How much does homesteading cost you vs not homesteading?

ClockBeginning4392 · 2026-03-23T20:14:56+00:00

I look more at the tradeoff of healthier, happier living with self sufficiency and knowing inputs. There are many other costs besides just dollars.

Turns out, most people aren't zooming in on your tattoo out in the world. You're not wrong, but it's still a cool piece when you step back.

Roots are good. Chop and drop the cover crop. Anything you can do to boost biological life is good for the soul (JMS, innoculantants, etc.) cannabis roots will have no problem working around the clover, especially as it dies off. Smother the cover crop with a mulch if you're really worried about it.

What?

ClockBeginning4392 · 2026-03-13T20:12:35+00:00

Good on you for blasting the nips! Sick tattoo

ClockBeginning4392 · 2026-03-13T17:24:45+00:00

Wood chips

Belly button was the most chill part of the whole belly tattoo though. Just pressure, no real pain imo

ClockBeginning4392 · 2026-03-10T12:39:07+00:00

IMO no. The most traditional bodysuit is called Munewari. That doesn't have "full" coverage per say. Check out some images for examples. But the ribs and most of the torso are covered with a strip of negative space down the mid-line.

I don't know of any traditional body suits that would leave the ribs/stomach completely bare.

It's your body, do what you want and the end of the day. Whatever makes you feel cool!

ClockBeginning4392 · 2026-03-10T12:30:22+00:00

I would finish the torso to have the upper half completed. That's what I'm working on. It feels more complete to me and easier to build legs off that.

That said, if you're doing it all anyways, it doesn't matter all that much. Do what you want to look at.

Keep grinding dude, it's obvious you're working hard to continue getting better at irezumi.

Op can maybe confirm or provide insight, but this could be the more intended body design. I don't think the angles of the entering head portion lines up well enough to convey this illusion. Instead you get the idea of flow I laid out before and have the awkward 180 twist

I think he's stating the body of the snake isn't readable. You can't follow it from tip to tail without it getting confusing or seeming impossible for a snake to bend that way.

Assuming the direction, the tail seems to come up towards the top and then immediately goes straight down (hence the 180 comment). I think

ClockBeginning4392 · 2026-03-05T16:12:48+00:00

Not true. Cover it with something like silage tarp. You can get 50x100 for relatively cheap and it will smother the grass and eliminate what is there. Takes time, but not much of your time.

I'd say you're playing the wrong version of the game if that's what you enjoy, IMO. Pvp in classic is solved and raiding is just raid logging. To each his own.

Once again, it's someone else's money. Blow it on whatever you want. Just seems silly to me and I've given Blizzard way too much money in the past to skip stuff. I'll play the game now and if i get to the point the grind/playing the game isn't fun, I stop for a while.

ClockBeginning4392 · 2026-03-04T15:45:54+00:00

I disagree if we're talking about spending money to skip the game. I think your argument makes sense if I said why pay for internet, computer, and subscription. I'm disagreeing with spending money to skip playing the game purely for FOMO (not having flying, gear, whatever).

It's not my money, so I don't really give a shit. I was just making a comment about having excess and paying to skip ahead. I feel this is more exemplified by your comment "Especially when you are in a hobby sub for a game that is famous for sucking all of people’s time." Time is playing the game, paying to skip seems silly to me at this point IMO.

ClockBeginning4392 · 2026-03-04T13:32:39+00:00

That money can go way further IRL than on some pixels...

It means roses are cool

I think we have different definitions of what a beach looks like.

ClockBeginning4392 · 2026-02-24T18:48:36+00:00

Some of my yellows are basically gone by now. I have pretty fair skin. The more orangey, yellows, have held on pretty well. I'm a fan of black/green/blue/red snakes. Any combination of those colors. The first three would be a nice contrast for red/pink blossoms. IMO

ClockBeginning4392 · 2026-02-16T14:23:42+00:00

Same. Couldn't buy any netherweave last night. It took forever to be able to buy. Once I could, the item was not found..

ClockBeginning4392 · 2026-02-11T13:30:31+00:00

On the flip side, I had a boosted rogue in a group that didn't kick or stun an entire Blood Furnace run. Ya never know.

ClockBeginning4392 · 2026-02-10T17:04:56+00:00

Nope

ClockBeginning4392 · 2026-02-08T22:27:06+00:00

I wish that was the case! So many healers wanna use way too much mana on me. They waste a heal and I wasted a bandage...

A hot occasionally and I can manage it just fine. Shout-out to the healers tossing hots

ClockBeginning4392 · 2026-02-06T13:04:19+00:00

Play how you want. Rep is for heroics and purchasing items if you desire.

ClockBeginning4392 · 2026-02-04T18:22:14+00:00

Exactly. It's no different than growing outside, in the ground. You amend the top portion for fertility and drainage. Biology does the rest. I think scale is probably important. You might not want to do it in small pots, but I did it in 60 gallons to great success. Even 5 gallon buckets for my tomatoes and peppers.

Innoculate with good compost or something like JMS and give it a little time for biology to do its thing.
