I took too much time to

1. Empathise about effect of menstrual cycle in women.Its so well hidden from boys (at least Indian). They wonder why girls behave erratically ( sex education needed much earlier at least in India as more kids are exposed to adult content)

2. be very careful when using rm command (use alias rm='rm -i' )

3. Have backup of backup of backup.

4. keep checking if backups restore correctly. (can have a very rude awakening if it does not work someday )

5. People who report to you are different on different days . Dont judge them on few events. (20+ chances at least be given before giving them negative feedback privately )

6. Friends are more useful than family. ( because you have similar priorities in life) They are a lifesaver after 50 so be in touch with school buddies and college buddies esp as its so much easier now. ( Lost few classmates in Covid who had less family support)

7. Learn to cook all your favorite recipes ( of your mom/wife/grandmother). You will never be sad. Make them at least for two people, share it.( right size the utensils you use regularly. not too small not too big)

8. Meet Reality as it is by using Vipassana. It is a super power to counter the unethical AI use. (just finished 10 day course in Bhopal, India New courses are across world ) * They are not paying me anything for this.

  I genuinely believe #Vipassana works. BTW Yuval Noah Harare (Wrote Sapiens and Nexus) has endorsed it as well.

You can find course near you in this link. https://www.dhamma.org/en-US/courses/search?current_state=Ne... (Its free and runs on donations)

9. Keep a water bottle and flat tiffin (empty is also ok but can keep biscuits/leftover for later in day)

10. Remember to have fun. (we often forget) (kk.org has advice on how2)



>2. be very careful when using rm command (use alias rm='rm -i' )

and treat mv/cp/rsync like rm

Your backups are only as good as your ability to restore them (under pressure).
