Broke my arm last time I did that, never again. A hard and fast rule is do not strap on or stand on any wheeled or sliding device to your lower body if you're over the age of 30 and haven't been doing so since childhood. I tried a one wheel once, nearly died. When I was a kid, I tried to skateboard once, feel and hit my hip really bad. Fuck that shit.

I'm a cook and an absolute eyeball champ, labs seem like they'd need much more precise measuring.

Directions are a double edges blade for me. I either overthink the instructions because they're usually written by kitchen workers in my case who are fucking awful at sentence structure or writing clearly. We have one recipe in the book where the measurements are in cups, liters, and grams on one recipe. You weigh out your ingredients while inventing a thing and then the next time you do it you convert those weight measurements into something that doesn't need a scale for each ingredient so it can be done fast, when you do you try to stick to as consistent units as possible, at least don't use measurements of volume and weight in the same recipe. I'm crazy strict about how recipes should be written down. On the other end I am Mr Eyeballs, I will pour liquid and count instead of measuring it out after getting a feel for a recipe and change stuff whenever I feel like it and not bother writing it down. I'm the only one at work who knows how to make 3 things cause I've changed the recipe so much. That being said, the arrogance is entirely earned cause it's never led to things turning out wrong. For diy stuff I just kinda throw myself at it and figure it out myself, I find that more fun than doing research sometimes. I am a hilarious carpenter but I build fucking sturdy

You're probably better than you think at it. It's not just maps, it's kind of an umbrella subject, it's also how people interact with different places differently throughout history and currently, most social sciences fall under the broader geography lense.
