Relax, show a willingness to learn and you’ll be ok.
I got my start working for university IT and made it all the way to a CS Ph.D. and into industry.
Edit: and get good sleep! It’s nearly midnight on the West coast, get as much good quality sleep as you can.
That’s not how you write off a corporate jet from your taxes.
My wife is a stay at home parent, she works way harder than I do on a daily basis. Whoever thinks parenting isn’t a full time job clearly has never had kids… or is full of shit if they have had kids.

The S-IVB-506.
This was the third stage of the launch vehicle for Apollo 11. After entering Earth orbit, the S-IVB rocket was responsible for the translunar injection burn. Once the burn was complete, the command module, LEM, astronauts and the spent rocket were then coasting to the moon. The astronauts would detach the CSM, pitch up, translate in, extract the LEM, then thrust with RCS to get clear of the S-IVB. At this point, the rocket is still on a coarse to the moon.
Many of them orbit between the Earth and moon to this day. One is speculated to orbit between the Earth and Sun. Many impacted the lunar surface, including the one from Apollo 13.
The S-IVB-506 rocket was the one that carried Apollo 11 to the moon. It’s a piece of human history, floating silently in a heliocentric orbit above us.
Good tip. You’d think that I would get lucky every once in a while.
I feel like I’m cursed or McD’s is taking a huge nose dive. I haven’t had a good, hot, not-soggy, salty McDonalds french fry in like 2-3 years. Every time I go, the fries are super gross. I’ve taken several road trips and the only consistency I’ve experienced is how terrible the fries have been.
Long story short: WW2
The military required men to be clean shaven, which was partly tactical (proper gas mask seals), partly to whitewash the service (e.g., black men can have severe skin reactions to shaving every day), and had other benefits to unit cohesion and general order (routine personal fitness and hygiene).
Well, that stuck, and an entire (massive) generation of men and their male children were taught that to be good they simply had to be clean shaven. Those two generations make up the vast majority of business and political power in the US, so the idea of “success” and “power” was idolized by a clean shaven male. This was further accentuated by the counter culture reaction of this cohort’s kids in the 60s and 70s, where longer and unkempt “bad” hair was cast against this “good” clean shaven look.
Fast forward to today, those traditions and appearances have been baked into most of modern life. As the boomer population starts to fade away, so will the tyranny of the razor.
I mean, this is like seeing the Dutch East India Company or Shakespearean London or the events of Les Mis in Game of Thrones.
In my mind, these are very distinct time periods. One has castles, the other had coffee.
Honestly, I have a hard time believing ANYBODY would have teeth that nice and straight in 1901.

You do you, boo boo.
You don’t need a percentage to make that number meaningful. That amount of money would nearly fund the US Navy for 1 year. They operate multiple nuclear aircraft carriers and submarines.
Throw in a handful of shredded Parmesan and this is a dinner my kids will pretty much always eat.
Add some peas and bacon and that is a dinner I will pretty much always eat.
Jazz hands
It’s not dumb to spend $10 on 5 tickets and spend the next 2-4 hours imagining / discussing what I would do with the winnings. It’s basically a movie ticket for my imagination, costs the same amount, and lasts about the same amount of time. I call that worth it for a bit of fun every year or so when the jackpot gets really high.

This is the reason why theoretical physicists and engineers rarely have fun together at parties.
