That if you know how to code, you understand how computers work and understand really complicated math concepts.

It took me way longer to realize an article about how Alaskan airlines was giving passengers a pass to bring your own pocket tools on one of their flights that it really should have. My only real excuse was that the site wasn't the onion.

It can be, but I think the song is more meant to be a wake up call to anyone in that situation. It took me a long time to realize it, but kinda is what makes me occasionally come back to it. Would heavily recommend the Emergency and Me album, kinda stands the test of time.

Spider in the snow by Dismemberment Plan. It's a song about not really getting close to anyone and watching your life go by. Why? Because I probably have seen myself in it a few times in my life.

Welding. Just useful for occasional projects, and would be nice to know I could weld something if necessary.

What budget?

My luck I'd delete what I wrote to rewrite it and forget something.

Don't forget braces {} if you have an especially rambling sub thought.

I'd normally agree, but the sheer necessity of desalination in the next couple of decades might actually make a dent in this issue, as the downstream effects might actually affect some profit margins. The real issue is scaling, as most of the "revolutionary" desalination headlines are generally only slightly more efficient, but often have issues staying operational for long periods of time. This might have a bit of an edge on those (being completely passive, and already trying to work on the issue of salt buildup clogging the system), but I got the feeling from reading the article that they hadn't figured out whether or not they could scale it beyond (essentially) a basic water collection service for very small communities, at least not yet.

I usually carry around $30 with my cards, if I'm budgeting it can help make there be a limit as to what I can buy without having to rationalize my purchase to myself. Also, nice to have if needed, even if that isn't everyday.

Community college is a great place to start, allows you to get your toes wet without too high stakes. Speaking as a software engineer, don't worry to much about the adhd stuff, there are a lot of us in the tech field (being able multi-task well and hyperfocus on something we are somewhat interested in are actually pretty valuable in his field). I'd probably advocate for making sure you adhere to a strict schedule for a bit when first starting out, makes it easier to not burnout on school long term (it's hard I know, but once you establish those little habits school stays more managable).

Or maybe planting a bunch of trees and properly managing them might. We know there is definitely a huge need for them (at the very least as a carbon sink and cooling the surroundings), and that there will be issues keeping them from from having fires in future, but the benefits to planting a billion (even if they very clearly are planting that many as a bit of an attention getter) are numerous and can outweight the risk.
