao, I had to clench my fists and not re-hang the shirt on the floor when I was shopping yesterday. It took courage.
Couldn't keep myself from correctly (re)organizing the notebooks, though. My excuse is I was already in the aisle and they won't sell well if nobody can find them.
Worst consequence, I would name medical training and all the time spent learning the different body quadrants, how if the patient is in front of you, their left side is your right, etc. etc.
It took me a few weeks to really get that down and stop messing up my own notes. Now that I have it down, it is permanent.
I can no longer tell my left from my right. Ask me to raise my right hand and I will invariably raise my left without thinking, and I visibly have to think about it to work it out. I am a damn adult.
Thank god I can't afford a car right now, or I'd wind up in Arkansas.
I learned to repeatedly check for fork truck traffic before crossing any intersection and pause before walking around blind corners cause of working at a large assembly plant. I find myself doing it everywhere including grocery stores crossing aisles. Could have a worse one, at least this one's a good safety practice.
