Very much so! There’s this other person who uses the same name online and whenever I sign up for a new service there’s a chance he’s been there first and I have to resort to an alternative. In my head we have a friendly feud about this but I’m not sure he’s noticed yet

The scientific method, we’ll be able to extract most information of the world around with just that and time

I’d like to lean in a different direction, educational games.
