Okay, so if the county forces me to put a toilet and kitchen in the MurderHaus this is how it's going to be built.  May make this smaller. It seems huge to me. Maybe make the main area a 10x12. Rytheric fucked around with this message at 20:01 on Feb 7, 2021 |

One problem I'm seeing is that you've got a door there labeled "not french door". Without french doors from the bathroom to the kitchen, how are you supposed to monitor the stove while taking a dump? Big flaw imho. I first saw this tub posted as something that no one on earth has ever needed or wanted, and I've been secretly lusting after it ever since, so I feel like Ry will enjoy it:  For a mere $7k, you too can sit in a wood-fired cereal bowl situated conveniently adjacent to your outhouse.

wood fired hot tubs from Finland are great, you can even buy ones that are already assembled, my parents have one of these, siting in one of these in snowy winter is a great experience ,

So while layout out boring locations for a site today, I stumbled onto a squatters camp which are always interesting to find. Typically I say hey or ask if anyone is there to alert. This time there was a squatter on site, so I told him what I was doing, and he was like "so how much time do I have?" I made some phone calls and told him probably another 2 months. Considered giving them another address to squat on or the property I was considering buying. Maybe they would have helped me build the timber shitter.

Okay, so one of the guys in the eve echoes discord urged me to tell one of my stories. I dont post everything here because I don't want to distract from the GroverTruk, murderhaus, and timbershitter, but I also noticed that the thread is titled "...and Ry." So here is the story of how I lost my fiance to a game of DnD and kind of the aftermath. So I dated this girl from my sophomore year of high school to my sophomore year of college. In my sophomore year of high school I was nicknamed the goth king of the high-school because I played electric guitar at recess, wore black and tripp pants, and peirced my own nipples during a episode of apathetic boredom. I was some hot poo poo. Prior to that I was just some tall chubby guy until I worked with my grandfather renovating my mother's house and doing all the electric work he couldn't reach in the attic. The renovation coupled with shredding some system of a down and neoclassical music in my downtime got me super skinny my sophomore year, and with my goth king persona I had women fighting over me. The girl that eventually won my heart was just this shy girl in a hoody that would draw anime while she lended support to other girls trying to woo me over. Pics of teenage me prior to decking myself in black unfortunately I don't have any Gothic pictures of the time.  Me being me next to a computer.  Me pretending to be a hotshit guitarist. Things were great for a bit as we were both rather nerdy and fell in love over dnd and everquest. Til I started gaining weight and shifting my goals from guitar (which I only started to get with a particular girl) and being a programmer like my father to being a chemistry teacher since my strong suits in high-school were chemistry and psychology which essentially downgraded me in the eyes of her family meanwhile she was still incredibly hot herself. I could have followed in my dad's footsteps as I was tech savvy, however that was my dad's thing and I seen him get laid off too many times, so I did my own thing. Here is us at prom: Mod edit: please do not post pictures of people without their knowledge Anyway so we are pretty heavily in dnd. She loved when I was the dungeon master because I would produce good story driven content. She asked if she could write a novel based on one of the campaigns I would play with just her, but it was based off novels I had planned to write, so I was like. No, I'm the creator here. Unfortunately, I would spend months of the summer and all holidays away with my dad which would make her feel neglected. It didn't help that I was following two depressing philosophies; one that only focuses on what's in the room at hand (which meant I didn't speak to her much if she wasn't around) and a false interpretation of stoicism which resulted in me punishing myself if I had emotions (which made me somewhat emotionless). This combination resulted in her cheating on me with one of the other dnd players each time I left to see my dad until she had cheated on me with essentially every one in the dnd group. Her rationalization for cheating on me was that I must be cheating on her because I was a sex addict in her eyes and that she wanted me to be jealous and express emotion. It ended up backfiring on her in that regard because I was an overconfident rear end in a top hat at the time who thought my fellow dnd players were too pathetic to be jealous of. One of them didn't have teeth at 28. (Not that's a problem looking back now, but I was an rear end in a top hat) That was also the time when I roughly found out I was poly friendly because I didn't see a problem with her meeting her needs if I wasn't around which added to the nonjealously. Anyway so come college we started pseudo living together or rather she would trap me in the women's dorm since she had to escort me to leave. I had gained 100lbs on her due to random stresses and inactivity from spending my life behind a students desk meanwhile she was still incredibly hot. Things seemed to be working out between us and I ended up proposing to her during a particular intense night of passion and things seemed be going really well. Except we both started getting depressed (she natively had chronic depression) to the point where she couldnt do any of her school work, so I would do it for her. (I also did all her course work her final year of highschool else she wouldn't have graduated), but she couldn't pass the tests so she kind of flunked out and I failed that year. The only thing that made us happy during that time was sex and dnd. Prior to failing though there were two incidences that lead to us falling apart. During one instance, she trapped me in the dorm room and I had to leave, so she threatened to take her ring off if I left. Which I faked being mad about. It was the first time I ever faked being mad, and that resulted in a passionate night and she let me leave afterwards lol. But then a few weeks or so later, I was tired from doing her work and studying for tests that I didn't feel like driving four hours to pick up everyone to play dnd since I was the only one in the group with a car. This was something we did very weekend and I was the dm so that meant no one was would play either if I didn't show. She ended up threatening to take off her ring and leave, and I was like go ahead its not going to make me less tired. So she did. Now I dont remember if I flushed the ring down the toilet, threw it out the window during a ride home, or if I simply lost it in one of my hoodies cause all of those thing vividly crossed my mind. But that was it, the ring was gone and our relationship spiraled downward from there until the point where I was taking summer classes to balance out my GPA so I didn't flunk out myself; She found someone to cheat on me with when I turned off my phone for two weeks during summer finals and he wasn't some complete loser, he was someone I respected as we competed together in state math competitions and took calculus together in highschool. She ended up sticking with him a few months while I did my own thing. I probably could have gotten her back afterwards, but I was tired of it, and I was taking medication that made me go temporarily insane which didn't look good lol. So afterwards, I hit kind of a low. One of the things that was a negative in our relationship was that I was what was perceived at the time as a sex addict. So I decided to hold myself to a strict vow of celibacy except for one night to help a friend rebound (this night of passion was so incredible it ruined the idea of normal passion for me). Essentially I wouldn't date unless I viewed them as someone I'd marry. This turned into I wouldn't date unless I could support two people and potentially a child financially, and thus I didn't date for the remaining 6 years of college. This eventually made me have a false feeling of being unlovable and made me depressed for a while til just just randomly started dating one year which resulted in the story on how I got my sailing certifications. After that, I stopped dating until I felt more financially secure, and now it feels like I shouldn't date until my MurderHaus are done unless a lady wants to help build them or realizes I'm a work in progress and accepts that. I am no longer celibant though, but still prefer a relationship lol. Also bonus pics of me on the hemp farm cause why not.  Behold the plant.  Taking a break. The high vis is so I distract the helicopters while everyone else runs. Somebody fucked around with this message at 06:45 on Feb 8, 2021 |

