I feel like my focus is now better. Aswell as endurance to stay on things that dont reward outright. Also the learning sources available are just huge now.
Glad I learned it, and I still use that method to tie things in general, but I actually never do this any more. At some point in my youth, I realized there were plenty of shoes that you just slip on, and honestly I've been glad to avoid the hassle.
I wish I had learned more music as a kid. Kept thinking it wasn't my thing, and then eventually (while still young) that I was too old. Later I got into it; I'm still not any good, but it's a lot of fun. What keeps you from playing around with music these days?

To be fair, I do wear loafers and such quite a bit at work, but I do wear sneakers when I work out, and those use laces.
What keeps you from playing around with music these days?
A combination of factors... I don't really think I have a passion for playing music at all; I don't think I ever did. I just played music to play, and while it was fun, it was never something I cared too much about. I love music, but I love listening and thinking about music much more than I do actually playing or making it myself.
That being said, I basically stopped entirely when I moved for university. My trumpet stayed behind with my philharmonic band and my guitar and bass gathered dust while I did other things I was enjoying more at the time.
I learned how to fixand build things with my dad and grandpa. Now I'm a mechanical engineer and use those same principals I learned from them 30 years ago.
I learned how to fix and build things with my dad. Now I have a list of projects to do around the house because I'll be damned if I'm going to pay someone $1000 to install $300 of flooring...
Whistle with my fingers, took a good few weeks of practice over one summer blowing spit all over my fingers but eventually I learned. Still a really useful skill today.
Writing cursive. But after seeing my coworkers I could just say writing, there's this kid in particular that he barely knows how to hold a pen. And I'm supposed to be the one without an education.
I can usually tell by someone's gait and posture whether or not they're likely to try to hit someone in the next hour or so. If it seems likely I offer them drugs. Usually by the time my coworkers are able to tell it's too late to offer.
When I was nine another kid taught me how to make this really cool paper airplane that looks more like a shuttle than an airplane and flies pretty well too. I still make them when I’m bored, and when my kid is old enough I’ll teach him too.
Over the years I've added digits to what I knew as a kid. I'm no master memoriser and haven't made a huge effort, but I'm out to the first 0, which has no business being so late.

Masking.
Yeah I never got any good at that
Heh, yeah.
Peeing in the potty
Riding a bike
I can roll a coin or a pencil through my fingers. Do this mostly in boring meetings.
I learned to tie my shoelaces!
Not really much else, I fear... I quit playing music almost entirely, which was a pretty big part of my life as a youngster.
Pick it back up. Things come back fast and as an Adult you learn even faster.
I love the enthusiasm but I definitely picked things up faster as a teenager.

Walking as quietly as possible around the house.

Got my first skateboard 41 years ago, am as excited as I've ever been that I get to go skating today.

Don't blame him. Blame the schools.

What's the context? Security job in a club or a mental institution?
Second one
I don't feel like hitting anyone but can I have some drugs anyways?
They're not very fun they actually make you stop seeing interesting things and sometimes knock you out :/
I'll take 37

reciting pi to this many digits from memory any chance I get:

So cool! (there are dozens of us!)
I think I knew 25 digits stone point, but I’m pretty sure I’ve forgotten a few over the years.
Sing.
I have a loose scalp, I can make it appear as if I'm wearing a wig.
I can swallow air and belch on command. Maybe I should list it as one of my skills on my resume
Being able to play multiple different musical instruments.
I can wiggle my ears and nose.
Wiggling my nostrils
Lying
Ha ha ha ha! 😄👌
I learned by exploring my mouth with my tongue that I could clean out my nose from the inside.
