Part-time cashier at a big orange hardware store while trying to get my degree in horticulture.

Best cake I’ve ever had: Chocolate Chocolate Chip by Nothing Bundt Cakes. Seriously, if there’s a location near you that you’ve always passed by, stop by and try it. Their Carrot cake and Lemon cake are also amazing.

PopcornPrincess ,

Omg the carrot cake is delicious. Everything I’ve tried has been on point.

Bonus points for metal

I always recommend Shaka Ponk

More electro-rock-metal but still jaw-dropping

I once intentionally starved myself till the point of a huge headache as a personal experiment

Did a 30 day fast years ago, definitely need to look up medical information beforehand though. There’s some nutrients your body needs to function but it’s a short list which you can take with water (stuff that helps your neurons, etc). Was truly a different experience, would probably do it again if I had the time available.

I work as a Java programmer, which means that I spend about 50% of my day complaining about Java. Why doesn’t it have enums like Rust? Why are there no tuples? How many goat sacrifices do the Java gods require to support named optional arguments to functions like Python? In the remaining time I have meetings, write docs, write tests, and sometimes even code. Nothing to complain about though, seeing how we are treated compared to people I know who work as taxi drivers or in elderly care, we programmers are basically treated as gods.

As for music, I like Hardstyle and Drum and Bass primarily. Examples: “Phuture Noize & Devin Wild - Waves”, DnB: “Telomic & Susan H - Underwater”. I’ll be visiting the DnB festival “Liquicity festival” this weekend so I’m very hyped right now

LazerFX ,

Really? Come to the C# side… We have all those, and concise code too.

MxRemy ,

I work in a makerspace, that’s in a public library.

weeeeum ,

What are your tips for a library opening a tiny maker space? Some libraries near me have been given grants to have a “tool library” section, with some work benches and basic hand tools, that can be borrowed.

MxRemy ,

I think my biggest suggestion might be to try to avoid the huge industry of companies selling “makerspace” stuff to libraries, i.e. GlowForge, etc. All of it is wildly overpriced and underpowered, at the supposed tradeoff of having a lot of support. It’s a bad trade, the support isn’t worth it.

Try to build your own open source equipment, like Voron for 3d printing, OpenFlexure for microscopes, all the Precious Plastics designs for plastic scrap processing, etc. Building these from scratch is ultimately cheaper. Also, it means you’ll know how to fix anything that could possibly go wrong, since you know it inside and out

Don’t worry about not having the necessary skills/experience. It’s all very learnable by anyone, and also there are definitely members of your community with those skills willing to help out. On that note, you really want the community running this thing more than the library admin. They know what they want/need.

Pay attention to the environmental and health consequences of this stuff EARLY ON, before you invest in something terrible. Use easily compostable materials like PHA and hempwood, or post-consumer recycled stuff like PETg from used soda bottles. Get into making/recycling your own materials if/when you can.

That’s what i can think of for now, hopefully that’s at all helpful.

I have a bachelors of science dual majored in microbiology and chemistry with a masters in education and I work in IT.

I used to not cook at all. Then I realized I can’t go on like this and started a challenge: Eat a self cooked meal every single day for a month. It was super challenging but I learned a lot (and initially wasted a lot of food due to bad planning). Now I still cook almost every day.

When you wanna know if a hobby is for you, try doing it every day for a longer time and see if you still enjoy it.

may we get some pointers on what did you start with?

ClassifiedPancake , (edited )

I don’t remember what meals I started with. Nothing too fancy but also not too basic. In Germany we have a cooking app called KptnCook that has very easy instructions with pictures and a shopping cart that’s integrated with major grocery chains to show the exact name and price of products. It was really helpful for the beginning and they have many recipes I still cook today. I’m sure something like that exists in other countries.

In the beginning it’s important to read the recipe first before you even begin to plan it. You might need some utensils that you don’t have or furiously need to search for during the cooking process. Later on when you’re more advanced you will probably have everything (or something similar) on hand. It also helps in the preparation. Sometimes there is a step to add multiple spices at once. You can pre-mix them in a small bowl.

Do the preparation first and have everything ready. American recipes already often list their ingredients pre-cut. But in Germany it will just say 1 onion, 3 tomatoes and so on and then in the recipe it will tell you how to prepare it.

Look up Youtube Videos. It will have techniques and cool recipes. Pick Up Limes, Yeung Man Cooking and The Nard Dog Cooks are my favorite channels.

Not as much of a metal head as I used to be, but these recent albums made me feel some of the magic of it again:

  • Civerous - Maze Envy
  • Anti-God Hand - Blight Year
LazerFX ,

Have you listened to any Brothers of Metal?

eezeebee ,
@eezeebee@lemmy.ca avatar

Nope. That’s a new name to me. Where should I start?

LazerFX ,

2 albums, so start with the first one, named Brothers of Metal. Emblas Saga picks up from there.

They’re very fun Norse themed songs.

They recently toured with gloryhammer and beast in black… And I wish I’d seen it live :⁠-⁠D

Depression and anxiety greatly hindered my educational goals, so I only have an associates degree in accounting. However, the woman I married has a master’s degree in computer science and a good, well-paying job. Our first child had medical issues requiring full-time care for several years, so I am now a stay-at-home dad to two kids, guiding them through homeschool.

Track_Shovel OP ,

Hey man. I got 2 young kids too, and it is N O T easy. I’m not SAH: we both work, but I can’t imagine how tough it is to go it alone every day like that.

Keep up the good work

WHARRGARBL ,

I have total Aphantasia. There’s no internal voice, ever. I’ve never pictured anything in my mind. No taste, touch, or smell can evoke a memory or whatever it is other people have. My husband says he battles negative voices from his past? I live in absolute peace.

Track_Shovel OP ,

Incredible

I never quite understood emotions until I started hrt at 32.

Highly recommend IGNEA if you like melodic metal. A few faves:
