Hobbies that don't deserve their own thread Anonymage 02/17/18 (Sat) 19:55:05 No.41994[Reply][Last 50 Posts]

Every other board has their own /general/ and it might be better to post about little known hobbies here, rather than have a new thread that gets 2 replies.

How about horseback riding?

Pipe smoking/tobacco Anonymage 01/24/22 (Mon) 21:59:14 No.60825 [Reply]

Pipe tobacco is a hobby, right? There's the element of collecting pipes and trying various blends, which resembles wine tasting in how elaborately some people talk about them. Any wiz pipe smokers here? Any favourite blends you'd recommend? Show me your wizpipe(s) (no homo).

Here's my pipe and some tobacco I'm currently smoking. The one in the tin is Old Gowrie

Pipe tobacco is good for putting in cigarette tubes and papers, good for packing your own cigarettes.
I prefer the brands without anything toxic.
Love to be off of arsenic and cyanide, because of pipe tobacco.
Arsenic and cyanide actually fucking killed me.
Prepacked cigarettes aren't worth it; they're drenched in death, poison, severe retardation. And severe general impairments and severe general disabilities.

Pipe tobacco smells great, because it's non-toxic.
Tastes better, too.

I get Gambler brand tobacco.
Inexpensive, cheapest on the store market.

Smoked many a pipe. Try a pipe with a wider bowl. You can create more smoke. You'll feel like a dragon.

"It's Kornhoer himself I don't understand. That gadget—" he waggled a forefinger at the dynamo "—is a standing broad-jump across about twenty years of preliminary experimentation, starting with an understanding of the principles. Kornhoer just dispensed with the preliminaries. You believe in miraculous interventions? I don't, but there you have a real case of it. Wagon wheels!" He laughed. "What could he do if he had a machine shop? I can't understand what a man like that is doing cooped up in a monastery."

Secular and technical knowledge slowly gains importance. Something that began with the removal of the cross in the library, now we have this idea floating around that technical skill surpasses a life dedicated to God.

That's some grim foreshadowing. After they keep mentioning it I don't think the abbey will escape a war between Hannegan and Denver now. At least it looks like they are about to finish their mission of preserving old world knowledge until it can be used again. Thon Thaddeo will carry the torch now so it won't really be a burning of Alexandria.

I had a dream where I was browsing the Nintendo 3DS e-shop even though I haven't done that in maybe 10 years. Somehow I found a way to browse games by their developer and I was just going past a bunch of shovelware devs until I suddenly hit one that triggered a remote code execution exploit and infected my 3DS with malware.
The e-shop closed and my top screen started showing live footage of the inner camera while the bottom screen was some weird picture that somebody stitched together in Photoshop. There was a TTS voice telling the developer to make a desert-themed game. When that voice finished there was a sudden jump scare which played at maximum volume despite my volume slider being low. It scared the shit out of me. Afterwards it showed a popup saying that the video of me being jumpscared was being uploaded to their servers and that I should not power off the system while it was doing so. I tried using the internet slider to turn my 3DS' wifi connection off before the upload was complete but that didn't work.
After that I tried turning my 3DS off and on again but instead of going to the home menu the same exact sequence was just played again. This time the popup after the jumpscare said that this will now happen every single time I turn my 3DS on. All I did before I woke up after that was panick over the fact that some guy somewhere had a video of me being jumpscared.

My fellow wizards, help my please! Hear my plight!

Years ago I nearly died of disease (Covid19) and being bedridden for a month period with little to no food or water my ability to dream has diminished to the point of being nearly completely wiped from my skill tree. Is there any way to get this ability back or am I doomed to just go to the void every night?

I did the thing where I questioned the reality of my dream characters and they immediately turned silent and disappeared. I was sitting at a diner with a man and a talking dog and I said to them, "I wish I had writers like you two who gave me witty things to say. It's hard coming up with my own material. Wait, it's all just coming from my subconscious, isn't it?". And they just stared for a moment and then they were gone. There were some background characters in the diner but they acted like video game NPCs and had indistinct dialogue and only conversed amongst each other. The dream lost any sense of narrative after that.

As if to say fuck you, the dream booted me out and now I am wide awake at 2:00 AM. Not even my dreams want me.

Yes, its possible to developed caffeine addiction, I had a huge caffeine addiction when I was young, I would get headaches if I didnt drink coffe and I had trouble to sleep. Its not that hard to lose the addiction, you just need to reduce the quantity of coffe that you drink. Also, avoid to drink coffe at night

Nothing worthy of shock videos online or anything, but more of a life/outlook observation: strip back the systems of control - government, religion, wealth (and wealth disparity). What's left are people just trying to get through their day. They probably won't be anything great, and after a generation or two most will be forgotten. I'm cool with that and aspire to non-greatness myself.

