What are you using for the posts? 2x4 or 4x4?
I saw it was from scraps mostly, but how much would you estimate this to cost vs a store bought tree?

There’s probably a ton of decisions that I could change, but one of them would be not to join the military and to go to college instead for meteorology. I don’t know where I would be now, maybe in debt and stuck, or maybe really enjoying a career in a field I love. Regardless, it would be interesting.
Otherwise, to not accept the proposal from my then boyfriend. Had we broken up, I feel like I would have figured out my sexuality earlier and potentially been happier. But instead, I’m facing down a divorce and restarting my life all over.
It’s where I go to waste time. Sometimes I learn something new, sometimes I have an existential crisis from an interactive plaything, sometimes I build sandcastles and burn them down.
That’s what I came here to say as well. It’s so well done and it hits in such a profound way.
Have you read any of the short stories on the game’s website? I highly recommend it. Catherine’s is so sad and it really gives a ton of insight into what she went through.
What is it about the Long Dark that’s stuck with you?

Sweet potato fries. Or overly orange fries for any reason (sometimes the frying just seems to make them orange, especially curly fries?).
Was youngish, friend took me out to lunch and I had a meatball sub with sweet potato fries. Yum yum. Until, of course, 3am the next morning when all that came up and was orange and potato-y. I refuse to try them again to this day. Although I love sweet potatoes, lol, just not sp fries.
I read somewhere that it’s because human eyes focus on something that is the size of your thumbnail at an arm’s length, so pretty small, and that distorts things a little bit so that what we’re focusing on appears larger. Whereas cameras take in the entire field of view as their focus (at least phone cameras, lenses are a whole other ballgame), and all of that data being poured in at once means the distortion isn’t there.
But that could be complete bull. I just read it somewhere on the Internet and it made sense lol.
Not too much of a rabbit hole, but it’s fun to waste some time on some small thing here and there. I find a lot of fun or weird stuff there and I love it.
The deadlights in Stephen King’s IT. ::: spoiler The scene where the turtle is dead hits me right in the existential dread. spoiler :::
SOMA. There were sections in the game that were scary, but the entire concept is really a mind melt. It’s not like it’s not a common theoretical question, but going through it step by step is another thing. And if you go to the home page of it and read some of the short stories, it really adds to the whole experience.
I’m not sure about “expensive”, but it was priceless.
My mom had a really gorgeous piece of petrified wood about the size of a cup coaster and as a young kid I was obsessed with it. So one day I broke into her jewelry box where she kept it and stole it to bring to school for show and tell. Everything was fine until I was getting on the bus to go home and I tripped with it in my hand. It shattered like glass and so did my poor little heart.
I remember crying all the way home where I tearfully confessed to my thievery and apologized up and down to my mom. She honestly wasn’t very angry, and was a lot more understanding than I thought she might be. I don’t remember what happened to the wood afterwards but I don’t remember seeing it ever again so I wonder if she trashed it? It was so beautiful, so that would be a total shame.
do you have to look away when concentrating on something?
What are you alluding to with this one? I do this so much and get weird looks from it, but I didn’t realize it was a ‘thing’.
It gets very repetitive, but if you’re solely using it as a means to an end for schooling, then it’s manageable.
And even a full time 8x5 or 4x10 truly only takes maybe 2-4 hours to get things done, so then you have the rest of the time to study.
My career is in a sort of glorified data entry (GIS for a utility company), and it’s super relaxed most of the time.
Data entry is always a good field for this. Work from home (mostly), can figure it out easily, pays decently.
I moved from Utah to Washington State and while I do definitely miss the snow, I don’t miss the cold.
What I find I miss the most is the sun. Seasonal depression is an utter bitch and I become a total homebody if there’s no sun to bring me out of my den.
I’ve been doing French onion soup mix with light sour cream and sliced cucumbers instead of chips. It saves me a bunch of calories but is still a super snack. But onion dip is one of my favorite foods ever. I’ll eat that shit with a spoon.
Holy! Man, I live rural, but that’s a whole other type of rural. Good luck out in the woods, friend o7
The grill(?) with this perspective was confusing the hell out of me. Looks like Kitty is about to cook up a little something.
A third party app that’s still working for me for Reddit is called Stealth.
Maybe it’s just my personal era, but MSN/Messenger was used solely in the group I grew up around. With maybe an addition of trillium eventually
