don't some people get pussy from playing guitar or something.
boomers learned cars on their own. or their dads definitely did. the old equivalent to Nerds are to some extent these guys who know exactly what and where a water pump is who kept society running with like no plane crashes for 30 years who weren't obsessed with Computers but instead became obsessed with air traffic control or whatever. idk I spend too much time on the internet or irl but it's an odd juxtaposition between Nerds Engineering things at random and for free and updating github versus like idk irl I just see idiots on route 280 causing Fatalities on their way to drive Nowhere.

not anymore. you would have to buy a car with god knows what money and modern cars are impossible to work on anyways and just start tinkering with it on your parents front lawn. and guitar isnt getting you anywhere now.
libs killed chemistry when they banned everything so kids couldnt buy jack shit to fuck with chem when young. that and big pharma taking all the low hanging fruit and industrializing discovery in the field.

sad to hear. i had a chemistry set when i was a kid (millenial) and it was kinda gay and nerdy even for me, a future poaster. or maybe i was Loser class and not Nerd so i was actually just too Dumb for it

I've spent the last 11 months genetically engineering a microbe that lives in the rhizosphere around plant roots and removes heavy-metal contamination from soil and groundwater. It targets lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic, chromium, a by binding and converting them into insoluble, non-bioavailable forms that stay locked in the subsoil and stop polluting groundwater
It multiplies and keeps working in place, so you can remediate contaminated ground without excavating. Most of my work has gone into making the strain survive high contaminant loads and stay active at colder temperatures. I've fed it basically every study I can find and it has made a few breakthroughs and I'm just using the $20 a month plan
This can all be patented and licensed to mines, industrial sites, farms, municipalities, and environmental remediation companies.
