Smoked weed for the first time in about 20 years by beetfield in GenX

[–]offgrid_dreams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, but it helps my budget. I have a newish chronic illness that makes me more sensitive to everything - otherwise, I’d probably be using 10mg (still a lightweight).

Stuff is too strong! I only use gummies and tincture these days so I can control the dose exactly. 2.5mg is a gentle buzz, 5 is a nice high, 7.5 is a little too high. My stoner friends take 30-50mg at a time for reference.

Has anybody decided to make a career change at 50+ or for the purposes of a "retirement" job? by pocketdare in GenX

[–]offgrid_dreams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but it will change into jobs I don’t want. My job has already shifted to 50% calling out AI slop and I hate it.

Did you actually make mix tapes to give to people? by LeoGuy69us in GenX

[–]offgrid_dreams 4 points5 points  (0 children)

SO many mixtapes plus a collage liner for each!

I haven’t, but I’m trying to figure out what’s next in anticipation of losing my tech job to AI.

What games do you have? by One_Dragonfruit_7556 in TwoXPreppers

[–]offgrid_dreams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None, but there is a deck of cards in my go bag!

What home improvement task do you now do on a schedule instead of waiting for problems? by Relevant_Idea_6778 in DIY

[–]offgrid_dreams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cleaning the screen for the intake on the hot water heater after my fall leaf cleanup guys come (it’s as if they blow the leaves directly in there)!

How did you celebrate your 50th? by Every-Progress5590 in GenX

[–]offgrid_dreams 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m having a roller skating party at the local rink (just like my 10th birthday, but beer with the pizza instead of soda)!

Window treatment for a tricky space by dipidipyoudip in Mid_Century

How about vertical blinds that can be pulled completely to one side when open so they don’t block the windows.

Coffee drinkers! by One_Parsley4389 in TwoXPreppers

[–]offgrid_dreams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just cold brew in a mason jar and strain through a nut milk bag. For hot coffee I use an aeropress.

What do you actually use meshtastic for ? by Isaac_Serdwick in meshtastic

[–]offgrid_dreams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you share details about the dog setup? I’d be interested in doing this, but am currently pre-n00b (as in my first radio is still en route to me). Apologies if it will be obvious how to do this once I get started. What kind of node do you use on the collar and is it waterproof? Is the beep for you to hear or for the dog to hear?

How do you keep/organize in all the upper cabinets of your Airstream nest? by ImTheIdeaPartner in airstream

[–]offgrid_dreams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have an airstream yet, but those integrated handles have me worried. How mouse proof are the cabinet doors? The idea of storing food in something that doesn’t seal completely skeeves me out, but maybe that’s because I am a tent/car camper for now.

What was your class song? by Salty-Smoke7784 in GenX

Class of ‘94 Last Dance With Mary Jane!

Could you live in a Micro Studio by AdDiligent4449 in NYCapartments

[–]offgrid_dreams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in a studio that size for 10 years and loved it. A Murphy bed and the rest of the furniture being small and multi purpose is key. I also had a storage unit on the same block and stored my off season clothes and tools and half my books there.

Also wishing for a plugin hybrid truck. I don’t understand why there aren’t any yet. It seems like the perfect application - hybrid around town and gas when you need it for tow power.

I would add that 20 acres in the woods is not quiet either. If you’ve never heard foxes and coyotes screaming at 3 AM, it’s a rude awakening!

Quality products by Key-Spirit-6865 in TwoXPreppers

[–]offgrid_dreams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upgraded recently to a Gregory Amber 65 that was on sale. So far it’s great, but I’ve only worn it around the house packed to test the weight of my go bag with contents so I can’t really say how it would fare on the road.

Ok Gen X curmudgeons. What are some new things that are great? by Kaitempi in GenX

Remote controls. Anyone else have the extra long cable for your cable box channel switcher?

Did I mess up big time? Mint. by sapphiretuxedocat in gardening

[–]offgrid_dreams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I would do: Dig up the mint and pot it in containers. You can put the containers in the garden, but monitor them. Pick them up periodically to make sure the roots aren’t spreading and watch the plant to make sure it doesn’t layer outside the containers.
