I haven’t watched TV in decades. Wise choice.
I also should really cut back on Twitter time. There’s just so many cool graphics programmers to follow.
There used to be 3AM abstract shows with music, zero talk, whole night:
Not anymore… Eventually, I found a music-only alternative:

Twitter for the memes is fun, too many reposts though.

For me, coding and painting are leisure. It heals my soul when I produce something, no matter how little I produce in a day. Pick relatively difficult problems to solve, work at them. Sometimes it takes longer than it did when you were 20-something, and I don’t think that there’s anything that you can do about that. Just keep your brain active as you age — it may ward off dementia in general.I think my coding is much faster now than when i was 20. (approaching 50)
But my guitar playing definitively became slower, although i kept playing regularly.
So maybe it was a wise choice to not become a rock star. :D
LCD is somewhat an improvement, watching a few classics in 4K is quite nice I admit.
CRT is only 240P but the level of detail is still impressive as of today!
As of making music, I stopped dreaming a while ago… But as a hobby, definitely!
When something needs doing, I do it immediately.
I've always been this way.
This practice has helped me a lot in my life.
keeps the backlog of issues to do manageable.

I agree… thing is, for instance this week, I totally lost track due to external factors and couldn't reply earlier.
Sometimes one gets overwhelmed by information to the extent that it forgets the initial goal it planned… 🤣

Also, keep dreaming.
Yes, that is a vital thing! Although society constantly slaps you in the face, no, I haven't abandoned! 😁
I am not healthy. I am almost 50 years old, and I am dependent on the effects of Clozapine for my schizophrenia.

me too, but for Bipolar 1. But this is the most stable I've ever been.
For me, it's worth the sacrifice.
A colleague and I are writing a paper on the effects of Clozapine in the long term. Once it's published, I'll post the URL! Very promising results. ;)
