what do you wish you knew more about?

[BoomerD]

I seem to recall he got cancer?

Nah, he just got banned. He lives at "The Site Which Shall Not Be Named."

I wish I knew more about what being a billionaire is like.

Then I wouldn't need to know a damn thing about women.

Except how to protect your fortune from them...

Personally, I'd like to know some coding, and to learn more about storage technologies.

 

[Ferzerp]

Lions. I wish there were someone around who could tell me some cool stuff about lions. I kind of think tigers are better though.

Math/Physics

Unfortunately I didn't take that path in college and have regretted it ever since. If life calmed down and I came into some money I'd enroll back in school.

Ancient technology - Blacksmithing, Smelting, Wood working, Glass Blowing, Farming, Leather working, Pottery, Animal husbandry, Dyeing, Weaving, Tannery, Kitchen Chemistry, Brewing, Stained glass, Armory, Siege Engines, Castle management, Herbs, Milling, Bee keeping etc.

 

[highland145]

My one regret is that I never got involved in woodworking.

Gotta get in one place. You're already buying twice the tools.


I can do some. I'm far, far from a craftsman but I made a Fokker.

I'd put that on my list too

Yep. Want to learn and understand all of this shit.

spell casting.

seriously though, art or martial arts.

To paraphrase, any sufficiently misunderstood technology is indistinguishable from magic.

 

[zinfamous]

the piano. that thing is confounding. I'd like to play it more better.

 

[clamum]

Even though I know it (enough) and do it at work, software design/development. More specifically, design patterns, but I always like to know more about anything coding, especially OOP-related. Oh, and know about databases and SQL more too.

Besides that, maybe electrical engineering or mechanical engineering type stuff.

Can you throw darts? Doesn't have to be accurate.

 

[Red Squirrel]

I'd say coding. I know enough to write basic programs but when it comes to doing anything semi advanced like anything having to do with interacting with system stuff or 3rd party libraries I'm at a loss. For example I wrote a basic PNG library and I spent hours just trying to figure out how to actually generate the PNG.

 

[ioni]

Like almost everyone else on Earth I'd like to learn to play guitar, but I actually don't want to learn more about music.

I'm afraid that if I know too much it will spoil the magic and I'll start hearing flaws or see songs I once loved as being too simplistic. Bah, that's just scales!

Play Rocksmith. I can play a bunch of songs now but don't know any music theory. Tons of fun.

I wish I knew more about Buddhism.

I'm trying.

 

[Mojoed]

For practical stuff, coding/scripting. For esoteric stuff, advanced physics. I'd also like to weld.

Wow. I could have written this myself. I'd love to be able to do/learn this stuff. Also, what Olds said.

 

[Belegost]

I've always wanted to pick up the viola (I tried violin long ago, but I am a big person with long arms and it was painfully small for me) and I regret not getting time to delve into serious mathematics when I was in school, especially in topology and Malliavin calculus.

Looks like you're pretty good at Fokking. :thumbsup:

Mathematics

I wish I knew more basic trigonometry on the fly.
I always have to look it up first.

Just two examples - things we'll never know on the JFK assassination and Nixon's secrets starting with the missing 18 minutes on the tape.
