      Fabrics, pattern drafting, and sewing techniques. Historical clothing and corsetry. History, soooo much history. Religious movements, belief systems, and paradigms. Language, writing, and literature. Plants and gardening. Birds and bugs. Tea and tisanes. Houses, their interior systems and construction, renovating them, maintaining them, and hacking their unique quirks and issues.

        Cats. I probably argue too much with people about the "correct" descriptions of coat colors/patterns, as I really like learning about the genetics behind them. Lots of other cat related stuff too, such as diet & training/behavior.

          This is antithetical to the original proposition.

          I bought a Ryobi sander with its battery and charger for $20 at a garage sale to do one small job, I have a bunch of Makita tools and batteries but it would be completely foolish to buy a new Makita sander for one job.

          I have a greenworks battery system and love my electric lawn mower, but when the stupid edger finally broke, I didn't buy the same stupid tool that takes a giant 4AH battery because I'm tied into the system, I bought a lightweight Makita edger that shares the battery with my drill driver.

          When I need cheap battery tools for one job, I buy Ryobi. When I'm upgrading, it's probably Makita.

          When I needed to cut down a few damaged trees, I bought a wired chainsaw and a long extension cable.

          If I just stuck to Makita because I have that battery system, I'd be sitting on thousands of dollars in Makita tools I'll use once a year at most.

            Several things, but for a while it's been stand pipes. They're everywhere, and fun to find and point out on buildings. On vacations I like to get my picture by them and my kids laugh when I stop to check them out. Eventually I want to make a parody song about them.

                Rucking, lifting, Wing Chun, Star Citizen, Stoicism (the og version). I try not to monologue too much on them but it takes restraint.

                  Ice, ice, baby! I love fancy ice. Have gear to make crystal clear big ice for whiskey, and also a countertop ice maker for what the kids call "the good ice".

                  It's just such a cheap upgrade to any drink.

                  I recently got a clear big ice maker and read into directional freezing. It's pretty cool (pun intended) and nice that little waste and if something doesn't work, you can just try again right away.

                    Radio transmitting.
                    Its a quite large rabbit hole.
                    Right now i upload some data of ships i receive with a small setup and earn a test crypto currency.

                    But you can do loads and loads of things, rtl-sdr.com is a nice cheap start.

                    Oh and locally running AI models. (Via GPT4All) Insane how far we are.

                        shaving as a trans women (both facial and body)

                        Phillips Oneblade $50

                        intended for men with a beard, waterproof and lithium battery.

                        honestly a letdown in literally every way for me. Not a close shave at all and other electric ones do way better in that regard. Also not a lot of area for legs and doesn't even give the smooth leg feeling 😠
                        Upside that there's not really any chance for ingrown hairs, which means it's pretty good for the pubic area. I don't shave down there often though.
                        (obligatory I am NOT the intended target for this product)

                        face: 5/10
                        body: 1/10
                        pubic: 9/10

                        ladyshave $18

                        this is intended for women's leg hair. Not waterproof and takes 2 AA batteries.

                        pretty good actually. It's wide and gets close enough for me. As advertised. I use on legs before IPL.

                        face: 3/10 (works in a pinch)
                        body: 7/10
                        pubic: 6/10

                        men's razors $?

                        I actually have a permanent scar on my thumb from when I was about 7 and messed with my dads in the shower lol

                        when I hit puberty I just used my dads old one with new heads, his 'guidance' was pretty unhelpful for me because I thought they were for legs too and got a bunch of red dots / nicks because of it especially because I was really shy about shaving and was too scared to ask for shaving cream. works well enough for what it's intended for, though it's annoying to setup and use. Use a women's for body if you can.

                        face: 7/10 (with cream)
                        body: 3/10 (w/o cream)
                        pubic: 0/10 (w/o cream)

                        Women's razor $?

                        I don't love wet shaving but this is pretty good!
                        also, ALWAYS get the Gillette Venus ones. I've tried other ones and they're not as good and I always go back despite being more expensive.
                        gets clogged easy though.

