I like to daydream about having a real hobby. It sure would be neat to go hiking, or fishing, or learn to do some cool woodworking poo poo, but I usually just fire up the computer and do some shitposting.

It's my party and i can cry if i want to.

I like reading the forums and posting on them. I figure I spend around an hour a day average and I've been here for like 12 years now, so thats a good 5000 hours/6.8 months. They say it takes about 10,000 hours to master a skill so I reckon I've still got some posts to practice before I'm expert level.

Distance running, but just as the weather started getting nicer, and I didn't have to spend 10 hours a week on a treadmill, I got injured and it's a really nagging injury that won't go away. I should make an appointment to see a physical therapist, but I just haven't gotten around to it.

What an odd looking.....Figurine
I raise goats and geese. Have about 80 goats or so. I have the faiting breed and they are popular so they sell well. They are very easy on pasture, eating weedy plants first then going to grasses.
I have tried a few breeds of bird but have the best luck with geese. They aren't very freindly but they survive and raise young very well. They don't require alot of management.
I have tried growing plots of vegetables but I have not cracked the code on it yet. Squash seems to do decently, but so far that's all I can get to grow.

FIRST TIME posted:

when you're an adult, hobbies are usually poo poo you do to avoid your spouse and children

so yeah, that's pretty depressing

That is depressing. Mrs. Genesplicer and I actually have hobbies that we can do at the same place and time, usually in the studio we have at home. We have a work table in the center, benches around the walls and storage cabinets above. I build models, do papercrafting, draw, paint, build things, mold and cast, do electronic projects. On one wall we have a TV, so we can watch shows while working. During the summer, when we don't have time obligations, our schedule looks kind of like this:


1200: Get up, move to couches
1200 - 1400: Read books on the couch, enjoy breakfast
1400 - 1600: Routine household tasks
1600 - 2100: In studio, doing art/crafts/hobbies
2100 - 2300: If anything interesting is going on, move telescopes into back yard, do some astronomy, otherwise continue in studio
2300 - 0400: In studio, doing more art/crafts/hobbies

Some days we may have school work in there, but we can usually do that in the studio while the other person is doing arty stuff, or working on school, as well.

The advantage to our studio is we have plenty of space to spread out (500 square feet), so we can work on multiple projects at once. When paint is drying on a painting, you can be soldering a circuit board. It is great!

Hobby update on yard-scavenged travel guitar: just spent a good 30 minutes aligning the saddle with the neck, gluing it and clamping it. Feels super strange affixing a saddle with just wood glue, when youre used to electric saddles/bridges that need to be drilled to stick. Guess thats one of the advantages of the lower string tension on nylon - it won't rip the saddle off of the guitar when you tighten the strings. Gonna spend tonight finish sanding the neck/stock and carving out the inlay on the headstock (I got some mother of pearl shipped from china which thankfully didnt get stuck in customs).

In 24 hours I can take off the clamps and do a final full body sand, before I make the holes for the jack/pickup/volume pot. Its a fun build because I don't need to use a router for the pickup/electronics, I can just stick to low radius flat drills and do everything as small, round holes.

That's what she likes to go by. We send out letters and postcards in the CC postal thread, and that's what she's known by.

Upon review, I feel I must thank you. That's one person who thinks I might be an authority figure. At this time of the school year, that's the last thing most of my students are thinking.

I'm going to teach myself to solder some time next week. I'll start by removing a resistor from a radio transmitter, then I'm going to (hopefully) install a 3.5mm jack into my new Sennheiser HD-280 Pros so the cable is removable. While the cans are open, I'll also be attempting a version of the "blue tack" mod with damping sheet instead of the actual blue tack.

No, I'm not on the spectrum, why do you ask?
