Cool Hobbies/Interests/Whatever

Cute??

Those things were the bomb back in our childhood. Mini-arcades and real metal transformers.

My restored, refurbished $50 NES is collecting dust in the corner again. I got one of those 3-in-1 systems, and can play everything now.

I should find an old NES box, and glue it shut for 'collectors'.

We’ll see who’s laughing in 2030 when Zuckerberg JR. III is dropping a cool G on my $100 Walmart investment.

Humidor seasoned, stocked, ready to roll!


Took some sanding on the interior cedar to remove dark stains, re-seasoning with distilled water, and replacing three humidifiers, but still saved about $50 by picking it up used on eBay and doing the minor restorations.

Your wife is cool with that in the house?

It locks so the kids can’t get to it, and she enjoys a good stogie as much as I do, so it’s no problem.

Plus we don’t smoke in the house. We may go out on the back deck on the weekend and smoke one but that’s about it. It’s sort of my no-beer consolation reward while I’m on Keto. I like to manage my vices according to lifestyle, so when out of Keto I don’t smoke, and when in Keto I don’t drink.

Probably weird, but makes transitioning between lifestyle patterns easier.

You have to choose your battles. For me it's diet sodas. Man, those are bad for you, though.

I used to constantly keep a 2 liter of Diet Coke next to my desk while doing computer science coursework - sometimes I’d knock down a couple a night. I was amazed how much weight I dropped when I went cold turkey off of them (and fast food. Dropped both about 15 years ago).

So it has been a while, but I remember how much I used to dig on diet soda. Mountain Dew too - all the D&D players and MTG players in college used to down it like water. Good times.
Rough on the waistline tho.

I am still on my way down to six pack abs, so I don't think they affect me like that. They are just fucking poison on your liver and they destroy most of your gut bacteria.

Honestly, dying from a heart defect sounds way better than Coke Zero cancer.

NOTHING WRONG with diet sodas.
