Just curious, what are some of your favorite hobbies/pastimes?

For me, I like writing music but lately have been programming a lot. They go hand in hand for me since both involve creating things and understanding their creation. Both also reveal how complicated created things are and give great appreciation to how incredibly complicated life and the universe are created.

I like how just thinking about playing the ukulele is a hobby, not playing it, lol
lol well i haven't decided whether to go for it or not. i have a habit of being interested in a hobby, start it, then lose interest. currently, we are borrowing the mandolin, and this one is difficult to play because the action is high on the strings, so i'm not able to play certain chords. i'm thinking the ukulele would be easier.

For me it’s:

-Videogames
-Anime
-Pokemon TCG
-manga (Japanese Comic books)
-movies
-drawing
-youtube

For me, I like watching reviews and seeing how people critique stuff. Also, I like seeing people go over the history of stuff, here’s an example of what I might watch, I watch a variety of stuff cause I think I like learning in general, if it interests me, then I like learning about it:

interesting.... what calibers do you reload and shoot?
9 PARA
For now. I am looking into electroplating for 124 grains LEE bullets. This is because it is really hard to get a brinell hardness that is 15 or more with the alloys i can get here. This is due to lack of whell weights- Therefore i need to powder coat the ammo (i can not get here powder coat) or you have to electro plate it.
It is nice to have also some kind of grease to use it as a lube but it is always better the electroplating process. You can shoot without much smoke when you don't have lard or grease on the bullets....or even bees wax-
Looking to buy a 357 and reload that also.

My hobbies are studying the ecological convergence of botany and entomology. I also really like helping restore habitats. My favorite pastimes are biking and hiking. I enjoy some anime and horror.

Mainly flowers and clouds
Super cool. I have been interested in macro photography as well. We have just under 2,000 native plants in my county and I have been working on locating them all. Only using my phone atm but sometime soon will get a camera with some food lens. I want at least 100x.

My goal though is to locate all the plants and get good pictures of them and organize them according to landscape applications for ecologically focused residential yards.

On the opposite end because in late fall and winter it gets dark so early but I still enjoy being out in nature I want to begin learning all the stars, planets, and galaxies. I am interested in being able to get good shots of them using a camera and one of the telescopes with image taking apps. I’ve seen some cool long exposures shots of the constellations. Seen some cool “movement” images tracing the paths of fireflies too. Gives a dreams almost magical feel to them.

Any particular flowers you’re into? I really like wetland flowers and sedges. I also want to study out local ornamental barks. I like essentially everything about botany and horticulture.

Some of them. I’ve never been focused so much yet on getting beautiful images as much as technical ones but want to start focusing on better shots.

Also into anthropoids. The host species interaction and general ecosystem processes are cool to me. I am looking forward to a good camera and taking a class or two and being able to get great shots. I won’t upload anymore lol. I have around 9,000 photos of plants and animals.
