Successfully baking with sourdough 1-2 times a week. From the top of my head, some things that has elevated my results...

Once you have a starter, keep feeding it with organic rye grain flour, you might need to try different brands. Bake in a cast iron pot, with lid initially, the crust will be unreal.

Late reply… Self taught. YouTube has a ton of resources (recommend Pianote and Matthew Cawood). Learn some music theory basics, if you have the time study sheet music, you will understand what you are doing on a deeper level. I found it motivating to not only play simple pieces in the beginning but also harder ones that you enjoy listening to. They will be reallly hard initially but you will improve!

Under $100: A second hand piano for $80. Learning an instrument is a deeply satisfying experience if you stick to it (as well as frustrating and confusing). Literally no end to how much you can learn. It has given me hours of “in the zone” moments, so well needed in a stressful world. I also see (hear?) music in a different light and can understand it better.

They also emphasised parents’ behaviour, it’s not just about the child’s behaviour

> parents must set an example to children when it comes to screen use. “As parents you are a role model.”

I recently dusted off piles of CDs from my wardrobe to put up for sale. Was really chocked that they go for around €30-50 each, one sold for €90! It is mostly semi rare electronic music from the 90s so I would not expect the same from pop/rock. But do check out your old CDs laying around, could be worth quite a bit

OSM has the potential to be the open, available source of truth for so much of our data. From there, we can simply build curated UIs that displays what we need (keep in mind that OSM is not a “map”). Opening hours for example. Today this info is either on a webpage or google maps. Sometimes contradicting each other, where a Facebook status update has the most accurate info.

My TI-83 Plus calculator from around 1999. Still use it today, almost a quarter of a century later!

Thanks, this was exactly what I was looking for!
