Comic Strips

I mean, if you're bored with life, an expensive and time-consuming hobby might be exactly what you need.

Me when I got back into horses after 13 years.

Send help, I have an addiction for grooming supplies. I own like 4 stiff bristle brushes.

Aw c'mon, let the purple guy get addicted to skydiving.

I used to want to make art

Now I just want to rest

I'm just so tired

Me: “fucking tariffs. I’ll never an Orion O6 now. Oh well.” Amazon: “hey, we have a close enough knockoff from orange pi now. It’s cheaper, uses almost exactly the same chip, and available in the US right now.”

-glares- God fucking damnit!

I was like, “I’ll just check out Kill Team, that way I can limit it to just the starter set and a few extra teams maybe, seems fun.”

Anyway, I just need one more Eliminator Squad with a Phobos Librarian and another Redemptor and I’ll be up to 3000 points of Blood Angels. I’ll be dead before they’re all painted.

Astro-Photography.... quality of yoyr pictures is:

10% skill 90% how much you spend on equipment.

So far, I have started collecting Classic Oliver people sunglasses from the 2000s. Niche fragrances from perfume houses such as Kilian and Parfum De Marly. And then theres the lego...

And I tell ya, even when you go looking for fragrances that arent expensive, you end up buying more trying to find the perfect one. And all those 20 quids start adding up fast. But the sunglasses, the fucking sunglasses. I live in Scotland, its not even that fucking sunny. The summer is like one week a fucking year. In saying that, my pride and joy right now is actually a more recent pair. Victory LA in gold with a burgundy lens. So fucking cool. It really is a shame to put them on my ugly mug lol.

Fuck, I just remembered I also collect power tools that I rarely use. Spent almost 200 quid on a purple Makita impact driver. I have zero need for an impact driver lol

Did you know that the LD2410 can be wired directly into an ESP32 or equivalent because it operates at the 3V3 level and has an RTC GPIO that can be used as a wakeup pin? This is a huge upgrade from the LTR5-series of light sensing chips which all use the I2C protocol, because those need a UART chip on the device to handle the clock signal with a 5V open drain, despite being an easier 2-wire implementation. The send protocol of I2C slave devices are much simpler than the 1-wire or Dallas protocol used for multiplexing sensors, and relies on sending information bits in 60microsecond intervals when the clock bit is high, this ensures....

Me and selfhosting :3

My hobbies are distrohopping and reading books

Cooking is a cheap, easy to start hobby with endless possibilities for development.

Here's why bread making is the best hobby:

1. Minimal equipment and ingredients to get started

2. Amount of time is up to you. You can select a recipe that suits your needs. Plus you can go and do other things while the dough proofs and cooks, so if you make a 3 hour loaf, you still get some of that time back.

3. Most of bread making is working on your skills and knowledge and is highly rewarding as a result

4. You make tasty bread that will either contribute to your weekly pantry or makes a great gift for others.

5. Store bought bread sucks ass. Once you start making your own, you'll never go back.

If I ever make enough money to really get into motorcycle track riding (many track days a year with a track prepped bike), I will probably not have the time for getting there and all the maintenance...

Activism and community organizing is a great affordable hobby. Can’t say it’s easy on the calendar though.
