"A defeatist is someone who resigns themselves to failure without trying." I'm thinking mostly about people in my personal life. Specifically one who has done things like put entire vacations on credit cards. Then used the justification of "girl math" because the experience NOW is worth what they will pay in interest. Instead of waiting until its financially viable because they'll "never be able to afford it otherwise". I have other examples but I'll use that as my primary.

I've experienced it used in a serious context to justify poor spending by people in terrible financial positions.

I'm thinking of a couple family members and friends but here's a short of what I'm talking about in action.

Are you familiar with the contemporary commonly used phrase "girl math"?

Does that mean you're writing it's code ( if that's correct terminology in this case)? Or building the actual rover? Or both? I haven't worked with robotics since I was in college.

When someone asks how much coffee you drink and you respond with a specific milligram of caffeine you intake on average.

That would be ideal.

Shout out something you've done lately you're proud of. I spent most of last week building 10 new "soil boxes" for the vegetable portion of my small farm's crops. Fully fenced in, basic irrigation setup and everything in the ground growing or ready to grow.
