Some musings on what Søren Kierkegaard once said: "Life can only be understood by looking backward, but it must be lived looking forward."

I have learned that humidity is a temperature bull sh!t modifier. I lived in the Rocky Mountains in the US for many years. Colorado, Montana and New Mexico so when my Girlfriend in Germany said "It's cold as balls. It's 1 here!" I scoffed.
But the truth is I was in error. I thought because Colorado and Montana can get to -30 ( these are in Celsius btw ) that I was safe. But Colorado is practically an Alpine Desert. High humidity is like 25%. Like it's snowed in July where I live before, CLEARLY these people can't handle the cold. My friend from Georgia ( the State ) said "Noooo that's real cold at 100% humidity". I once again scoffed.
I packed my bags with a few sweaters and a light coat to move to Germany. I only had money and time for two suitcases and these pitiful German winters were nothing to my hardened Colorado winter exterior. Somewhere I heard a rooster crow. I'd erred a third time.
It turns out humidity is bull sh!t. When it's cold at 100% humidity it 100 times colder. When it's hot at 100% it's 100 times hotter. By November I needed to buy my first winter coat to handle the 3 degrees it was outside. I'd go out in just a sweater with that in Colorado.
To be clear Wind Chill is a direct subtraction. Debuff is manageable with a wind or rain coat.
Humidity is a percentage based debuff. In ranges of 100% you are taking stacking cold or heat damage regardless of protective gear. Mitigate best with short shorts and tank tops in heat and Coats, layers, and cuddles in cold.

Found that old quote. When I was featured in one of the coffee trade mags around 2010, I talked about how I was constantly learning new things and encouraged others to do the same. Here's my direct quote:
"Those who are coffee enthusiasts, pros, baristas: never be afraid of having your opinion changed on coffee. It means you're learning."
I have to constantly remember that rule myself.

Today, something odd happened to me, slightly concerning but which, fortunately, ended on a positive note and with deep reflection.
They're doing some renovations in my office, so I sat down at a café table to work. I had with me an old HP laptop running FreeBSD. Ferrara is generally a peaceful city, but lately, some groups of youngsters have been causing trouble, going around bothering people, and in extreme cases, starting fights.
Today, it was my turn.
As they roamed around trying to provoke others, two of them approached me and began touching my laptop. They mocked me, jesting (not so playfully) about how ancient my computer was and how "they needed a computer," picking it up and examining it. Politely, I told them I needed it for work and it had all my files, so I couldn't just hand it over. It was broad daylight, but no one else was around at that moment. One of them noticed something unusual - "Where's the Windows menu? Is this Linux?"
"No, it's FreeBSD. Have you ever heard of it?" Their surprised expressions said it all. The entire group gathered, sat on the ground, and listened intently for about 15 minutes. I stalled, hoping for other people to arrive, so I wasn't alone.
Eventually, they got up, told me I was "old" but cool, and that they would immediately try out the BSDs (they were particularly intrigued by OpenBSD's security features - which they didn't grasp fully but saw as "professional hacker stuff"). They gave me a high-five, peacefully, without bothering anyone further.
Now, I'm left wondering: did they leave me alone because they learned something intriguing from me, because other people arrived, or are they just bored teenagers causing issues to pass the time - and got engrossed in something new, hence shifting their focus temporarily? All I know is I was relieved to get back to my office and from there, hear the rain outside, which usually deters these boys from troubling others.
I can say that today, FreeBSD saved me from very different problems than it usually does 😃

experience is what allows you to recognize a mistake when you're making it again
After a trip to visit my parents, who are in their 80s, I want to tell everyone:
Use the 'good' plates and cutlery. Don't save it for later, use it now!
Wear the handmade hat or scarf, someone loved you enough to invest the time in it and it cheers them immensely when it is used.
Visit your favourite places.
Play the music you love.
Ask for what you need, no-one else can read your mind. If you want hard-copy photos, please say so and you will be given them.

In Improv, when a team mate makes a statement or declaration about the scene you are in together. They are giving you a gift.
The "Yes and" is the act of accepting the gift and adding too it. Building upon the gift you have been given to create something even better.
At “failure junctions” in your life, you will lose friends. Your network will change. It is supposed to. Through the learning of your lesson, your polarity will change; you‘ll fall out of alignment with some of your friends (maybe even family).

All around the world, precipitation falls in random places at random times.
Some places get a surplus of this life-enhancing stuff; some places end up with a lack.
Farmers came up with irrigation as a way of distributing water fairly.
"Advantage" falls in rain-like patterns.
"Privilege" is me with advantages that I forget to share.
Remember that no one person chooses the time, place, or situation of their birth.
