Not sure if it counts as a skill but I want to be able to run a half marathon. To word it towards the question, I want to pick up the skill of distance running

Got into running during my sober October, I suggest you start with the COUCH25K program so you build a solid foundation.

I want to learn some low-level programming and hardware stuff, however, I don't really know where to start - sure, I can order an arduino with some kit, but I don't know much about electrical engineering, so making anything harder when a blinking LED will be a challenge.

I want to get better at playing music with other people. I've played a little guitar with friends, and want to be better at accompanying them. Also, I got a harmonica, for times I'm not able to carry a guitar.

Lmk if you want virtual lessons - we can set something up. I have been playing for over 10 years and have taught many people before

How to use a Mac. I've always been on Windows and used Linux VMs or WSL. I think it's time to take the plunge though.

Just got one recently. The difference between keyboard combos for text selection and navigation, and window switching is annoying so far, but I'm confident I'll get used to it.

I’m planning to retire from contracting and looking for a permanent position where I can ideally

- dig into one of the specialisations I’d like to focus on: data processing frameworks, databases, computational geometry,

- keep improving my communication and mentoring skills.

I want to get some basic woodworking skills together. I can do simple household plumbing, and I'm not going anywhere near electricity or roofing, but I would love to be able to patch up that corner of the staircase and have it look decent.

You might want to look up carpentry, instead of woodworking. They're actually pretty different in skills and approach.

It's like, with woodworking, step one is often "make everything perfectly square". In carpentry, nothing will ever be square. So you just have pretty different problems to solve
