Got paid so bought a couple of ton bags of compost to finally finish filling a polytunnel I got this year. Bit behind schedule for growing so might not be my most productive year but it’s all a learning process

Was consistently in the top 15 or 20 in my age group (obstacle course racing) and was gearing up to aim for a podium finish but got rear ended on the way home from work one day in November so in recovery for a back Injury. Hoping I can get back to it again by the end of the year to but gotta hurry up and wait.

Started growing my own veg a year or two ago so getting steadily better at that and enjoying the process. (this one kinda skirts the line between just being self sufficient and a hobby though so make of it what you will)

Similar to others, pretty adequate at plenty of other stuff, the two above just immediately come to mind

Mühle do some really nice safety razors. Depending on your budget, you might consider them expensive but honestly, one handle and a ten pack of blades and you’ll have broken even compared to a Gillette mach 27 cold fusion or whatever because once you have the handle, the blades are super cheap

I’m just going to leave this here… Best most mundane purchase I’ve ever made! Regular openers can eat a dick after using this type! https://youtu.be/i_mLxyIXpSY

Nice, thanks for the suggestion! Distilling is illegal where I live and goodness knows I don’t need yet another hobby right now but I love learning about it!

Buckin Billy Ray - interesting videos about cutting trees down and servicing chainsaws. A little bit unchained (excuse the pun) in a wholesome way as he seems to randomly intersperse his videos with positive affirmations like ‘be kind’ ‘love your friends’ which is kind of wholesome

Way out west - an older English guy living in the West of Ireland making things like a railway for transporting garlic

I did a thing - a hilariously unhinged aussie bloke

James Hoffman - for coffee. And hames joffman also

Karl Rock - travels around India/Pakistan exploring the places

Mike okay - travels to really off the beaten track places like Iraq.

Maximus ironthumper - many videos, the project kermit series is him rebuilding a land rover defender from scratch

Still it - distilling and making spirits

Was really disappointed when that one came out… His stuff was great up to that point but now it feels… It’s got an ick now.

Reading a book in English class. Had a high school English teacher that was out sick half the time and spent literally all of the remaining time they were actually in to teach us, reading through the assigned novel for the curriculum. (barely 20% of the curriculum overall) I was/am an avid reader so had the novel finished on my own in about a week and a half and got bored of listening to the terrible accents and voices being attempted by the teacher so Brought in my own book from the library and hid that in the cover of the prescribed novel to read. Teacher caught me and sent a letter home to my parents. Absolute nonsense!

Toxic crusaders! A sidescroller based on the toxic avenger movie.

Women are cute and I think I speak fast enough to get the news

You make a fair point but we can’t let perfection be the enemy of progress on this though, the stakes are too high… Better to get the movement off the ground and down politicians throats so they take it seriously. The details we can work out as it gets to the point of being taken seriously by European Parliament

Yeah but that’s not including a primary residence or any salary based remuneration. So if you take that into account then it’s entirely reasonable as a starting point. It also states that the calculation would be influenced by cost of living in a given country so places with HCOL would potentially be a larger amount.

Don’t forget as well, it would likely be modeled on progressive taxation therefore any tax of this nature would only apply on anything above the €1.25M proposed figure

The rich can leave if they want. They can’t take their assets with them so we can tax the shit out of their assets while they pack their bags. The whole point of this is redistribution of wealth. This isn’t targeting a doctor or lawyer or some other highly paid individual earning six figures, this is targeting the truly wealthy, People hoarding generational wealth

This type of shit is the reason we’re fucked, not because the average consumer. Isn’t recycling hard enough. Companies should be held responsible for their fucking waste streams and severely fined if this type of thing happens. It’s their responsibility to ensure it gets disposed of or reused or whatever in an environmentally safe way.

Enjoying the first weekend of not doing anything or going anywhere in nearly two months, did a nice long run yesterday and I’m currently languishing with a cup of tea watching the world go by outside!

It’s like the swamps of dagobah but with more intrigue!
