I think about my next endeavors a lot. I make it a point to invest some time in them now while I still have the energy. I know some people who retired and felt a little lost because work was their raison d’etre or they were waiting for retirement to pick up a hobby.

If I hit FI, I plan on immersing myself in my hobbies (playing guitar, photography, gardening), building furniture for family and friends, and exercising more. And spending time in nature.

Also, since my dog is a recue, my altruistic pipe dream is to make enough money so I can buy some land and adopt a bunch of shelter dogs. Maybe even start a non-profit so I could pay the people who work at rescues a decent wage bc some of them are saints.

GM is bringing back the Bolt next year. Having owned both a Fiesta and a Bolt, I much prefer the latter

I hope you can take some solace in the fact that you gave her a good life and made her feel loved. May you one day meet again.

I’m a big proponent of buying local whenever possible. This plus something similar for physical products is really useful no matter where you live.

I feel this. Getting tired of living through historical events.

Vimium. Allows you to use your keyboard to navigate instead of needing to always reach for the mouse.

Switch to Firefox

These are great, learned 2 new words I never heard before. Slightly related, but in fine fettle can also be used to refer to someone in good shape (mentally or physically).

Own a '22 Bolt EUV. Been a phenomenal car for our needs, e.g. daily commute, grocery runs, weekend family trips w/ the dog, etc. Hope more car companies continue to offer smaller, efficient vehicles instead of focusing solely on large trucks and SUVs.

Awesome shot!

Nice progress. A sharp tool makes a world of difference. As far as the shavings, mine usually go in the composter. A buddy of mine gives them away to people with chickens.

The temperature difference between streets in our neighborhood that have trees and those that don’t is eye-opening. Even more so with parks. Trees create such a pleasant micro-climate.

Ah, you’re back

The kicker is that a vast amount of these stadiums are paid for by tax payers. We’re subsidizing billionaires to build these things that we still have to pay to use instead of investing in public spaces and transportation/infrastructure projects

Cool, hadn’t heard this was happening. May try to catch a showing

Same, the physical camera button and 3.5mm headphone jack on the Xperia are awesome

Haven’t had this particular brand, but I’ve made vegan musubi before with another. Turned out great and tbh I couldn’t tell the difference. The only downside was the price difference.

That’s awesome. Almost looks like fan art, but IMO has more charm than CGI

Nice! Looks like ideal weather. Was this a loop or an out-and-back?
