Oh no… I find it keeps my mind sharp to solve problems and build stuff, not as much as megadoses of caffeine but no reason can’t have both! Just this morning my wife asked me to do an iron-on t-shirt for a work event (always amazing how fast people think I can do projects, “Hey I need fully functional carburetor for a 1975 ford fiesta, can you get that done by dinner time?”, but the process does help me keep my creativity in problem solving. I don’t create art (while I am the son of a professional artist, that’s not my skill set) I create mostly practical things (whether for work or play) most recently concentrating on the latter with flight sim gear. I also use such opportunities to find out how real-world things actually work and how could I make a version for home-sim that doesn’t cost $4000/switch.
Just saying that made me think “Oh, just realized how to make that Airbus ECAM panel clear switch guard that looks like Airbus put a hinge inside a piece of acrylic (well I could I guess cast acrylic with a hinge pin in it, or I could 3D print clear resin in a thin frame, since it is edge on, you’ll never see it.”
