    Right now?. The Skinner meme of looking down and saying “Pathetic” to Trump’s request for eggs.

    As an ignorant American I’m saddened to say, very little. One thing that comes to mind is Simo Häyhä.

    I cant forget Linus Torvalds. The third most influential person in my life behind Thompson and Ritchie. Without these three I would never have found one of my greatest joys, coding.

    Stories from my dad about a Finish violin maker who used to hitchhike everywhere dad used to give frequent rides to.

    Power metal, rallying, forests, snow, reindeer, personal space, a language with a very musical-sounding rhythm and grammar that I don’t understand in the slightest, and that one video of a man swearing at a bear because it’s in his garden
