    You forgot to mention how incredibly handy they are when randomly stopping to collect a few exciting plants that you see on the roadside to share with your field botany class.

    Check the weather before leaving for the day. Nothing worse than lugging a coat around on a freakishly warm winter day.

    ...except getting caught in a horrible blizzard. It is always better to have more clothing than less clothing. Bungee cords make rolling and stowing said clothes on your backpack super easy.

    If you're in Don's garage and he asks you to get him a beer, open the fridge from the side opposite the handle or the door won't open.

    When something appears to be too good to be true, it usually is.

    Don't give anyone control over your emotions. No one should have that kind of control over you.

    Stick with your passion, even if it's only part-time.

    Keep chronologies of things that are important to you so you can track progress over the years.

    ...

    Organize your workspace before you attempt any new project. Clutter will screw up your flow.

    ...

    Selling the accumulated extraneous bits of crap related to your hobby is incredibly liberating.

    Don't let co-workers pull into the rumor mill.
    It's wasted time and energy.
    Someone is always at the other end of that shitty stick.

    Lift with your legs, not your back. Unless it's back day at the gym, then forget what I just said.

    Whenever possible it is often advisable to lift with your brain and not your body.

    When someone else is not possible, fuck with your brain and not your body.

    Calluses are nature's way of telling you to stop masturbating so much.

    Is this in reference to Plan9 or just general advice?

    In either case , it applies.

    That and my favorite band is from the '70s.

    ...

    Why does everybody on TFP assume I'm a teenager?

    ...aside from my grammar and overall post content.​
