I used “Saint Derelict” as a pen name for some poetry in high school, then in college I used it without the Saint as a character name in Numenera, and it stuck as a gamer name. I used it here because my other online handles are either unwieldy or name-based and I didn’t want a new one

We’ve been making them since the beginning of the pandemic, the pattern is based on a store-bought one we took apart, and we’ve made several iterations over the years including making wearable versions.

There are a lot of different types of characteristics that get described as 'smart.' Risk aversion is often categorized as 'smart,' as in "I'm too smart to do something that risky," but that is definitely not something billionaires are known for - you can't get that much money without big risky bets paying off.
