What are your hobbies? I've recently become interested in metal detecting. It's a lot of hard work , but it's fun and you can learn a lot about your local history in the process, and if you're lucky you'll find something that's worth more than your car. Or if you're even more lucky you'll find something you can retire on. Most of the poo poo you find while metal detecting is just garbage, but I find that I really like being outdoors and having something to occupy my time other than the internet. What hobbies do other goons enjoy?

FIRST TIME posted:when you're an adult, hobbies are usually poo poo you do to avoid your spouse and children Hobbies are also what you do to forget about the fact that you're single with no prospects for the future.

Tonsured posted:I sample algae from various local water sources, algae is an indirect indicator of water quality and the phycological distribution has shifted noticeably each year since the last factory around here shut down(thanks globalization! You destroyed all my friends and neighbors lives but the local wild life is thriving!) Can you explain this some more?

Tonsured posted:I'm no expert. I'm a hobbyist. I have a microscope and I'm curious. I collect bags of water then look at them under a microscope. Over the last few years I've noticed that the diatom population is almost non existent. Diatoms generally thrive in waste water, and their disappearance means that the water quality seems to be changing for the better. So this is good?

Tonsured posted:Seems like it, for the wild life. There has been an increase in bird and mammal diversity over the years too. But I don't bag them. Aren't birds mammals? Sorry, I don't know things about stuff.

Tonsured posted:Wow! That makes sense because birds can fly! And beavers can't! but then again house flies can fly, so maybe they're averes too? I honestly don't know what the hell you're talking about. I just wanted to know if birds are mammals or not.

Minimalist Program posted:I enjoy building guitar from scratch I don't know anything about musical instruments, but the fact that you built part of it from a knocked down tree in your yard is pretty amazing.

For a couple of months I've been working on a travel-sized one with a walnut neck/stock and a pine body (from a piece of wood from a tree knocked down in my yard by a storm last year). I'm doing it without a truss rod, so I can't do metal strings bc. the tension would warp or crack the neck. So it's nylon strings, which means no ordinary pickups. Instead, I'm installing a piezo pickup in it, which is the same kind of system found in clip-on guitar tuners. It's going to be really good. Only problem atm is that I may have overclamped the neck when i glued it in the body, so now theres a slight but noticeable backbow to it. I'm hoping it won't be a problem and that the string tension will pull it back up a bit...
