  • Some friends of mine in new Zealand had their own company growing and selling lily’s and other plants. Became a huge thing, bought a huge house. A decade ago they sold their entire company and went to picking strawberries. They just pick strawberries all day every day, and they love it. I was pretty jealous. So maybe you could stay in your field but just a completely different position. You’ll already have connections and experience.



  • Ah ja het eeuwige problemshooten, altijd irritant dat er zo veel tijd over een iteratie kan gaan voordat je weet of het fout gaat of goed gaat. Iedere vijf minuten kanalen is natuurlijk ook niet handig.

    Ik print dnd mini’s, echt van alles, vorige batch was een githyanki monk, een human cleric en nog wat andere dingen, maar laatst ook een mooie grote spelljammer gemaakt, soort van fantasy starship. Maar soms ook functional prints, zoals roosters voor een cpu fan. Jij dan?

    Ik vind mini’s schilderen zelf echt veel werk en kan er flink tegenop kijken, maar als het dan mooi geschilderd is ben ik er wel altijd heel blij mee.








  • Just to add on this, I’ve had some very bad experiences with second hand bread makers. Many people use it a ton in the first year and then let it gather dust somewhere. The problem is that usually there is a rubber drive belt somewhere within, which might become brittle from the change from being moist to super dry. I’ve disassembled some, and this was a problem twice, completely disintegrated drive belt. Just fyi.










  • But it’s not about hopelessness. It’s about coming to terms with having lived a full life and being fully ready for a dignified end of it. My girlfriend works in a Dutch nursing home and has had the privilege of assisting a couple of euthanasia tracts for the elderly, and she says it’s one of the most magnificent things she was able to do for someone, emotionally speaking. People are very clear about the reasons (which have to be not only discussed, but thoroughly vetted by 2 doctors) and do not make this decision lightly. These is a very high level of clear communication between the family, doctors and patients about all relevant aspects for everyone involved.

    I think when you and I reach that age, we will have very different thoughts on life and death.
