Reading just 15-30 minutes before bed works really well for me, and if I'm not too tired, I'll read a bit longer. I can usually average a book a month this way.

I grew up using mindstorms in FLL and I just began coaching a team this year. I'm pretty impressed with the new Spike Prime, and although it has its quirks, over all I'd say it's a good improvement over the last generation, plus I get to teach the kids python which has honestly been a blast!
Just because an instrument can do equal temperament doesn't mean that is necessarily the best choice. Although absolute pitch can't be heard by most, relative pitch can, and so when playing any interval, such as a fourth, it will sound off in equal temperament, yet sound perfect when you put it "out of tune". There's some pretty interesting music theory that comes out of the traditional 12 tones not being able to be equally subdivided to then be arranged into those perfect intervals