                        facial: why/10
                        body: 9/10
                        pubic: 7/10 (will get clogged)

                        women's whatever the fuck

                        I left the handle part at home but for body this is the BEST, but is pretty clunky and expensive. reallly smooth and is amazing. however I wish the handle part wasn't just a big knub because it's difficult to do under the knee and behind the back

                        facial: no/10
                        body: 10/10 🥰
                        pubic: 3/10

                        flat edge razor $5

                        I got it on a DAMN cheap sale on Amazon, assume it's like 15. It said it was a "small business" from the US but I really doubt that due to the marketing and and assume it's just something from China.
                        Anyways, it works really well, too well. Even if you're really careful you'll feel a random stinging somewhere and look down and see blood. I feel like there's a skill floor I just have to learn but I have better alternatives. REALLY cheap blades though, like 15-50 cents.

                        I also threw it away because I would use the blades to selfharm (7 months clean except for an accident 🎉).

                        facial: x/10 (too risky for me)
                        body: 7/10
                        pubic: 2/10 (wayy too risky, don't try)

                        Braun 3 epilator $40

                        I lost it :<

                        this is a biblically accurate tweezer as my sister called it. She was too wimpy to use it and gave it to me. Lemme just say it HURTS the first time. Like on the floor crying hurts. Second time too. After a couple rounds it gets way better. However this one particularly doesn't ways pull out the hairs and can if you push down too hard you'll stop it which can be really annoying when you one hair that just won't get out. It will also
                        also sometimes you'll find ingrown hairs that you can't get because it's underneath the skin so I'll get a craft razor blade and ever so slightly hook it and go in with tweezers to pull it out. This is where the self harm accident earlier came from lol

                        but in return 3 WEEKS OF NO HAIR!!

                        exfoliate before, then use, then rinse with cold water and use unscented moisturizer, next day use TendSkin.
                        if you don't follow this to a T you'll get hella ingrown hairs.

                        face: no
                        body: 9/10
                        pubic: ok story time. one of my afab epilated their pubic area before having sex with their s/o and oh my God they regretted it SO bad. it hurt a TON. I imagine if you're into pain it'll work I guess??

                        braun 5 IPL $300

                        got this for Christmas and was essentially my only product. You use it after shaving (not epilation) I haven't been consistently using it because epilate mostly. Can't give a good review.

                        Braun Epilator (iirc v7 or v8?) $80

                        still in mail 🥲

                        Nair

                        use mens. women's ones suck and hardly do anything on amab hair. Also mens suck too, but it's better.

                        Phillips 5d electric

                        (I have it IRL, my cats just laying down next to me and id wake her up)
                        for me it's the GOAT of facial hair. Used it for years and absolutely love it. It just works. My use case for facial hair is pretty odd because I just have long sideburns that go down to the jawbone and some random ones under my chin. For my pretty uncommon use case it is AMAZING. Can't really recommend it for others but if you just have long sideburns get this 100%

                        in conclusion

                        I epilate and as it's growing in I use the chunky one for now the back to the Gillette Venus once my heads are gone.
                        If I'm IPL-ing I either use a Gillette Venus or ladyshave.

                        if anyone else has done this with skincare products let me know, I have some questions 🙂

                          game editor UI or maybe generally UI design as well.

                          once I learned about dear imgui I realize and could easily spot so many engines and desktop app built with dear imgui.

                          I think I've also seen a game engine, clearly built with dear imgui, but styled to look like Visual Studio.

                          There's someone written custom stylesheet for the CryEngine Sandbox editor to also make it look like Visual Studio. Speaking of which CryEngine used to be built with Windows MFC UI until CryEngine 5.

                          Then they switched to Qt, I assume the LGPL version because then maybe one of the reason they sort of "open-source" the engine (not really) probably because they attempted to comply with LGPL? but idk. But since version 5.6 the source code isn't updated anymore.

                          Although Lumberyard was a fork of CryEngine 3.x.x (uses MFC), Lumberyard eventually switched to Qt and so today, O3DE is also in Qt.

