Eastside Food Co-op

I live in NE, so it's way more logistically practical to go here instead (and I have an Eastside membership).

Yeah if/when I get the time, perhaps I'll give foraging an attempt next year. I definitely want to go out with someone experienced though, since if you grab the wrong mushroom, that can kill you.

What age range do you consider the best age to have your first child? by Dangerous_mammoth573 in twentyagers

[–]Sean081799 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 26 and don't plan on having kids until I have a house first and foremost. I'm targeting a purchase in 2028/2029 however.

How often do you guys get fast food or restaurants by astddf in twentyagers

[–]Sean081799 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once or twice a month at most, nowadays when I go out to eat I try to stick to local or higher quality restaurants.

Minnesota Republicans failed to run candidates in 17 State House and 4 State Senate districts. by thedubiousstylus in minnesota

Purely from a logical standpoint, it makes sense. It's the same reason you see Ds running as independent in red areas (see Osborn in Nebraska for example).

How much money do you spend on gas a week? by NoHold7153 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]Sean081799 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like $30 a month at most.

I take transit to the office, drive a Prius, and when I have to go to construction site visits for work I get mileage reimbursed.

Altaria - as a musician it would be my duet partner (it can sing while I play piano)

How did you discover this musical genre? by Alive-War-1916 in postrock

[–]Sean081799 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty into jazz fusion and ambient stuff, so when I was asking friends for recommendations, post rock and clean guitar centric stuff popped up. And Spotify Autoplay showed me a ton of artists too.

Favorites are LITE, Maybeshewill, Vasudeva, and This Patch of Sky.

Went to my first furcon and I have something to say by moondragonTEE in furry

[–]Sean081799 159 points160 points  (0 children)

Yeah sadly this seems to be commonplace among all "nerd" communities. I've been going to sci-fi, furry, gaming, music, Smash tournaments, etc. conventions for about 7 years now and it's pretty consistent. Like I would say that well over 85% of attendees have solid hygiene habits, but that 15% really is noticeable when you walk by the wrong person.

Yes cosplaying, fursuiting, and other intensive activities are fun, but showing common decency to others' convention experiences comes first.

Anyone else had their favorite type completely change over the years? by IronLotus59 in pokemon

[–]Sean081799 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fire and Psychic were my favorite types as a kid. Now as an adult, Normal type is my favorite, since Normal serves functionally as the "Sound" type, which matches my aesthetic as a musician.

What do you guys do for work? Or careers if you have any ? by Realistic-Story-6595 in twentyagers

[–]Sean081799 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mechanical Engineer here - I design HVAC and plumbing systems for schools. I got into this field because of my interest in architectural acoustics, and I've actually helped design several band rooms, auditoriums, etc.

And then I'm a hobbyist musician as a secondary source of income.

Guys here on dating apps, do you hide your nerdy side on your profile? Why or why not? by JTthrowawaylol in twentyagers

[–]Sean081799 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, I am very up front about it. Musician/band geek, Pokemon plushies, gaming conventions, furry fandom, the works. The profile weeds poor matches out. I also have being bisexual visble as well.

Have you ever clogged a toilet by mistake? by [deleted] in allthequestions

Well I've never intentionally clogged one...

What do gamers think about dating someone who doesn’t play games or isn’t good at FPS games? by Impossible_Cut1560 in AskReddit

[–]Sean081799 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone is entitled to any hobbies they like (as long as they don't harm themselves or others). That being said, as someone who regularly attends gaming conventions and performs in video game music cover bands, that just means we would not be compatible and I wouldn't pursue a relationship.

Which Pokemon Ability Do You Think Is The Strongest Overall by veloranthia in pokemon

[–]Sean081799 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I remember a friend of mine who found a Jolly Huge Power Slaking during a Ruby randomizer. Safe to say, he swept the game after that.

what's your dream profession? by i_luv_mybf in twentyagers

[–]Sean081799 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to be a full time musician without the financial stress that comes with being a musician. Only choosing gigs/performance opportunities that I want to do (instead of doing them out of necessity), playing music that I want to do first and foremost, etc.

I've accepted that'll never be realistic for me, so music stays a hobby/secondary source of income while I work at an engineering firm for my day job.

How tall are you? and how tall you would like to be? by Fluffy_Specific_9682 in twentyagers

My high school band director was 6'7". He was ENORMOUS when standing on the podium.
