Everyone who can, should switch to a cup and reusable pads. I used to fill our bathroom trashcan overflowing during that time, and I don't anymore. The cup takes a bit of a learning curve, but becomes second nature. It's far less wasteful, more sanitary, and doesn't contain... apparently... Arsenic or lead. Plus, unlike tampons, you can leave it in all day or night and then forget about it. I'll never look back!!!

I'm guessing this is closer to a Sunny D flavored White Claw than anything else.

Breakfast Stout in the bottle is a damn good stout. But Breakfast Stout on tap is maybe one of the greatest stouts of all time. If I ever see it on a beer menu on tap, I always get it.

HOW DO YOU TURN THIS ON

My dog is a mutt with some shih tzu mixed in and sometimes he really does act like a "shit zoo" lol.

I love Lemmy's love for Technology Connections. It just feels so right!

I mostly make chocolate based candies, but I dabble in other candies from time to time like caramels, candied nuts, candied fruits/ginger/etc. I like to make candies around Christmas time to give to family and friends as they make really nice gifts.

It's really all going to depend on your tastes and lifestyle. Like I could recommend that you get a dog and start learning how to train dogs as a hobby, but that's just not going to work for everyone. What's important is that you explore things and maybe even try some hobbies that could potentially improve your well-being. Maybe you live somewhere near a good hiking spot and you could take up hiking to get outdoors and get more exercise. Maybe you could learn how to cook and explore how to make healthy meals that suit you better. Or maybe you just want to create something and you could take up woodworking or make model planes or something. The possibilities are endless, you just need to decide what you'd like to get out of it.

Personally, I spend most of my time for work indoors on a computer, so most of my hobbies involve using my hands and getting outdoors. I took up a lot of extra hobbies during covid for obvious reasons. So here goes my list of >!hobbies that will maybe give you some ideas:

  • Cooking/baking/bread
  • Candy making
  • Jam making
  • Gardening
  • Canning (goes great with gardening!)
  • Succulents
  • Mixology
  • Dog training
  • Camping/hiking (this one is minimal only because I don't live somewhere with good hiking spots)
  • Board games, video games, and movies during the winter when I can't go outside

Other things I've considered taking up but haven't for various reasons:

  • 3D printing
  • Bonsais
  • Home brewing

I had known for a long time that I wanted to do something creative. Throughout highschool I was lucky enough to be able to take various classes that would allow me to try out different things. I ruled out music and was struggling to decide if I wanted to be an illustrator of some kind or an interior designer or maybe an architect? But then I took a class called "computer graphics" which was a stupid name for the class. It was actually a class about graphic design and it seemed to fit into everything I do well just perfectly. Looking back it was way more obvious that I should be a graphic designer as I used to do things for fun like doodle out magazine layouts and make weird computer art for icons and things back when that was how the Internet worked. Like what kind of kid does that for fun? A future graphic designer apparently.

I think this is what The Incredibles does very well. It throws you into a world with super heros, makes you think they're cool, then shows you what would actually happen to them when they start "saving" people and smashing up infrastructure. Probably one of the best super hero movies out there.

Pretty sure Snow Piercer is a train...

 

Oldie but a goodie

 

Hey guys! I'm going on a week long camping rafting trip in a few weeks and I wanted to get some ideas for good travel size games. I've found that some travel size games have lots of pieces or boxes that are loose, so I'm looking for suggestions for small games you think will work well for outdoors and travel.

So far I've got:

  • 2 pack of waterproof cards
  • Magnetic mini chess board
  • Hive Pocket edition
  • Love letter
  • Hanabi if I can get the metal tin version