Does anyone here do deadlifts? I'm thinking about working to get a god-tier deadlift. My first goal is to make it up to 405lbs deadlift and then see how far I can take it from there. Right now I can do 255 for 5x5. Any wizbros here with tips?

Right now I'm 80 lbs overweight and need to stop eating so much food. The problem is I'm addicted to food and since I'm a 28 year old virgin, it's not like I have much else to do so it's gonna be hard to cut back on the food. Does anyone also have tips on how to feel full and not feel the need to eat food?

A useful diet tidbit. If you're a food enthusiast, transform your meal into a delish by using different seasoning and adapting existent recipes to your goals. For example, I make yakisoba with extra meat and vegetables and less noodles.
A huge beef or chicken thigh with great seasoning and some BBQ sauce (here's your strategic sugar) as a full meal, for instance. If you think the sodium is too much, chug down your water. Impossible to feel empty. And an idea for a snack:
>ground lean meat (80%)
>oat powder (20%)
Make meatballs with those ingredients, go light on the seasoning and store them in the freezer. Whenever you crave for crap food, shove some of these bad boys in an air fryer and you're good to go.

I don't deadlift because I am too tall and have slipped discs in my back. Wish I could tho.

I wont be reading all the replies but I am also addicted to eating and how I go about not eating all day is drinking a lot of water and tea. Makes me feel full and drinking a cup of tea almost gives me the same feeling as snacking. And if you really want something to eat just eat rice cakes, celery and stuff like that

Random, VERY RANDOM piece of advice from a 30-something fatty who gets his food from a bakery/from his mum

If you're like me - as in not designed for high education - you really, REALLY ought to try to upgrade yourself to a cook, who *professes* at spending his time to process fine stock into fine food.

I mean, a proper *trades school* cook - if you are a NEET - would give a job that allows you both a earn $$ salary (not $ poor, not $$$ rich, but have some room for fun) AND you'll probably get a chance to recycle undemanded food as your extra calorie supply, kekw.

I don't have any. I wish I had though. I got burned out so hard I deleted my four year worth of drawings and swore to never pick a stylus again. It was too painful to stare at the archive and realize I DON'T ENJOY DRAWING/CAN'T FORCE MYSELF TO DRAW at all nowadays. Two years ago I was drawing like crazy, studying anatomy and shit. I actually was interested in drawing and getting better. Something changed at some point. It became a struggle with no joy in it. I can't force myself to draw. I gain some sparks of interest back when I drink kratom here and there but it is nothing to build my passion back. I am a fuck up.

Are FWD (front wheel drive) bikes better to ride at a hill or something going up? Or is the experience just the same with RWD (rear wheel drive AKA common bikes)

>Are FWD (front wheel drive) bikes better to ride at a hill or something going up?
Not really.
Recline bikes and other such bikes that sometimes have drive trains in the front are more about the advantages of the unusual ride position for comfort and lower drag, and being able to use different muscle groups that have more endurance at the expense of less sprinting power.

It anecdotally makes climbing harder. Especially if you have to balance.

If you are taking about e-bikes, it doesn't matter.

Anny wizzie into MTB?

I've been trying out some trails where I live (I'm blessed to live in the middle of the Alps).

I'm recovering now because I fell so wanted to know some tips by more advanced wizzie that is already more into it than I currently am.

I made a weird move of using a mountain bike as my pointA-pointB bike. Not too comfy, buy not too shabby either. High quality stuff just wouldnt break.

>I've been trying out some trails where I live (I'm blessed to live in the middle of the Alps).

Whoa. I have some trails too. I'm gonna assume your Alps can be either Swiss or Français

0bviously. WEAR A HELMET
1. pressurised WD-40 or such to straight-up spray your bike's chain from dirt and rust
2. Your gear AND your chain both get very smooth over time so you won't be able to use your old gears with your new chain. Keep a chain repair kit in some kind of "bike stuff shoebox"
3. Make sure to keep a shoeboxful of little things for your bike. Never scatter your bike things across your house (even a 50 meter apartment can turn into a quest room if you hoard stuff without organising, in my embarrassing experience)
4. I am gonna assume you may live in Switzerland. I don't know, check your laws (local laws included) regarding headlights, rear lights, honk-honk klaxons vs bike bells vs neither. To my knowledge, Switzerland compared to Germany is what Germany is compared to *the rest of Europe* in terms of being eager to fine you for $$$ over a lack of a 5$ thingy
