Treat data like blood donations. Ask A LOT of questions.

Whose blood is this? Where did you get this blood? Why is there so much blood? Does the person you collected this blood from know you have it? Did anyone see you take this blood?

Now replace “blood” with “data”

Went up last year with someone in a power wagon. It was fun. It was almost like the Austin Power's golf cart scene down in the trees with the tight turns.

Signal chats. Because shitposting with your friends is how you build strong bonds, and no one outside that circle should ever see how the sausage gets made.

I refuse to learn about non-Newtonian shit. That’s a level of scientific endeavor that I have no need to experiment with. 💩
