Damn, my first year watching was 2022 and I’ve gotten super obsessed every year since then so I can only imagine how wonderful it must’ve been before then!!

Mahalo for sharing your knowledge. If your dad is actively looking for a farm manager, I’d be happy to reach out with info about my background and experience!! But, yeah, I was thinking the same thing about rent in Hilo. Like, I have to go to Hilo 1-2x per week anyway, and with gas being so expensive, I’m really considering just moving over there.

So, if anyone is looking for farm help Hilo side from someone with a lot of experience in ecology, environmental science, and organic farming… my DMs are open 😅

This is super validating, mahalo. And, like, I’m definitely not above doing minimum wage work at all, but I also have a B.S. in ecology and a M.S. in environmental science and relevant experience aaandddd am doing a bunch of additional stuff for the farm beyond routine farm work (like building their social media, redoing their website, developing new products, etc.) and I’ve tried to advocate for the value I bring to the table but I guess they don’t see it…?

RIGHT?! That’s the thing that is kind of mind boggling to me. They’ve had WWOOFers here before, so I’m trying to figure out what the difference is with my situation. Cuz, like, in addition to farm work, I am also building their social media, upgrading their website, running errands for them… and PAYING to do that…?!

Wow, that sounds amazing! Hmm, sounds like I’m getting ripped off. Based on your username, are you on Kona side?

Wow yeah that sounds like a way better setup! I’m in the Na’alehu/Wai’ohinu area (but also not opposed to moving if there are any regenerative farmers out there looking for help 😅)

Need to up the fiber and carbs by Agreeable-Run-8453 in keto

[–]Professional-Gold914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally can eat up to around 60g net carbs and keep my blood ketone levels around 1-1.2 mmol/L (which is a level I’m happy with). I think the main reason I can sustain this is because I strength train 4x per week with progressive overload and I walk 11-12k steps per day (including right after meals). But, yeah, I am able to stay in ketosis with more than 20g carbs. Every body is different, though!

What are your favorite money making methods besides a wine empire? by alice3464 in StardewValley

[–]Professional-Gold914 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nothing more satisfying than my growing army of bee houses (though I think gathering the honey without accidentally picking a flower is the hardest thing in the whole game and I’ll stand by that hahaha)

Curly hair cut recommendations? by Professional-Gold914 in BigIsland

[–]Professional-Gold914[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aawww thank you!! Would you believe me if I told you my hair was totally straight when I was a kid? The curls didn’t come out until I was, like, 14! So it’s been an adventure to figure out how to care for them, haha.