                          O3DE on linux nowadays is pretty stable, but I've only used it for rendering, not scripting games. admittedly I haven't had time to geek out on O3DE's UI

                          Godot editor is built on its own UI tooling. Probably not edited on the editor, I assume the UI tool can be worked via code. There's so many desktop app that also built using Godot, like Material Maker, and few 2D pixel art tool I forget its name.

                          Like Godot, Unreal Editor is built on Slate, their UI framework. The engine has 2 UI tools. Slate and UMG. For in-game UI, UMG is probably easier since it can be built in the editor and Blueprint. Slate UIs is built via C++, but is also used for complex game UI such as inventory. etc.

                          I also used Unreal Engine 3 via UDK and the editor is cool too.

                          I used to really like & follow Battlefield in BF1 era. The Frostbite Editor looks really amazing. I really want to touch the editor but o well there's no way to try a proprietary engine. DICE used to show off Frostbite a lot from 2009 to 2017 and showing Battlefield runing in the editor. I don't really see much newer Frostbite videos/screnshots.

                          Frostbite-era Battlefield does have a few modding tools and they tried to mimic the Frostbite Editor look. It looks pretty. I'm not sure the UI toolkit used.

                          Refractor editor for BF2 is meh though, and hard to use. Goes the same with Age of Empires IV Essence editor, looks meh. I think both are built on Windows UI tool.

                          Source's Hammer.. I like Source 2 Hammer but since it cannot be used on Linux I've yet to try it. Hammer for source 1 and goldsrc is okay, and hard to use.

                          Finally, Unity is what I've used more generally. But I really never dig up what the editor is made of somehow 🤣 I assume it's their own UI like Unreal & Godot. But I have no further clue to say.

                          I like UIs because they look amazing. especially game editors because it looks complex. I guess it's like people who like seeing trains. I do like trains as well but I never go out birdwatching a train.

                          I also like UI styles like Aero or Liquid Glass. Although I may have bias towards Aero due to nostalgia effect.

                          There's other game engine that have its editor made to look like MS Office UI with ribbons lol. It was NeoAxis engine and I think Stride/Xenko used to look like MS Office too. It looks unique.

                          Blender also have interesting history with its UI. Few overhaul in 2.5 and 2.8. but the latest Blender have the best UI. Sometimes I feel nostalgic with 2.79 because that's what I started with.

                          Lastly here's my fav editor UI (visually) in order. may not be 100% accurate to my actual feeling. feeling is super subjective amd can quickly change

                          1. Frostbite Editor
                          2. Unreal Editor 5.x

                            Entrance videos for wrestlers. I hate when it's just static text with their name.

                              game editor UI or maybe generally UI design as well.

                              once I learned about dear imgui I realize and could easily spot so many engines and desktop app built with dear imgui.

                              I think I've also seen a game engine, clearly built with dear imgui, but styled to look like Visual Studio.

                              There's someone written custom stylesheet for the CryEngine Sandbox editor to also make it look like Visual Studio. Speaking of which CryEngine used to be built with Windows MFC UI until CryEngine 5.

                              Then they switched to Qt, I assume the LGPL version because then maybe one of the reason they sort of "open-source" the engine (not really) probably because they attempted to comply with LGPL? but idk. But since version 5.6 the source code isn't updated anymore.

                              Although Lumberyard was a fork of CryEngine 3.x.x (uses MFC), Lumberyard eventually switched to Qt and so today, O3DE is also in Qt.

                              O3DE on linux nowadays is pretty stable, but I've only used it for rendering, not scripting games. admittedly I haven't had time to geek out on O3DE's UI

                              Godot editor is built on its own UI tooling. Probably not edited on the editor, I assume the UI tool can be worked via code. There's so many desktop app that also built using Godot, like Material Maker, and few 2D pixel art tool I forget its name.

                              Like Godot, Unreal Editor is built on Slate, their UI framework. The engine has 2 UI tools. Slate and UMG. For in-game UI, UMG is probably easier since it can be built in the editor and Blueprint. Slate UIs is built via C++, but is also used for complex game UI such as inventory. etc.

