Thanks for adding this additional context!

IIRC, 42 is around the age where the window closes, at least, that's what my physician told me. Regardless, if that gap has closed, it may be some consolation to bring this up to your friends and relations who are on the fence about having kids. Everybody's chuffed to tell others about how they made the right choice for them. Rarely, does one hear from another with the courage to say "I changed my mind, and wish I'd taken another path", particularly in the having-kids domain. When I hear your comments above and think "Is this suffering rooted in a desire to contribute to others?" If so, consider telling those you love and respect about your choice and its consequences. Especially tell those who have the potential to have kids - and be a support system in their lives.

Related: I got their moonlander last year, and it's so good, I don't want type on anything else. Ever again.

This may be a bit of a different scale, but pay attention to how many lawyers are in the company. If the amount dramatically increases for some unknown reason, it's probably a good time to depart.

Yep, nobody got presented awards for the "First World War".

I was never "built for" computer science. I just did it, and loved it, and continue to cultivate my skills.

What worked well for me was pretty simple: If I got too chuffed with what I completed, I'd meditate for 5-10 mins to ground myself, then look for the next task. If I got really distracted and found myself unable to keep my attention, meditation also helped with that. To keep things on-track, I recommend a meditation app or guided meditations on youtube so you aren't relying on your own burnt-out self-discipline.

Was this the one where you started in a jungle, and you had to use a first-gen mindstorms kit to explore Inca-like ruins? If so, yes - and that game was epic. Loved it to bits.

EDIT: I think I may be thinking of something else - regardless, found a flash archive of the old games here: http://biomediaproject.com/bmp/lmp/games/lego-game-archive-c...

Cool concept, but doesn't consider planets, or nebulae, or other space objects that can block light. I have no expertise to speak with authority on this, so please, weigh in on this consideration. But wouldn't this break the "homogeneity" assumption?

EDIT: Thinking about this further, could you make approximation rules about the things that block light, too? e.g. By the nature of a star's mass, you can assume that some opaque object is likely between Earth and any given star with some likelihood?

EDIT2: Thanks to everybody for the replies - this really helps clarify! Cheers!

That's great to know - thanks!

Casual project follower here: I really want to use this device for remoting into other machines, so I can use my work computer via Simula - does the native Simula OS allow for this?
