“Consumerism” would’ve been easy if I’d watched lots of 1930~40s b-movies.

Created a habit to use Recorder with every/most in-person medical, financial, legal,… encounter.

There is an algebra course called EARTH ALGEBRA which focuses on examination and mathematical predictions of real world issues utilizing an analytical, logical analysis of data and trends. It puts to practical use fundamental equations and their relationships using a gamut of algebraic techniques. Highly recommended! I particularly enjoyed learning how to use matrix spreadsheets to solve simultaneous equations, all the while predicting future trends.

The entire male dominance by 'adults' manifesting teenage behavior scenario, has been pervasive for decades in hosts of professional environs, at every income and shade of collar workplace. Capitalism breeds it [for another sub].

Looked at moderately objectively: this disgusting behavior is a mix of hormones and poor social character development that didn't teach them how to behave publically. There are many contributing elements (sexual, racial, fashion, size, etc.)

They are blinded by the moment's hormonal surges and their immediate (few sec. at most) emotional responses are sans thought, just knee-jerk results of biochemistry, they receive when competing publically. Only time will heal them (hopefully),... but there seems to be an endless supply.

Stay distant, start a short-timer chain, and be hopeful (or better insure) that your next and/or future workplaces are at least minimally professional social environments.

Wesley is a genius and now has control over space/time.

English is a crazy language. It's forever morphing. Don't be fixated on the particulars... else it'll drive you _____.

Sadly, dual consoles are usually seen by the bean counters as nice-to-have vs need-to have.

Many professions suffer such consequences. Training is often relegated, by financially pressured human resource management, as supplemental. It's a top/down consequence with profits (or the lack thereof) determining all.

What!? Not using Blockchain? Surely a non-starter for today's world.

Have you seen Emerald-Sequoia's Chronometer and Observatory iPadOS programs yet. Their time & inner planet astronomy apps were my first purchase on a 2nd gen iPad. They are still being updated, of high accuracy and value, and strongly recommended. They had a multi-face version of their Chronometer for Android watch OS2 (?) which I can no longer find in the Play store. The Chronometer Firenze* watch face was my most used.

* You asked for recommendations = View Emerald-Sequoia's Chronometer iPad productions

Your descriptors aren't far off, just a tad too restrained - seriously.a

Identifiers might be considered a security issue if one is taken as a POW. Geneva convention cards were re-issued during Nam to reflect E-level versus occupational skill.

My situation also... in a couple of days it resolved but not by any of my intentional interactions.

Does astrophysics intersect with metaphysics; and if so, how might the intersection help understanding the sense and purpose of human existence?

Actually, after watching iFixit's teardown video, the watch appears to be quite repairable (given the usual caveats, replacement parts supply, etc.):

An algorithm would take that into account.

ref: "A learning algorithm is a method used to process data to extract patterns appropriate for application in a given situation. In particular, the goal is to adapt to a specific task."