                              I also used Unreal Engine 3 via UDK and the editor is cool too.

                              I used to really like & follow Battlefield in BF1 era. The Frostbite Editor looks really amazing. I really want to touch the editor but o well there's no way to try a proprietary engine. DICE used to show off Frostbite a lot from 2009 to 2017 and showing Battlefield runing in the editor. I don't really see much newer Frostbite videos/screnshots.

                              Frostbite-era Battlefield does have a few modding tools and they tried to mimic the Frostbite Editor look. It looks pretty. I'm not sure the UI toolkit used.

                              Refractor editor for BF2 is meh though, and hard to use. Goes the same with Age of Empires IV Essence editor, looks meh. I think both are built on Windows UI tool.

                              Source's Hammer.. I like Source 2 Hammer but since it cannot be used on Linux I've yet to try it. Hammer for source 1 and goldsrc is okay, and hard to use.

                              Finally, Unity is what I've used more generally. But I really never dig up what the editor is made of somehow 🤣 I assume it's their own UI like Unreal & Godot. But I have no further clue to say.

                              I like UIs because they look amazing. especially game editors because it looks complex. I guess it's like people who like seeing trains. I do like trains as well but I never go out birdwatching a train.

                              I also like UI styles like Aero or Liquid Glass. Although I may have bias towards Aero due to nostalgia effect.

                              There's other game engine that have its editor made to look like MS Office UI with ribbons lol. It was NeoAxis engine and I think Stride/Xenko used to look like MS Office too. It looks unique.

                              Blender also have interesting history with its UI. Few overhaul in 2.5 and 2.8. but the latest Blender have the best UI. Sometimes I feel nostalgic with 2.79 because that's what I started with.

                              Lastly here's my fav editor UI (visually) in order. may not be 100% accurate to my actual feeling. feeling is super subjective amd can quickly change

                              on a second peek, Overwatch editor looks more like MFC than imgui. my bad

                              This is CryEngine 3.6.8 Sandbox running on my campus's PC.

                              if you are making a game engine with custom editor & putting effort into making your editor look cool, there's someone like me who would enjoy that.

                                Jokes aside, I am positive a Game of Thrones or Vikings-like tv show based on the birth of the Mexicas, then the expansion with finally the fall of the Aztecs would be brutally fantastic.

                                It's a cartoon but there's Onyx Equinox which is pretty cool and plays in mesoamerica.

                                Onyx Equinox mentioned!! One of my favorite shows for that reason. I wish more media used Mesoamerican history and myths, they are awesome.

                                Just wish it wasn't in development hell...

                                  shaving as a trans women (both facial and body)

                                  Phillips Oneblade $50

                                  intended for men with a beard, waterproof and lithium battery.

                                  honestly a letdown in literally every way for me. Not a close shave at all and other electric ones do way better in that regard. Also not a lot of area for legs and doesn't even give the smooth leg feeling 😠
                                  Upside that there's not really any chance for ingrown hairs, which means it's pretty good for the pubic area. I don't shave down there often though.
                                  (obligatory I am NOT the intended target for this product)

                                  face: 5/10
                                  body: 1/10
                                  pubic: 9/10

                                  ladyshave $18

                                  this is intended for women's leg hair. Not waterproof and takes 2 AA batteries.

                                  pretty good actually. It's wide and gets close enough for me. As advertised. I use on legs before IPL.

                                  face: 3/10 (works in a pinch)
                                  body: 7/10
                                  pubic: 6/10

                                  men's razors $?

                                  I actually have a permanent scar on my thumb from when I was about 7 and messed with my dads in the shower lol

                                  when I hit puberty I just used my dads old one with new heads, his 'guidance' was pretty unhelpful for me because I thought they were for legs too and got a bunch of red dots / nicks because of it especially because I was really shy about shaving and was too scared to ask for shaving cream. works well enough for what it's intended for, though it's annoying to setup and use. Use a women's for body if you can.

