What hobby was easier to get into than you thought? in c/[email protected]

Yeah I tried making a sour dough starter twice from scratch and it didn't have any oomph to it.

So I just bought one and suddenly boom, perfect XD

Oh happy to hear that it's valid advice! I got it from a speaker at a video game making thing I went to years ago that stuck with me.

Talking about it I suddenly have the urge to do it again xD It was very satisfying to compare last weeks drawing to this weeks, and the first drawing in the book to the last one. I can only imagine how satisfying it would be if I stuck with it for a year XD

I mean I'm not great in any way, but the way I did that I found very satisfying was find a tutorial where the end product is something you like and will take under an hour, or heck 10 minutes, idc.

Then follow it. The first time it'll probably come out garbage. That's okay! Think about which parts you did wrong.

Then the next day, follow the tutorial again. Then the next day, again. Each day try things differently to get closer to what the tutorial wants you to do.

After about a month I was super happy with what I drew and realized that if you just draw, you'll get better.

Same! Some of the recipes make it sound like you need 6 special tools and a climate controlled area. Freaking internet blogs trying to justify their existence by over complicating things.

What other hurdles have you guys heard them jump through? in c/[email protected]

So if the North agreed on slavery, there would have been no war because escaped slaves wouldn't have been a problem? So, slavery I think is perhaps the most accurate one word answer.

Crusader kings 2 is one of the best games ever published by Paradox interactive, and is a super in depth strategy/RPG that I couldn't even imagine on a phone.

So no.

I will abide by no Crusader King 2 hate!

Edit: Super auto pet slander as well! Many crimes committed in one sentence!

I'm dying to know what AI model he has that can maintain code XD

eBikes would be best vehicle during apocalypse, right? in c/[email protected]

Guess the concern is maybe in the apocalypse might not have a ton of food, but having a solar setup should be pretty easy.

But either way, need more bike riders in apocalypse movies!

I mean do you have a vehicle suggestion that lasts longer than 5 years?

You're not a "coffee person", you're most likely an addict (lemmy.world)
 

The people who say they need 3 cups of black coffee to start their day are just addicts with a high tolerance that experience mild withdrawal symptoms each morning.

If you feel like that, it's your body crying for you to take a break.

If you like an occasional cup of coffee or energy drink to get through something, then that's fine. But if you ever feel like one isn't working like it used to, you should take a break from caffeine to reset your tolerance, not up the dosage like an addict.

How cheap is the cheapest home for sale in your city/region? (lemmy.world)
 

In Utah County the cheapest "House" for sale is 600 square feet, 2 bed, 1 bath, at $300k.

So at current interest rate it would be $1,800 a month mortgage(assuming you put the 60k down payment! A decent amount more if you do 3% down.)

The cheapest condo/town in utah valley is 205k, 1,100 square feet, on a 400 square foot lot. But due to a $500 HOA fee the monthly cost is still 1,700 a month (assuming 20% down).

With 3.5% down they'd both be closer to 2.1k +PIMI.

So yeah, how is where you live doing?

What movie had a really good non spoiler marketing campaign? (lemmy.world)
 

Went to a movie theater and saw a trailer for a movie where I was interested in the first 30 seconds of it, but the trailer then showed what looked like something probably from the last 10 minutes and spoiled the entire movie, so lost all interest.

So what movies come to mind as having done really good, where it makes you interested and gives you an idea of the movie, but doesn't ruin any big reveals?

Surely a small amount of effort every day is better than a monthly emergency and panic... right brain? Right? (lemmy.world)

In Disney's Coco everyone cared about evidence showing their favorite celebrity stole music, which is probably the most unrealistic part of it. (lemmy.world)
 

That kid would have gotten a million death threats and his house maybe burned down if in the real world if he came out with evidence to try and discredit someone's favorite dead celebrity.

Whats something that is only worth getting the expensive version of? (lemmy.world)
 

I grew up with $20 walmart blenders, and hated anything that required a blender.

Recently bought a ninja and there is no going back. I'll never use a crappy blender again.

Anything else like that?
