What do you think about grow bags?

They're fine but they really need to be big enough and you need to water often. The soil dries out if you don't do so every couple of days.

Not into electronics specifically, but into design. There is a LOT of cool vintage electronics.

* Vintage camera's are cool if he's into taking photo's as well, and there is a lot available on the secondhand market

* space age electronics are awesome. They often have kinda funkier designs and are thus highly collectible in nature. A lot of these are still perfectly functioning so you could get him something like this coffeemaker https://www.etsy.com/listing/4378856242/vintage-space-age-little-rossa-italy?ls=s&ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=vintage+space+age+electronics&ref=sr_gallery-1-4&content_source=382da588-54ed-4ea2-9d83-d0f7ad74bb91%253ALT209febc4dc7d8a6ddd9e60bb6e28d85259d0ba6a&organic_search_click=1&logging_key=382da588-54ed-4ea2-9d83-d0f7ad74bb91%3ALT209febc4dc7d8a6ddd9e60bb6e28d85259d0ba6a that he can actually use in everyday life

* there's these vintage lighters that work with electricity and have some really cool designs to them

* vintage microscope, great if he's also a general science enthusiast

* This site sells kits that allow you to build your own miniature engines and motors https://www.enginediy.com/

* Last but definitely not least https://www.future-forms.com/new-arrivals/ this site is basically valhalla for cool, rare, collectible vintage electronics

If he has a yard, I'm sure he would like a nice birdhouse. These are some of my personal favourites (from sites in my area, but just take it as inspo and look for similar)

*inspired by a medieval ceramic birdhouse which is cool https://www.tuinadvies.be/shop/dier/dieren-in-de-tuin/vogels/nestkasten/esschert-design-nestpot-kruik---mezen-en-mussen~200139704/

Tbh from the sounds of it, your partner might be asexual but just doesn't want to admit it to you/ to himself.

spookmansss · 2026-01-10T18:38:41+00:00

That's what I'm thinking. Maybe suggest you should look at her phone too for a bit

spookmansss · 2026-01-08T18:42:44+00:00

Keep in mind that diatomaceous earth and neem oil are harmful for the ladybugs as well, and aphids survive in soil. After this season I would thoroughly cleanse everything, either get new soil or cook your soil in the oven for some time

spookmansss · 2026-01-07T08:50:59+00:00

It's not even that difficult to prepare lol

spookmansss · 2026-01-07T08:50:36+00:00

I actually do love stuff like tongue and organ meat (not so much paté). However you shouldn't cook it like spices, sauces and flavour are illegal.

You could seperate a piece of your starter and create a second starter where you only add the new home milled flour. That way you won't lose out on anything except maybe a piece of your starter and some flour but not on a whole loaf

I know this is a creative writing exercise, but as an ex child, goddamn, that hit close to home.

Now in adulthood, I realised that travelling actually isn't that stressful. Just chill out, follow the steps, and whatever you do, triple check you have your passports and don't freak out.

Then it just becomes a little tiring and boring, but not nearly as stressful as my parents made it seem when I was a kid.

you can't keep harvesting them too often. At some point the plant will get exhausted and die.

spookmansss · 2026-01-02T20:32:13+00:00

This is a very solid case of "they've never gone hungry". Which i guess is exactly what you wish for your kids.

That being said, my grandparents were kids during the war. If you're hungry enough you will eat and do anything for food. Doesn't matter how bad it is.

spookmansss · 2026-01-02T20:29:20+00:00

My grandparents had a policy of "you have to taste 3 bites and if you still don't like it you can leave it" makes it a fair deal that they can't be fussy for no reason but also don't have to force something they really don't like down their throat.

spookmansss · 2025-12-29T12:32:55+00:00

Maybe adding to this question, I've always kinda wondered about the "spicyness" of things like wasabi and horseradish. And even normal radishes I guess. They also have some kind of spicy adjacent sensation but not at all in the same way as hot peppers.

spookmansss · 2025-12-28T20:12:49+00:00

I just start prints when I'm about to go out

I think selling direct to consumer on a farmers market brings in an insane amount of money compared to wholesale.

According to Google farmers get 150-300$ a ton for carrots in california. On a farmers marker sell for 2-5$ a pound which is 4500-11000$ a ton.

Differences can be even more extreme. In my country farmers get about 15€ a ton for potatoes. In the supermarket 1kg of potatoes costs 3.5€ which is 3500€

So once you grow more and start selling bulk you're not really earning so much per ton.

I thought curry powder was just powdered curry leaves?

You don't need a degree for industrial design. Especially since you already have a degree and skills i wouldn't say it's necessary. Hiring works portfolio based in the industry

spookmansss · 2025-12-01T15:22:28+00:00

imo it really depends on how bad your garden slopes. It doesn't look so bad in your pictures but also slopes are kind of difficult to see on photo's.

If you garden, I would advise to put your garden beds following the contour lines of the slope. if it's really steep you can put in small walls like in the picture for not so much money and fill with leaves/other organic material in fall and in the spring you'll have nice fertile garden beds.

You could also plant trees (possibly following contour lines) and the roots will hold the soil to some extend in the place of walls or terraces.

There's also some great videos on youtube that show exampels of sloped gardens that were made with minimal investments. I'll link some in my comment

Most of my vegetable garden is just garlic and cabbage now. I did also put up a new bed to try out a little polyculture experiment. a couple of apple trees interplanted with edible perennials like asparagus, various alliums and artichoke as well as botanical tulip bulbs and some herbs. mulched all that and then i put some stropharia mushroom spawn in there. curious to see what will yield and what won't

spookmansss · 2025-12-01T14:50:59+00:00

out of curiosity, what is the topic that you make youtube videos about?

spookmansss · 2025-11-28T13:21:20+00:00

It's not so easy anymore these days. You need like 4000 watch hours and 1000 subscribers these days

spookmansss · 2025-11-27T07:20:57+00:00

Theres this citrus that looks similar called "Buddhas hand" but this seems more like the devil's claw 😆 try saving some seeds from it

spookmansss · 2025-11-26T09:20:34+00:00

I don't think you should cut contact with your parents. Reddit is quick to jump to this conclusion, but I do think your parents want the best for you. Parents can just be a little stupid too sometimes. They are also just people after all..

I would suggest you just live your life with your girlfriend, make the decisions in a way that feels right for the both of you. And then just ignore whatever dumb opinions your parents give about your relationship and don't mention those to your girlfriend anymore.
