    Speaking of school, last night I got so excited about such a silly thing. My SO & I were talking about Decartes and I asked, "He was a rationalist, wasn't he?" The SO didn't know. So we looked it up. And would you believe I remembered something I learned in high school western history & college philosophy that I never thought would be relevant to my life?

    Hee.

    How the heck is it relevant now?

    I'm writing another story, steampunk, that involves a descendant of his trying to destroy Babbage's difference engine.

    How did you use that in sql so far? 😉

    I think learning those obscure items, and understanding those can make life richer and more interesting. I'm surprised sometimes how things from other subjects impact the way I look at technology.

    Most facts are fairly useless trivia, but I do find a decent number of them make life more interesting.
