To keep the content from tumbling out? Apologies, I don't totally get it, but I am trying to picture it here.

No worries, I am a fucking weirdo like - super cereal. I'm mixed, and I grew up in a predominantly black area without cable or anything. The TV was typically occupied by the adults so it was like a pretty hard thing to get a whack at. I was for sure alive, I just am really shit with a combination of cultural references and names in general. Big apologies on my behalf, cause you know - you can "google" everything but I also figured like - we could just you know - talk like people do hahaha! I think just looking everything kind of ruins the human experience in a way. I mean it's fun, and fine. It's something that I do a lot of. I just figured if you had something nifty to share I would readily take a look at it (and I am sure lots of others would too =)!)

I'll just glance at his Youtube instead, cause I think makers are the bee's knees and they're pretty fun to have a watch over. Heads up on the glue gun, grab a "nice one" doesn't have to be the best, but don't grab bottom of the barrel. We did that cause we needed one for a mini project over here. At the time we had just moved and money was tight. We figured just grab the cheap one, it'll be no problem. That thing was awful. It was labeled as "high heat" but that sucker melted glue at a glacial rate. I mean it was just painful. I think it probably needed a 10 on, 15 off rule or something because it ended up burning out too. If I grabbed another I'd go for like...idk - one that fluctuates temperatures, has a stand, and is way less of a fire hazard. I did think, man these things are nifty though while using them and understood while all the craft folks go bananas for them.

Big thanks, and super no worries.

I love the artistry of the creations. I think it sort of reminds me of the difference between frugal minimalism and mindful minimalism. Thanks for the recommendation, I am going to have to take some ideas from this book.

I am making a mental note on this. I once lived in a place where getting dirt was so nearly impossible, and compost seemingly was the only way to produce more outside of just importing it. I have always found this kind of stuff so interesting. I plan on living in the middle of nowhere again at some point soon, and need to put this somewhere in the depths of my brain-bin for future reference. Thank you for not only sharing, but also providing awesome links. I am going to scour them. Cheers and keep being awesome =)!

Hey there, took a look at all of these resources. I had no clue that cutter existed, but it looks quite lovely. Once upon a life ago I used to use box cutters to hand cut a lot of precision things. I still take immense joy from doing so, and have pretty much been cannibalizing everything with an x-acto. I gotta share this guy and see if maybe it'll be a good fit for our household now or later. On the shroomies, looks like you got a good grow with just the boiled cardboard. Gotta love fresh oyster mushrooms =)

Also I think I gotta make one of those finger-friendly cutters because it's just to cute and tinker-y not to. Thanks again for the share!

I love this! Vis-novels are a hard sell unfortunately =/

I'll take a look then, I just had never heard of the guy but figured you might have a video or something to show. Either way, thanks for the info =)

Thanks for the share, I would have had no idea =)

To be honest with you, I hate this fkin' game! I never had it. I like the OG Donkey Kong, and Donkey Kong Jr. My sibby loved this game, although he only played it via roms back in the day. I had a group of friends who loved this game like crazy. I can't even tell you much about it, because I suck at it so hard. I mean I am miserable at this game. I like the characters. The animations were out of this world. The soundtrack, super good. I still like that underwater song, and it's what I think about when I think about this game. (Well in this order a) Fuck that giant baby b) Trixie (?) has flying hair - whee! c) Hornet boss. Pheh! d) Barrel smashing e) Crocks, I always think I am lined up to smash them but then get smashed by them f) That song was a banger tho)

Guess it's called Bramble Blast . I just remembered the bramble part, this song is a banger =)!

So happy this guy is still making music =)! Idk. this is a banger of a video and a jam of a song though.

Filament? 3D printer? Why do they need to be dry? I am just interested, I don't know. But I'd like to know =)!

Also yes, shoe box gang rise up! They're just so convenient for storing loose things. Their different branding makes it easy to identify what's got what in it.

To be honest a lot of people can't quit alcohol. I am not saying every alcoholic can't. I don't know the science, but I think it can be quite like opiates in which there is a point where maintenance might be required to either sustain/er...step-down from your addiction. I don't know much about it. I just know that I had a friend who drank a handle a day, was bi-polar and unmedicated, and attempted to go sober solo and ended up in the hospital because they ended up having a seizure/puking all over the place. A lot folks who work in kitchens are addicts, and when I worked in them folks were fairly often functional alcoholics and we had a couple folks seizing out too from time to time. Shit is scary, but I do know there's help - so you can like...look for it. Just be careful, this might sound funny but someone I helped personally made a rule to be friendly but not befriend folks at recovery. Another person I knew who went to recovery ended up sort of fueling themselves up with another person's addiction (as if they were each others hypemen) and ended up addicted to opioids before dropping the program. If you want help, there are ways to find it out here. Just gotta take those little baby steps necessary to fuel whatever habit you're trying to form. Good luck!

I actually know someone who feels this way and I think it's really to each their own. I think you can be an alcoholic and still meter your drinking in a way that you can be functional. I also think that there are people who have absolutely zero control over their drinking habits and it's actually quite destructive for them to think like this. It really seems to come down to the individual, although I think most addiction revolves around impulse control issues (er, among other things). Which means you could be playing with fire keeping a lax mindset. Most people who have felt the depths of addiction who want to be in recovery (versus active addiction) tend to keep things as sober as possible because of it. I personally agree, that it only takes a little of a "good thing" to turn into a bad thing. I really do know people who can functionally indulge from time to time and not have much issue although in the past they were absolutely monsters.

I've also known a person who drank themselves to death (literally), an addict from a young age. Another who ran their *life into the ground and ended up homeless and smashed by a semi. So I always keep these things in mind.
