My favourite hobby is buying the tools and supplies for hobbies that I never really get in to…
Yeah between the mini wargaming, computers and recent foray into combat robotics it’s all adding up.
Fpv is so expensive ;(
I want to get into it, especially since I now have a 3D printer and can print custom parts, but even that hobby itself is getting to be expensive.
Imagine waking up in the middle of the night, not being able to sleep, and figuring out that Eurorack exists. 🥲
I’m thankful that I’ve been able to resist, so far.
this was me buying $100 yoyos… then I got an associates in applied mathematics and I now can’t stop talking about it.
moral of the story: every hobby leads to math autism
That’s what I came here to say. Find a math/ science adjacent hobby (note: hobby must be expensive) to devote a disgusting amount of time researching, then use some of those skills to find a job. I like computers, 3d printers, and cars; I got a job servicing and installing industrial equipment.
Sometimes you don’t even have to partake in the expensive hobby. Just spend weeks reading about it on Wikipedia and forums and watch a few dozen hours of YouTube videos on it and you’re bound to get enough side knowledge to be useful in some field.
This was also me with music production. Then I got a MS in electrical engineering and I can’t stop talking about math.
You think math and science aren’t expensive fields?
signal generator - $2000
oscilioscope - $200000
nope, and that confirms it.
I haven’t bought an oscilloscope in a while but that seems like way too much.
well, generally these can range from a few hundred dollars to several thousand or 10s of thousands of dollars. The ones we use in my university are about the 10s of thousands range.
That said, you can find some for 100,000 to 200,000
Tbf I heard universities don’t require rich parents in sane countries.
I love Plastic Crack!
