Apparently I study timekeeping so much that I can program a clock on a graphing calculator without using any timer function.
It takes a fixed amount of time to alter a pixel on the screen, and when carefully crafted, the pixel clock itself serves as a timer.
I'm actually currently testing such a clock demo on my Casio right now.
Timekeeping?
Yes, as in the studies of everything between keeping up with time zone rules, knowing when the next lunar eclipse is (in the USA that's coming up shortly early morning March 14), and even learning and understanding how long different CPU instructions take.

I have a machine shop that I use for making things out of metal that are normally not made of metal (like a yarn winder).
According to my ex, I'm pretty good at defending the horrible actions of others in a conversation
I play golf, some days I wouldn't even call it a hobby more like penance and a walk in the trees and sticks
Apparently there are people who receive monetary compensation for drawing comics. Some apparently can even do that as their main job. That's what I heard at least, they seem to be rare.
I bake fancy sourdough, grow vegetables, do landscaping (but not mowing) make great cocktails for people, ferment foods and drinks. Occasionally draw things for decorations.
On the other hand, we pay someone to mow, and also to clean the house every other week.
I tried my hand at sourdough breads, but failed miserably. How long did it take you to become decent at it?
I got really into cocktails a few years ago (or "mixed drinks", if you want to be more technically correct). No way I'd be able to keep up at a real bar, even if I probably know more cocktails than many of the bartenders I've personally interacted with (TBF I haven't been to a bar since I really got into cocktails, and before I got into it I just went wherever it was cheap). Fixing drinks is at best half of the job anyway, and I'm rubbish at the people stuff.
What's the distinction between cocktails and mixed drinks?
"Cocktail" is more specific. Originally, it was identical with what's now called an Old Fashioned, i.e. spirit, sugar, bitters and water/ice. Later the term started including other alcoholic drinks like sours, martini etc.; I've seen people claim in discussions that's it's down to the amount of ingredients (e.g. a Rum & Coke is not a cocktail, but rum, cola and lime (Cuba Libre) might be) or a specific care exercized in preparation, but I think it's ultimately arbitrary.
Anyway, one of my favourite drinks is the Twice Up (whisky and water mixed 1:1, works great with many other spirits). Hard to call this a cocktail, considering adding water to whisky is just a completely normal way of drinking whisky in Scotland. The Scots just pour the water freehand instead of measuring an exact amount.
Cool, thank you for teaching me something :)
One was mixed with a cock, and the other was mixed with a tail, obviously.. /s
Photography. I got back into it last year and have really enjoyed the process. Iβve learned a lot in a really short time.
I try playing the guitar and taking photos.
Welding! Just personal projects
I'm trying to get into creating electronic circuits. I'm terrible at it, though.
If youre doing soldering flux will change your lifeq
K8nd of the opposite, but I often void warranty for a living. Pays pretty well too.
My current favorite outside of gaming is selfhosting or homelabbing. Maybe not to a high degree but I manage four local servers and one offsite, with four websites. Itβs pretty fun but makes me super stress when it fails. One of those websites is a work related database but itβs also very fun to manage.
Another small hobby I have is managing my own small library. Using LOC codes I learned from the library. I inherited a massive collection from retiring profs.
I make and publish music but not popular enough to live off of it.
cycling and drumming (in a band), not easy to find the time with all the other stuff (chores etc.) that has to be done
I fix my own cars and do my own house maintenance.
