I mostly make chocolate based candies, but I dabble in other candies from time to time like caramels, candied nuts, candied fruits/ginger/etc. I like to make candies around Christmas time to give to family and friends as they make really nice gifts.
It’s really all going to depend on your tastes and lifestyle. Like I could recommend that you get a dog and start learning how to train dogs as a hobby, but that’s just not going to work for everyone. What’s important is that you explore things and maybe even try some hobbies that could potentially improve your well-being. Maybe you live somewhere near a good hiking spot and you could take up hiking to get outdoors and get more exercise. Maybe you could learn how to cook and explore how to make healthy meals that suit you better. Or maybe you just want to create something and you could take up woodworking or make model planes or something. The possibilities are endless, you just need to decide what you’d like to get out of it.
Personally, I spend most of my time for work indoors on a computer, so most of my hobbies involve using my hands and getting outdoors. I took up a lot of extra hobbies during covid for obvious reasons. So here goes my list of >!hobbies that will maybe give you some ideas:
Other things I’ve considered taking up but haven’t for various reasons:
I had known for a long time that I wanted to do something creative. Throughout highschool I was lucky enough to be able to take various classes that would allow me to try out different things. I ruled out music and was struggling to decide if I wanted to be an illustrator of some kind or an interior designer or maybe an architect? But then I took a class called “computer graphics” which was a stupid name for the class. It was actually a class about graphic design and it seemed to fit into everything I do well just perfectly. Looking back it was way more obvious that I should be a graphic designer as I used to do things for fun like doodle out magazine layouts and make weird computer art for icons and things back when that was how the Internet worked. Like what kind of kid does that for fun? A future graphic designer apparently.
Do I look like I know what a OneDrive is?
“in seconds.” Ah yes, clearly the best point made for this product.
Well for some… It’s a thing you put fireworks into…
You joke, but when my parents bought an electric car, the cops in their small town started harassing them. My mom drives like a saint but they keep pulling her over and giving her tickets that aren’t valid. She said she’s caught them waiting for her to leave the grocery store so they can follow her out of the parking lot and try to catch her doing something wrong. But she doesn’t, so they just pull her over anyway. This isn’t even in a rural town where people are rolling coal. It’s just a small suburb. Why do they care?
This movie is less about being mad at Nazis and more of making you look deep inside yourself and ask if you wouldn’t have done something similar. It’s more about watching regular people live their lives and they just happen to be Nazis who are heavily involved in the Holocaust. A particular scene I think about a lot involves a board room where people are talking about seemingly normal business activities like funding and logistics. Except they’re actually talking about how to build Auschwitz… but it seems eerily similar to any normal business meeting you might imagine today. That’s what makes this movie so good and so different from most other Holocaust movies. Highly recommend.
Have you seen the movie Zone of Interest? That scene got me. Actually every scene got me. It’s just a hauntingly good movie.
I work for one of the largest health care companies in the US and I can attest that they are genuinely concerned with what Amazon is doing right now.
They’re called yip yips and they’re frickin hilarious!
That’s a trick they teach you in art school. You can use contrasting colors to make something seem brighter or stand out more than it normally would. In this case, they used blue and orange. A very lovely blue I think.
This is the last one for a very long time. But the next 20 years it looks like Australia is going to be doing all the hogging.
You mean like a… Convection oven!!!
We have it on lemmy, but it’s not very active :'(
They have different sizes in the latest lineup. Including 3 smaller sizes that fit in the overhead. I got one that’s 22x14x9 which is perfect for most domestic flights in the US. But they also have smaller sizes and an international size.
I have recently needed to travel for work and my duffel bag was a pain in the butt to carry around the airport. All the rolling bags I saw for purchase didn’t seem well made and were pretty expensive while somehow not utilizing all of the available overhead space. Even well known brands like swiss gear seems to have critical break points on their luggage. The last trip I made, I noticed that all of the flight crew used the same brand of luggage that looked very well made and was reinforced in all the right areas. So I looked it up and found that their non-commercial line was just as shitty as everything else I was seeing, but their flight crew line was top tier… But only flight crew could buy it. So I found a website that would sell it to me! $240 for a suitcase that looks like it will last my lifetime and fits the exact dimensions of the overhead space saving me $40 per trip to not check the bag (my company doesn’t cover checking bags). Return on “investment” is 6 flights or 3 round trips. The brand is Travelpro for anyone wondering. And the site I purchased from is mypilotstore.com. They even sell spare parts such as wheels/bearings or leather handles. Super happy with my purchase!!
Oh shit I thought this was vexillologycirclejerk for a sec. That’s a good one tho.
HOW DO YOU TURN THIS ON
