    “What’s up with the wax by the slow cooker?”

    “Well, I’ve read about 10 papers on high performance cycling and have concluded, that hot waxing my chain may save about half a watt.”

    “When did you last ride it?”

    “Also a good question, indeed.”

      “What’s up with the wax by the slow cooker?”

      “Oh that’s for candlemaking, did you know that burning beeswax reduces allergens in the air by neutralizing the electric charge that makes them float?”

      I haven’t made candles in probably 5 years but I always loved that factoid about the beeswax.

      See, i had a flat, but the flat is on the rear, which means i have to take off the rear wheel, which is worse than the front. But it’s okay, the tire was worn down anyway, and i wanted to go tubeless anyway.

      So when are you gonna…

      Are we done asking stupid questions already?

    As someone who created his own pfsense router on top of a proxmox VM and know zero about networking, I feel personally attacked.

      It always surprises me when nobody is interested in learning how things around them work. I have a dozen hobbies that I don’t have time for.

        Right? I think this to myself all the time. I mean I know it’s not nobody but it sure seems like it is the vast majority.

        And yes, I too have too many hobbies and not enough time. I really hope I live long enough to retire and have time for some of it lol

          Have you ever thought about sailing? That’s my latest. Bought a boat last year after binging boat life videos and I’ve already sailed 5 hours in the last 10 months. <_<

          It’s fun though.

    This is me so much. I don’t have an official diagnosis and should probably go talk to my doctor but it’s just so much work but oh look a cool 16 episode documentary on professional poker and historical cheating in casinos on YouTube and spending multiple days and hours og researching what bicycle saddle is the best is just more satisfying for my brain. I’ve already got a referral to the psychiatrist bu that’s a year ago and is not valid anymore so yay me for not being able to take care of myself.
