I want to write a CAD program, what would be a good place to start. Libraries/frameworks etc? (C++ or Python)

Do something 2D first to get the hang of it. Shouldn’t take you more than a week or two to get a 2D editor going. I threw a rough Doom level editor together pretty quickly on the Mac, and I kind of want to write a 3D editor of some sort next.

Laptop recs? T470?

480 can have a quad core, it's a decent step up from the 470

Question Programming languages and Jobs

What are your local job ads asking for? You can learn fancy new stuff but if the local companies need people to write ASP, VB6, or work with Microsoft Access, they won't interview you!

My first new vehicle

Those Goodyear Duratracs are awesome in the snow, keep them on there. Yup - when you can get $10-$12k off a new truck it's rarely worth it to buy used unless you go back 3-4 years. I'd throw a set of Bilstein 5100's on all 4 corners, ASAP. With the maximum height set on the front for 2" of lift.

Programming, where to start?

This. You need a project/goal to work towards. If you have the desire, the tools don't matter. Mac, PC, C#, Java, Python...you will find a way.

How long do Macs "last" in general?

Just gave my sister in law a 2011 13", put an SSD and 8GB in it and she loves it for light photo editing and such. Still works great but I don't need 4 Macs. I'd say the Core2Duo 2009/2010 models are getting annoying slow to use...but they've been that way since the Core i5/i7 models came out.

Hanging Punching Bag

I bought the Everlast wood beam t heavy bag hanger for about $9. Then I stacked two 2x4's together and put them between two floor joists, and screwed each 2x4 into each joist. Then I attached the bag hanger to the 2x4's using 2-1/2" screws. Solid as a rock.