                                  face: 7/10 (with cream)
                                  body: 3/10 (w/o cream)
                                  pubic: 0/10 (w/o cream)

                                  Women's razor $?

                                  I don't love wet shaving but this is pretty good!
                                  also, ALWAYS get the Gillette Venus ones. I've tried other ones and they're not as good and I always go back despite being more expensive.
                                  gets clogged easy though.

                                  facial: why/10
                                  body: 9/10
                                  pubic: 7/10 (will get clogged)

                                  women's whatever the fuck

                                  I left the handle part at home but for body this is the BEST, but is pretty clunky and expensive. reallly smooth and is amazing. however I wish the handle part wasn't just a big knub because it's difficult to do under the knee and behind the back

                                  facial: no/10
                                  body: 10/10 🥰
                                  pubic: 3/10

                                  flat edge razor $5

                                  I got it on a DAMN cheap sale on Amazon, assume it's like 15. It said it was a "small business" from the US but I really doubt that due to the marketing and and assume it's just something from China.
                                  Anyways, it works really well, too well. Even if you're really careful you'll feel a random stinging somewhere and look down and see blood. I feel like there's a skill floor I just have to learn but I have better alternatives. REALLY cheap blades though, like 15-50 cents.

                                  I also threw it away because I would use the blades to selfharm (7 months clean except for an accident 🎉).

                                  facial: x/10 (too risky for me)
                                  body: 7/10
                                  pubic: 2/10 (wayy too risky, don't try)

                                  Braun 3 epilator $40

                                  I lost it :<

                                  this is a biblically accurate tweezer as my sister called it. She was too wimpy to use it and gave it to me. Lemme just say it HURTS the first time. Like on the floor crying hurts. Second time too. After a couple rounds it gets way better. However this one particularly doesn't ways pull out the hairs and can if you push down too hard you'll stop it which can be really annoying when you one hair that just won't get out. It will also
                                  also sometimes you'll find ingrown hairs that you can't get because it's underneath the skin so I'll get a craft razor blade and ever so slightly hook it and go in with tweezers to pull it out. This is where the self harm accident earlier came from lol

                                  but in return 3 WEEKS OF NO HAIR!!

                                  exfoliate before, then use, then rinse with cold water and use unscented moisturizer, next day use TendSkin.
                                  if you don't follow this to a T you'll get hella ingrown hairs.

                                  face: no
                                  body: 9/10
                                  pubic: ok story time. one of my afab epilated their pubic area before having sex with their s/o and oh my God they regretted it SO bad. it hurt a TON. I imagine if you're into pain it'll work I guess??

                                  braun 5 IPL $300

                                  got this for Christmas and was essentially my only product. You use it after shaving (not epilation) I haven't been consistently using it because epilate mostly. Can't give a good review.

                                  Braun Epilator (iirc v7 or v8?) $80

                                  still in mail 🥲

                                  for me it's the GOAT of facial hair. Used it for years and absolutely love it. It just works. My use case for facial hair is pretty odd because I just have long sideburns that go down to the jawbone and some random ones under my chin. For my pretty uncommon use case it is AMAZING. Can't really recommend it for others but if you just have long sideburns get this 100%

                                  in conclusion

                                  I epilate and as it's growing in I use the chunky one for now the back to the Gillette Venus once my heads are gone.
                                  If I'm IPL-ing I either use a Gillette Venus or ladyshave.

                                  if anyone else has done this with skincare products let me know, I have some questions 🙂

                                    I just love studying how culture cross pollination leads to art movement's throughout history ie. how Japanese prints are largely responsible for the Impressionist and Post impressionist movements in Europe or how the Mughal Emperors of India had Paintings of a Greek God on the ceiling, in the Palace of Muslim rulers.

                                    I'm curious about Japanese prints! Tell me more. I didn't know they influenced impressionism. Woodblock prints are really cool.

                                    Also didn't know that about the Mughals, wild.

                                      Radio transmitting.
                                      Its a quite large rabbit hole.
                                      Right now i upload some data of ships i receive with a small setup and earn a test crypto currency.

