What's bringing you joy?
Hi all,
I have enjoyed all of the replies in this thread, and it has brought me happiness to read about yours.
I also recognize that not everyone is feeling joy right now, and that's ok too, life is not always fun to live, sometimes it's downright brutal. If you're going through a time like that, I wish you the best in getting through it, there are few forces stronger than the power of the human will.
I think there are a few main themes here in the replies that seem to be spirit boosters, and let's be honest none of these are unexpected, but I think it can be nice to have a reminder of what's good.
In no particular order :
- Pets
- Family
- Friends
- Children
- Partners
- Accomplishments
- Projects
- Art
- Hobbies
- Freedom
- Teaching
- Health
Now I don't think you need to have every one of these things in your life to truly be happy, but if you're feeling like nothing is bringing you joy, maybe one of these things might.
I think most importantly, gratitude is the attitude, if something is making your life better, taking a second to recognize it can make it feel even better. If someone is bringing you joy, make sure they know it deep down in their soul

I’ve been working on restoring an unpublished musical that was written in the 1980s, the playwright who originally wrote it passed away and was never able to publish it. It’s a sci-fi show that got a disturbing amount of things right about the world now, and it resonated with me deeply when I first read through the material.
We’ve so far been able to transcribe by ear some music and recover the other music projects from floppy drives, and have even been recreating the synth patches he used. I’ve even been interviewing cast members who were part of the show when it was being workshopped, to get a better picture of where everything fits in the show’s history. My hope is that maybe by the time I’m done it’ll be in a state where it’s more likely to be picked up and produced one day - because before I got to it it was very disparate and kind of scattered across a lot of different folders without much context.
Wow, that sounds like a labour of love!

You can do the same in the original console with Homebrew apps.
I don't think GSM changes the render resolution of the game, but only the output resolution.

Actually, the thing that is causing me stress is also my source of joy.
I quit weed last week. Going through withdrawals which are pretty bad, but I know in the long term, it's going to be worth it to have a clear mind.

This is so fucking cool, nobody I know has a crow bro. How did y'all grow to be friends?
Crows are smart. Look at them and toss some unsalted peanuts in their general direction and they'll understand what you're doing. After a couple of visits they'll recognize you and slowly get more relaxed around you. They each have their own personalities, where some will be easier to befriend than others, so just give them space and time.

Rest well and I hope you make a full recovery and enjoy this time of peace in your life
Thank you!

Been there too many times to count, you got this!

We are in Arizona, high elevation so it’s not as hot as the big cities. (Over 5,000 ft)
We want to order water delivery first, then collect rain water after we build a roof over the RV.
We have solar and it’s been enough for us so far, but I know when it rains during monsoon season that I may need a generator.
I'm assuming you mean petrol/diesel, but depending on how much wind you get and power you need, you might be about to use wind or some kind of gravity fed.

Factorio!
The factory must grow!

We do have a lot of wind most of the year, my neighbor gave me 2 wind power generators, but I need to get them and install them.
I was saying that when it’s really rainy the clouds will block the solar, so I might need a gas power generator to keep my batteries going. We have only been here a few months so not really sure what to expect.
Right now we are very light on power, the most power hungry is our portable iceco fridge that uses about 40w of power on and off. We have mostly rechargeable lights and phones, and my laptop that is USB-C to charge.

I quit a higher paying job to move to the Columbia River gorge. Sure I make a lot less money but I'm so happy being out in this beautiful area. There's something calming about it

Chest freezers are supposedly extremely energy efficient because cold air is denser than warm air and goes down, and as long as you don't open the lid, it just stays cold.

I quit my unecessarily stressful job with no plan next, and I feel like everything is possible now!

That is how our iceco fridge is, it opens at the top like a cooler.

Oh yeah I looked up the brand, that looks really solid!
