I used to always get the largest size or portion when buying a drink or ordering food. A small cup of boba? Nope. A half order of salad at CPK? Never. The way I saw it, by choosing the larger serving you got more bang for your buck. It wasn't just limited to food either. After my last Costco run, I ended up with more toilet paper than I'll probably ever need in my lifetime. I'm slowly learning that buying more also means wasting more. Still trying to shake that habit.
On the plus side, I've begun to appreciate leftovers... a lot. Usually means one less meal to prepare :)

flying

If I had the time and money, I'd definitely want to learn how to fly. Probably won't ever be able to fly a plane like that though. The F-35 would be awesome. The helmet mounted display lets you look down and view your surroundings as if the plane weren't there (via cameras looking out from the hull of the plane).
It's crazy how far technology has come in some ways, and how little it has progressed in others. The US Military is still flying the EA-6B and A-10, and NASA can't get a man on the moon for at least another decade even if it wanted to. Self-aware (or seemingly self-aware) robots in our lifetimes? Nope, don't think so. And yes, I've seen Watson and Siri in action.
