Instead of biting my nails or playing with a fidget toy, is there a skill I can learn/practice?

Like rolling a pen/coin through my fingers or something like that.

I learned to count to 31 on 1 hand using binary. I've gotten more than a few free drinks via bar bets with that skill lol.

Was it a bar at a software companies happy hour?

Who would bet a drink against your ability to count in binary?

Shit talking and making odd claims about talents are a good way to pass the time drinking in bars with strangers/acquaintances.
