Retired engineer/tech, medicus artium mechanicarum, loves making stuff & solving puzzles.
I was told not to put things in my CV? Several times whilst job seeking I was told "nah, jeez, you'd be bored". I have an engineering education....

All of the major threats to science in 2026 come from the right.

It adds a coffee stain to your documents. A lot of time can be saved by printing stains directly on the page rather than adding them manually."
It WAS wonderful & I met so many people there. Now it is staggering towards it's end......
