Well, I would say now is the time for CP to pioneer meaningful on-line tutoring !
I know how I would go about it, and if/when the time is "ripe," I'll be happy to put my ideas on, or under, the table Smile | 
If not "us:" who ?
cheers, Bill
I'm with Bill. Let's set this up. Helpouts was not a success so we should hear how Bill would set it up.

Helpouts hasn't been a success yet: but it's early days - and most of the world can't sign up for it as a mentor, because Google is still restricting it to just the USA (or was last time I looked)
Give it time: if Google really gets behind it (and the beta period was measured in days, not months) it could be a good idea, and work well.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Google's killing helpouts. See the Insider News.

I can explain anything to any audience, and I've tailored more training projects than I care to remember.
My only problem would be time, but I'd be willing to do what I can.

Ah, secret organizations. Whatever.

It's a CONSPIRACY!!!
We should form a group and have secret meetings to discuss it!

Breakfast:
French Toast with almond extract and cardamon served with warm (and real) maple syrup and whip cream made from coconut milk fat and more almond extract, served with a side of bacon. (She loves almond extract!)
Dinner (later tonight):
Salmon with a sesame-wasabi-miso crust (plus a couple sides: garlic string beans, and sweet potato.)
I do love making delicious meals for my sweetie.

What scrumptiously romantic delectables you have prepared, chef de cuisine !
Wasabi-miso crust: how do you keep it from being too salty ?
cheers, Bill

I have no idea, I've never made it before.
However, my gf really likes salty stuff, so it's rare to encounter a "it's too salty" reaction!
[edit]Also, the white miso I will be using is actually not too salty [/edit]

That's the kind of minty-clean-all-over-refreshing honesty that is just so rare on Q&A

Yoghurt with cerial, like I eat every day.
Dinner (just had):
Lettuce with sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese, apple and olives. Going to make dessert (called banana drama) in a minute!
I do love eating alone, cooking alone, being alone... In fact I love myself so much that later I... Nevermind[^] 
And maybe I'll try to have a girlfriend next year

Yeah, it turned out great! I had to double the amount of wasabi -- American recipes are so bland -- to even taste it. But the whole meal was a great success.

Now that the news that the Apple iCar has been leaked, a few unsurprising details have emerged of what the total-automotive-experience a la Mac will be:
1. A Hybrid incorporating a special type of Electrical energy code-named "Shazam" which will use a unique phase-modulation rendering it incompatible with any existing current electrical voltage/frequency specification. Re-charging will require purchase of the very expensive home-unit, the "AppStation Home," or driving into the all-glass Apple branded service-stations code-named "iGasms." The special batteries will not be replaceable, and are permanently bonded/welded to the frame.
2. The internal-combustion component of the engine will use a special form of Methanol produced from GMO corn, code-named, of course, iGas. It will only be available at iGasm stations; it's price will be tagged to some integer multiple of the current per-gallon rate for oil refined from Brent Blend North Sea Crude (think expensive, very expensive). This engine cannot be repaired, only replaced under AppleCare Warranty under limited circumstances. Only Apple iGasm stations will have the special tools required to even change the engine-oil.
3. There will be no user-serviceable parts, automotive, mechanical, electrical, electronic in the entire vehicle.
4. The first models will sell for roughly the price of an entry-level Rolls-Royce, and will have an estimated lifetime before batteries wear out of one year. Over the usual ten-year product cycle there will be numerous "improved" models put on the market, each with "killer features:" none of these features can be retrofitted to any previous model.
While these rumors seem common enough to give them some creedence, I must discount the strange talk about direct vehicle-to-driver body/blood/brain interaction being whispered about. And, that speculation about Siri driving the vehicle: well, I think that's just too far-fetched; the lawyers would never allow that.
The idea that Apple will market this vehicle's "first edition" only in states in the U.S. that legalize cannabis: that's ridiculous.
