  • I do photography, archery and 3d printing.

    Photography seems to only invite critique, archery tends to be a short subkect of conversation but 3d printing usually leads to the most questions and takes up a larger part of the conversation.

    When i played bass, no one really showed any interest other than one friends who caught me playing a small part of something i was figuring out how to follow it up and wanted to sample it. Which eventually led to nothing.

    I designed a silencer for airsoft in fusion360 and already sold 10, a friend asked me to print a spitfire and i eventually summoned up the idea to make some spitfire exhausts he could mount on his spitfire themed mini cooper, my archery club has these plastic stars that tend to be used on the carnival for air guns so i designed some custom ones with their logo “just because”. I also printed some trophy’s which i still have to give out.

    Once you get a reliable 3d printer and learn the software well enough, it is an amazing hobby.

    The wife paints miniatures (think warhammer for example) and she needs plinths for her competition models. So i shit out a custom plinth within an hour including print time. It’s so awesome and after 5 years i’m still amazed when i get to hold something that was nothing more than a digital design a mere hour before, i have a mini factory inside my house that only produces what i tell it to…it’s absolutely insane.





  • You won’t get me off adblock, as of recently i’ve come to find we get significantly more ads compared to friends and family.

    My dad plays wordfeud, so i install and play a set with him…about 5 seconds in i get frustrated at the 4th ad and my dad goes: “which ads”.

    My friends keep telling me i’m taking the youtube ads far too serious as they are only 10 seconds and show it to me too.

    My youtube ads are 1 minute unskippable blocks before and after 1m 51s videos. I’ll get a 1min ad block halfway into a 5 minute video even though youtube themselves claim they don’t do that.

    How the fuck am i so fucked when it comes to ads, my dads phone is almost completely ad free. Heck the google top suggestions that are basically paid for ads don’t even show up on his phone.

    He can play those free apps (advertisement feeding software) without getting any ads and he’s adamant his phone isn’t modified.



  • I know it’s not about me, but this definitelt cleared up why i run from people in my free time.

    They always express how they think i do things, like i’m at work or something. While i do things for joy, i take a detour home on my roadbike because the speed i can propel myself at brings me joy and a bit of a thrill too. The scenery is also very enjoyable.

    But then another roadcyclist shows up and tells me how i’m doing it all wrong, how speed isn’t a good measurement of performance.

    Fuck yo performance brother, stop. It ruins my fun.

    I just pirate that porn, heck many of them charge for their OF while they post the same shit that’s on their insta and when they do release something worthwhile you gotta dunk another 50 to get it.

    While already spending 8 bucks a month just to see a mirror of their instagram.

    Just sell the damn video for 58 bucks and leave out the bullshit part of the deal. They’re just playing into addiction related habits to get you to spend more.






  • Ah i see, time for ford to go down in the history books.

    Not like that will happen, but i truly think they deserve that as a result for even considering this.

    I’m already sick of the amount of ads that find a way into my private living space, but i’ve managed to negate 90% of them.

    “We need to make money” yeah sure, but not at the cost of me. If you want to make money off of me i need you to sell me stuff i get to keep and are actually worth the cost.

    I work too much and make too little to allow them to invade my private space.
