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.

On the low-low - I still use Youtube like...90% of the time. I don't have a Google account anymore, but almost all of the content I love is on there. I have a Peertube account, but I haven't really spent a majority of time on it. I'd watch it though, seriously.

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'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.

Hehehe, I tried looking up pics. Idk why I didn't think of archive. Gave a glance, I thought - these are a great base. I have often thought how much of these things can we reuse as a people if we collected enough of these materials. I feel like this is a premium example of this.

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.

Oh yeah, this is a good idea too. When I used to work at a mom and pop we did this. I forgot about it until you said something. We did use our own air compressor and bubble wrap (not sure what to call this packaging otherwise, but it's those tubular inflatable packaging materials) for delicate glass materials. Otherwise everything else was just a reused product. Solid suggestion =)!

Have any visuals for the collages? Would love to see them with my peepers.

Hehehe! I move a crazy amount, and swear by utilizing cardboard for jank-furniture. I have a cabinet I made to squirrel my things away with a bit of fabric, cardboard, and tape. I love stuff like this. Thanks for the share =)

Ooo, got any resources? Pass the deets m'friend! Thank you by the by, for the suggestion =)

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.