                                      But you can do loads and loads of things, rtl-sdr.com is a nice cheap start.

                                      Oh and locally running AI models. (Via GPT4All) Insane how far we are.

                                      Locally running AI models is interesting to me - do you have any recommended links or tutorials where to start?

                                      (I looked into radio transmitting a couple month ago but it was way too overwhelming and I settled for a different hobby lol)

                                          game editor UI or maybe generally UI design as well.

                                          once I learned about dear imgui I realize and could easily spot so many engines and desktop app built with dear imgui.

                                          I think I've also seen a game engine, clearly built with dear imgui, but styled to look like Visual Studio.

                                          There's someone written custom stylesheet for the CryEngine Sandbox editor to also make it look like Visual Studio. Speaking of which CryEngine used to be built with Windows MFC UI until CryEngine 5.

                                          Then they switched to Qt, I assume the LGPL version because then maybe one of the reason they sort of "open-source" the engine (not really) probably because they attempted to comply with LGPL? but idk. But since version 5.6 the source code isn't updated anymore.

                                          Although Lumberyard was a fork of CryEngine 3.x.x (uses MFC), Lumberyard eventually switched to Qt and so today, O3DE is also in Qt.

                                          O3DE on linux nowadays is pretty stable, but I've only used it for rendering, not scripting games. admittedly I haven't had time to geek out on O3DE's UI

                                          Godot editor is built on its own UI tooling. Probably not edited on the editor, I assume the UI tool can be worked via code. There's so many desktop app that also built using Godot, like Material Maker, and few 2D pixel art tool I forget its name.

                                          Like Godot, Unreal Editor is built on Slate, their UI framework. The engine has 2 UI tools. Slate and UMG. For in-game UI, UMG is probably easier since it can be built in the editor and Blueprint. Slate UIs is built via C++, but is also used for complex game UI such as inventory. etc.

                                          I also used Unreal Engine 3 via UDK and the editor is cool too.

                                          I used to really like & follow Battlefield in BF1 era. The Frostbite Editor looks really amazing. I really want to touch the editor but o well there's no way to try a proprietary engine. DICE used to show off Frostbite a lot from 2009 to 2017 and showing Battlefield runing in the editor. I don't really see much newer Frostbite videos/screnshots.

                                          Frostbite-era Battlefield does have a few modding tools and they tried to mimic the Frostbite Editor look. It looks pretty. I'm not sure the UI toolkit used.

                                          Refractor editor for BF2 is meh though, and hard to use. Goes the same with Age of Empires IV Essence editor, looks meh. I think both are built on Windows UI tool.

                                          Source's Hammer.. I like Source 2 Hammer but since it cannot be used on Linux I've yet to try it. Hammer for source 1 and goldsrc is okay, and hard to use.

                                          Finally, Unity is what I've used more generally. But I really never dig up what the editor is made of somehow 🤣 I assume it's their own UI like Unreal & Godot. But I have no further clue to say.

                                          I like UIs because they look amazing. especially game editors because it looks complex. I guess it's like people who like seeing trains. I do like trains as well but I never go out birdwatching a train.

                                          I also like UI styles like Aero or Liquid Glass. Although I may have bias towards Aero due to nostalgia effect.

                                          There's other game engine that have its editor made to look like MS Office UI with ribbons lol. It was NeoAxis engine and I think Stride/Xenko used to look like MS Office too. It looks unique.

                                          Blender also have interesting history with its UI. Few overhaul in 2.5 and 2.8. but the latest Blender have the best UI. Sometimes I feel nostalgic with 2.79 because that's what I started with.

                                          Lastly here's my fav editor UI (visually) in order. may not be 100% accurate to my actual feeling. feeling is super subjective amd can quickly change

                                          I made a little desktop app in Godot once for sorting through D&D monsters, can't really release it tho because it requires you to have the whole official monster manual saved as jpegs for it to work

                                          I was able to get the layout pretty nice, but it still kinda breaks with some resolutions because I didn't write any custom layout code
