    But the good news is you just kinda learn quite a bit about every hobby you pick up, so people are always impressed with how much random stuff you know.

    I discovered a great way to reduce the financial burden: join a Makerspace.

    Since joining a local one, I now know:

    • How to use a CNC laser cutter
    • How to use a thickness planer
    • How to use a MIG welder (poorly)
    • And, as of today, how to use a TIG welder (also poorly but, I did better than with the MIG)

    Still to come:

    • How to use a terrifyingly powerful, 2.5 ton milling machine
    • How to use a similar size lathe
    • How to use a plasma cutter
    • How to use a fiber laser
    • How to use a vintage oscilloscope

    And a ton more. Seriously, its awesome.

      If you get bananas and frozen blueberries, you can use that as a base for any kind of smoothie, really. Unless you just don’t feel like smoothies, which, valid.

        Oh don’t worry. I also have a bag of frozen berries in my freezer that are also 12 months old.
