Morse code, Latin, and steam engines are all extremely useful things to know. If we don't understand how we got here, we don't understand how and why it works like it does.
For example, many words are based either in latin or greek. That's why the plural of octopus is octopuses (greek word + english suffix) or better, octopodes (greek word + greek suffix), and while latin has adopted the greek word oktopus (I can't remember the correct diacritics) it's origin is still greek, so the plural octopi (greek word + latin suffix), while used commonly, is technically not correct.
Latin is very useful to know for the common names of things, for example rocks, biological names of body parts and processes, and insects etc. Morse code is useful in emergency situations, or for long-distance communication without signal. We have vast areas of land in our country with limited to no signal, but at night you can easily transmitted a message using light, or using sound during either day or night.

Technically it's the expression of heritable genes that result in both the psychological traits and the epigenetic trauma expression (certain epigenetic markers are switched on or off due to environmental factors, such as famine).

I'm sure y'all have seen this video, and I must say the guy handled it remarkably well. If you are a cash transporter in South Africa, especially Gauteng, you need this man.

He also looks very similar to Prince Phillip, and in his childhood photos he looks the same as Charles when he was a kid
