I'm pretty good at... just about everything. With some rare exceptions, just about every new thing I try, I pick up really quickly, and am pretty good at it. Ice skating, volleyball, stand-up comedy, acting, dancing, singing, gymnastics, hockey, rugby, capoeira, woodworking, drawing, painting, sculpture, chemist, surgery, gardening, swimming/diving... Just a whole bunch of random stuff that I've had the opportunity to try and... yeah, I'm pretty good at 'em.
I've often thought about being the subject of some sort of "Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe" style show except they challenge me with new tasks/activities to see if they can find something I legitimately suck at.
That's called being a Dilettante. Jack of all trades, master of none.
No offence intended, but that's hardly uncommon enough to be show-worthy.
samesies.
I picked up some books on genetic sequencing and used it to improve my teleportation machine.
I'm about to test it myself in about an hour.
🤞Hope nothing goes wrong. I'll come back later if anything new happens.
edit: my experiment was a failure... there was a contamination in the chamber and now I fear for the worst. I might be able to reverse this mistake, but I'm so hungry right now.
