A second silver lining was HIV resistance/immunity. Granted, it took 500 years to be worth anything, but hey, it's not nothing!

For those who didn't already know... Bubonic plague is strongly suspected to have selected for a mutation that keeps HIV from being able to get into Helper T cells

Some other things that immediately come to my mind:

-How to make concrete/cement and other large scale industrial products.

-How to make pharmaceutical products like antibiotics (since that is so knowledge-intensive.

-Circuit design and electricity. Which leads to....

-Basic science. That stuff could get lost pretty easily if we didn't actively preserve it.

I feel so guilty about this every day..I just don't think about sex, I'll do it for him whenever he wants, but my desire for sex is very low and I'm not really sure how to fix that

This is the issue my wife and I face. She has zero libido and despite numerous conversations about it and friction over the idea that the only reason she was having sex was to "put out" for me nothing has changed. Well, that's not entirely true. We stopped having sex entirely because I didn't want to have sex if it was only for me. It has brought us to the brink of divorce and despite couples counseling there really hasn't been any improvement.

High School Biology teacher here. I did an undergrad in Env Science and working in wastewater treatment was one of my main career options (mid/late 90s). I opted to go back to school (MA in Biology) and eventually found teaching. With that said, I think of myself as something of a jack of all trades, and much of what you described sounds like a fun job. Any sense of how somebody like me would thread into something like this as a career change (I have lab experience as a teacher, but no career experience outside of education)? Also curious what the pay would be like for someone like me coming in. Not necessarily looking to leave my profession, but the pay for teachers is abysmal (I make $60k in a city with over 20 years experience and two degrees) and the expectations/workload are pretty high. But thank goodness for the vacations!

Talent doesn't hurt either. But, listening to a few of your songs now, I'd say you've got a pretty good handle on churning out decent vaporwave/synthwave stuff. I'll subscribe on YT.
