there was a dude on youtube who did the gingery shaper, that was pretty good. of note is that all his casting was lost foam casting, which was neat.

my daughter wanted to try archery, so I joined with her, and we are now both national champions (it's a very small country, I was the only one in my class, she beat 4 others, including the reigning champ, so go her! )

We did lost foam casting in college as part of a required course it was fun. I made an ashtray for our in-house bar since the old one was cracked. Buddy of mine made a letter opener and got in a lot of trouble for essentially using school resources to make a weapon lol

Terrible letter opener too it wasn't sharp at all and textured like the cheap foam we used for the class, not sure what he was expecting

you ever lie in bed and think about the day ahead? and sometimes the things you think about give you inspiration or motivation. perhaps you think about making a lamp and you can’t wait to get out of bed to go make it.


what about when it’s not like that? when nothing whatsoever gives you a pang of interest or excitement or motivation or whatever. you get out of bed because you know you should but there is nothing you want to do with the day.

is this a hobby? maybe I should hire a rowing machine

That's just a dopamine problem. Spend a week or two without social media or video games and you'll be right as rain.

You could spend your days giving armchair diagnoses to strangers on the internet. For instance, I think your posting could use more fiber.

I have actually wondered about this, because something I do end up doing when I feel like this is doom scrolling, and it’s occurred to me, because I’ve heard things like this, that one should take a “dopamine holiday” or something to remove the tiny dopamine hits you get from social media or whatever and “reset” poo poo a bit

a depressing but real fact seems to be that even if you found something that increased dopamine in your brain, you brain would become adapted to the new levels and downregulate the receptors, the end result being that there is nothing you can take that will work day after day

I got some tyrosine because it’s a dopamine precursor and it does increase dopamine levels and actually bring back a bit of motivation but you can’t take it every day :cry:

word on the street is that exercise helps. WTF universe

drugs can be a fun and exciting hobby

for example, you can meet some new and interesting friends just by doing large amounts of Benadryl, like the hat man and shadow people

or you can try some DMT and tap the wisdom of the machine elves
