Multiple times I have found satisfaction and joy in reading non-fiction or how to books about a certain topic and then deep diving. With a library nearby you can avoid spending any real money. Almost every book about a topic has other books as references or recommendations which leads you down a hole of information about things you can learn about and implement. I am currently deep into a research hole about plant identification, herbalism, wild food forging and permaculture. This is great since I can then implement these in my garden this spring but I enjoy the learning part just as much as the doing. Its a fun way to see what interests to you. It doesn’t have to last forever but you will keep the knowledge

I always recommend roleplaying games like DnD or pathfinder as a hobby since it has a built in social and private element to it. You can join a group at most local game stores or by looking for organized play. Both Pathfinder and DnD have organized learning sessions where you can learn to play. Both allow you to start for free.

The good part is there is a regular scheduled social element usually weekly and between time you can do things yourself. That includes reading rules, making minis, practicing voices, writing modules, reading old source book, watching live streams, making maps etc. You don’t have to do all of those but you can really go in depth or as shallow as you want. All of the things you do my yourself will enhance the enjoyment of the group which is a great as well.

Turning cooking from a chore that needs to happen to something you enjoy is the best. Also makes you spend less eating out and to eat healthier. I live to Eat. Not Eat to live

Dice or mince them as fine as possible. They will just fade into nothing

At a small enough size they don’t have a texture just kind of float into the background. Got to dice those babies

That would suck. Sad sad life without the Allum family

When someone says they hate onions you know they are the most boring person ever.

Just started using it. Got a great deal on sushi and pastries last week from two new stores. I want to try the grocery this week

Fish > Shark > Whale

I’ve really been seeing this for programming questions and it’s infuriating. It’s dozens of different sites that are either copying the one stack overflow forum or an endless repeat of the same question. It wasn’t even 2 years ago that you could find the answer easily. Now it’s all crap and so hard to find the official documentation.

I second Minneapolis and the Twin Cities. Its large enough that there everything you can look for. All of the professional sports team including a new women’s hockey and soccer league as well as the big four sport leagues. A great music scene with First-Avenue being an anchor which brings touring bands here often. Since its small you can get out into nature from the cities with very little effort. You can’t really go anywhere else easily so it makes it feel small as well.

Minnesota has one of the lowest unemployment rate of any state still I think. So take a look at jobs before moving here but I think with the unemployment rate you should be get a job in the Twin Cities. Might need to look into it

It’s important for relationships to treat each other as a person first. Later on it’s important to treat someone like a person when it’s appropriate and an object only when they want to. It’s a hard skill to do especially when young and horny

I used to hate statistics classes in college since they were very focused on what the formulas were and how to do them manually. It was tedious and boring. However, in my Master in Data Science I ended up loving those classes. It was no longer what the formulas were and how to make them. The computer did all that for us in a single function. It was about how to apply them, what logical conditions are needed and how they can break. When moving away from the numeric side of math into the symbolic and logical side I loved it lots more. That may be the case with you

Muppet Christmas Carol.

A reminder that the true meaning of Christmas is scaring rich people into being more generous. Also Kermit

It’s just our speaker I know

We love our record player. It’s soothing to listen to a whole album that’s higher quality and to take the time to pick it out. We still stream but it’s nice to own something analog

I hate having to rent everything. I am thinking about going back to DVDs for movies.

I’m hoping this is a stock image but you never know.

My wife and I have been watching Lessons in Chemistry. Brie Larson is very good in the show and I’ve been liking it so far.

Any good? By that is it the right kind of bad to be good
