Adam Savage's Live Streams: Advice for New Dads, Prospective Job Applicants and more

It's live stream time, and for this live stream, we're opening up questions to everyone (Tested members, Tested subs and ... you!). Be sure to wait until Monday to ask your question, though; UA-cam seems to wipe the chat clean every day, and we will not be gathering questions in the chat until Monday. Hope to see some of you then!
0:04:07 New dad here, any tips? Work/life balance. Thanks!
0:08:00 Seeing as how the livestream will directly follow the Apple event, curious if you get excited by new technology like phones, computers, tablets, etc.? Is there something Apple hasn’t done yet, whether a widget or a software feature, that you’d like to see?
0:14:25 Could you talk about the metal chair with the holes in it,? It's been in the background a few times.
0:17:04 Did rental companies worry that they might not get their stuff back when the Mythbusters crew showed up? For example the concrete barriers used for keeping CalTrans workers safe.
NOTE: 2 questions are combined
0:18:39 I am a young professional (I graduated college in 2023) and I’m looking for some career advice. Specifically I would like any tips you have for talking to people that you want to work for. I have temporary employment where I can gain valuable corporate office experience in multiple areas, but it is not what I want for my long term career. I am an avid car enthusiast and I want to work in the classic car industry. Recently I have met several very successful people with their own small businesses in the industry and I am planning to reach out to them to have lunch or coffee with the aim of getting a job. What advice do you have for conversations where I want to ask for a job without actually saying something like, “can you please give me a job”?
0:19:30 What advice would you give to someone primed for a big promotion and wanting the big promotion but also scared to death at the same time?
0:30:53 When you worked at ILM, what was the most insightful or interesting information others have shared with you?
0:33:50 I was watching a video the other day where you were machining brass and described it as "grippy" I was wondering, when you work with a new material on the lathe do you research it and its different properties, or do you just go for it and trust to experience?
0:40:37 I have no desire to make for a living. I do it for fun. I have a typical 9 to 5 desk job. Do you find people like me are looked down upon in the maker community since I am not a "professional"?
0:43:42 Growing up in the 80’s watching Alien aged 10 made me the person I am today. As a kid did you see any movies that were inappropriate for your age and how did they shape you love for movies?
0:48:06 Do you plan a project all in one go? Or alternate between building and planning different elements?
0:48:57 Just a question: do you believe that too much mobile usage might affect negatively creativity? I have a 14y daughter and she's started artistic high school. But she's always on her mobile :/
0:56:12 How do you reconcile the creation process with the amount of waste that goes into the creation process? I struggle with that.
1:00:00 You radiate a wonderful glee. Being that we all have off days, have you ever had to fake due to the expectations of others.
