/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>311297
Lot's of these.


Or, you know, the standard.
ADT alarm system, loud/scary doggies, guns, or good locks.
I really don't see the difficulty here.

>laser tag
>over paintball
*sigh*

Oh well, good luck OP!

5 dogs.
More guns.

Music, guns, wood working, reading, cooking, sewing, art, etc etc.

Hobbies generally cost money. Our ideas of 'expensive' are going to differ unless you let us know how much disposable income you'd like to spend. But a hobby can be anything you find interesting. I read books a couple hours a day and play music. Books are virtually free, and music only costs money at the startup, other than new strings every now and then.

I play paintball, I love it and it's a good working. But it's also expensive (up to $100 per day, plus around $500 to get started)

So what do you enjoy, or think you would enjoy? We can't tell you what to do for fun.

This thread is great.
Thank you /diy/, and take a bow.

Clearly you aren't a regular of /diy/
Saying: "Hey guys, I'm stupid, give me ideas" and typing like you don't actually care doesn't incline people to give you aid.

That being said, your idea required added weight. Added weight increases the heat issues. I doubt you could 'make' something that will do better than >>308743

Unfortunately, my workstation(s) are scattered around.

Electric drills, circular saw, belt sander, jigsaw, and hand tools are in my shed.
Drill press and table saw are under my house (raised up, pier and beam).

I typically use power line spools for work benches.

/diy/ is in agreement.
Do it on video.

>>303552
Best idea yet.
But yeah, outside is a good idea. Make sure a burn ban isn't on.

Gold.

One of my co workers pads his hours to make it look like he works a 45ish hours a week.

Makes me laugh cause my bosses are all pissed, but telling me if I want I can work extra. Hello 10-14 hour days.

>Then you have never been outside kiddo.

I've met some slackers, but the vast majority of people I know and meet work hard.

I found your problems.

>>302647
>Here's a fucking tip: don't be so fucking expendable
I've noticed a large amount of people I've worked with caught on to this. When you're valued, not only do you have job security, but suddenly your job has perks.

> playing Halo and taking all time and getting shitfaced doesn't sound like fun
We clearly don't understand each other, because that's one of the things I do for fun. I'll be doing it tonight when I get off work.

>comparing Poland to the US
Dumb. Poland is half the size of Texas, let alone the US. Add that to the fact we have something like 300 million people.

>so much delusions
I don't notice much of that down here. I do up north. We "rednecks" know what we make, know what stuff costs, know what we can be expected to make the rest of our lives, and adapt to it. And we enjoy life.

>having fun is bad
Tool.

>>302215
I thought about hopping on that. Have a buddy who was gone a few years, came back and bought a house in cash. Bastard.

>>302363
Only outside Texas. All over the east coast.
>Americans are lazy, they want money handed to them without working for it.
I don't notice this in most places in my state. We work hard for our money. The rest of the nation has been shitting bricks about a recession. We haven't seen one. Gas went up a few cents. Oh no.

I agree with this partially. A lot of kids in college have been told they will easily find jobs in their field when they get out. Many can't. Many who can are hardly making any money.

Many of our unemployed kids follow this. Many are NEET neckbeards who cant into anything.

But I've seen tech jobs available everywhere. There's been 3 I could have taken in my gov., just would have had to switch departments.

>taking drugs, going to raves, playing paintball, playing Halo.
>cited as no enjoying youth.
The fuck are you on?

>I'm just 22, but up until around being 16, I had fun by running around outside and beating my friends with sticks, while they tried to beat me or by playing hide n' seek on our bicycles. We all had computers, but we all like to have some fun.
You're hardly older than me, and I did the same things as well. But, people do different things for fun.

>>301811
>Americans are lazy
Glad I'm from Texas, since your entire statement doesn't apply to anyone I know.

>>301851
>in college
I found your problem. Degrees no longer mean anything. I work with a girl who has a 4 year degree in the field of her choice. I make more because I have more work experience. Ever since having degrees became common, they haven't meant as much. Fuck college. Trade school or long term jobs are better.

>>301861
>not taking drugs
>not socializing and building contacts to help you through life
>going to college for something you don't need to pay for
So, not only are you against fun when young, but against doing things that will help in the long run.

Holy fuck, /diy/ is retarded.

Go to page ten.
Look at the date of the first post in the last thread.
Laugh.

>>300641
>We have no choice
Wrong.
Apathy is the choice that's taken.

But I agree with your point.

>>300622
>kindred spirit

I noticed myself always blowing off my friends because we always wanted to drink beer/go see a movie/go play paintball.

And I never had any money. So now I've been making an active effort to go have fun with people because life is short and who cares about the money. If you already have an xbox, play with your friends. If you already have a skateboard, go skate. Walks in the park are free.

I realized that we've deluded ourselves into believing that to have fun we need to spend money.

Whatever you do, don't forget the kneepads.

Hey, I agree with him.

>>294161
Sometimes I wish /diy/ was more of a trolling board, because I can imagine the /b/ responses.

And the guy coming out of the hospital later and post here, hating us.

Oh well, for the better.
