Stuff you'd say to 5 year younger you.

[quasarrgames]

I was a teenager 5 years ago so let's see where this goes...

 

-Be more cautious with just how much time you play Kerbal Space Program.

-That being said, you know how your velocity with a rendezvoused target gets larger overtime seemingly for no reason? That's because your periapsis and apoapsis aren't exactly aligned.

-If you want to stand out and increase your chances of getting into a good university/job, find a project that you really like and make it real. 

-Invest in Bitcoin

-Use Q and E, not A and D to roll.

Note to myself in early 2013: BECOME A RAILFAN TWO YEARS BEFORE YOU OTHERWISE WOULD HAVE! CATCH THE SD90S BEFORE THEY'RE GONE! Even though I didn't have a real HD camera until December 2013...

"A day actually is exactly 24 hours long, it's just that there's two kinds of days. The sidereal day is how long it takes Earth to rotate once, and that's 23 hours 56 minutes. But since Earth moves a little bit around the sun each day, it takes a little longer for the sun to rise again, and that's the day that's exactly 24 hours. And that's why we don't get four minutes ahead each day."

I started railfanning about 3 years after the Spencer, NC NS heritage unit unveiling... that's like 3 hours away, I could have made that!

 

...

 

...but to be more original, I would tell myself to GET KSP! I didn't even know it existed until I stumbled upon it a while later! I could be enjoying free DLC right now!

I seriously used to be such an idiot before though. Sigh.

But then that's something that only happens like two years ago. He'd still have to face three years before taking the pivotal decision. No guarantee he won't end feeling as miserably as I am now, five years later.

Except in Astronomical Time, where 1 sidereal day is 24h and 1 synodic day is 24h 3m 56s.

Guess my statement are not so much game-y.

Well...

You should have left the social networks even earlier.

Checking the mirrors only is not enough while maneuvering in reverse (after all you're not in a 26 t truck).

You should not have canceled your booking for the Supertramp live in 2011.

I'm very curious about this one....

 

Looking back 5 years ago, I'd have to say drink less and date fewer strippers, but even then it's a hard argument to make.     Probably, when faced with the choice, commit to this girl, not that girl. 

 

20 years ago, much different conversation.    Even then it may have been too late.   22 years could have saved me. 

[kerbiloid]

22 years ago I would silently give me a notebook with preinstalled soft and a city map with future nice job places.
