What skill did you master that you will never, ever use again?
Honestly I think you'd be surprised how every so often an odd skill resurfaces (possibly/hopefully with the exception of @williamnb.bsky.social's shaped charges)
Least likely - stripping a 2 stroke outboard carburettor.

In my case, using plastic explosives to make shaped charges, to direct a blast in a certain direction.

Cable lacing for me. We would stitch hundreds of metres of cables into telephone exchanges using waxed string. We all had callouses on our fingers from pulling them tight.
They use zip ties nowadays!

Have you heard of “The Populist Playbook?”
A few years ago, I posted what I still consider one of my most important messages.
It was about “The Populist Playbook” that I’ve watched play out often over my 33+ years of city planning.
Since then, it’s only gotten worse.
Do the steps sound familiar?