Antivehicular posted:oh boy, it was definitely time for this thread to start with opinions on Probably not going to get much out of me in that regard lol. Every woman I've dated was so radically different that I can't say any opinion is really warranted. My only concern is finding one that likes or tolerates my quirks and timbershitter before I die, and honestly if I did die before finding someone I actually wouldn't care. I am satiated with the relationships I've had and can die happy in that regard. I wouldn't have gotten married or had kids and thus would have failed the survival of the fittest game, but I would have only failed because of modern contraceptives lol. As such I can die happy knowing I tried and got as far as I did relationship wise. Maybe my genes just aren't fit enough to survive and pass on in a world of modern contraceptives and my ancestral heritage has reached its evolutionary end. lol.

Mr. Nice! posted:This reminds me of a time on deployment years ago. We were assisting a stranded Pakistani fishing dhow in the indian ocean. Our visiting team went to get onboard, check to see if they could get the engines running, assess the situation, etc. The dhow was rocking like a motherfucker in the giant swells, though. We watched via cameras while they were climbing on a pilot's ladder that was swinging at least 10 rungs in and out of the water. The team essentially could step on the top step of the ladder when the dhow would rock towards them. Can't believe you've never posted this story, it for sure would have been in the GiP dickbook Ry you remind me a lot of my buddy who quit his calibration job with plans to be a traveling piano repairman while building some musical contraption combining a piano and a violin. He's in violin school to learn how to make violins and I feel like you two would get along really well

So to make this snippet not sound as bad. Both my fiance and I really wanted kids at the time, but it wasn't the right time. Yet if we accidently had one we would have been cool with it. This almost resulted in sabatoge a couple times. Or we would do things that could easily result in having a kid but plausibly deny that we were actively having one. Not going into details though since this isn't a NSFW channel and don't know if spoiler tags are cool. It's actually a good thing we didn't have one though. That would have definitely been a divorce waiting to happen. Rytheric fucked around with this message at 05:42 on Feb 8, 2021 |

Hey Ry please make sure you have the explicit OK from anyone whose photos you’re posting ITT. There are entire websites out there that exist to doxx posters on this site and the last thing I want is some poor woman who dated you a decade ago getting prank called because her face showed up in this thread. Which is all to say I edited that prom photo out of your post.

I can't speak to your long term relationship prospects but as long as the fire lives outside your short term prospects are immediately improved. I hate to patronise, you have the same approach as I do. I don't know if you would call yourself self-taught, but I certainly am, and have discovered there are occasions where there is a biiig gap in knowledge waiting for you like a beartrap. For example carbon monoxide or radon gas. The fact you know your wiring is a deathtrap shows that you know a little knowledge can get you dangerously far. I can say this because my temp trailer has to run everything through a thirteen amp plug and it's absolute dogshit hill person nonsense but it only blows every three months. So I know and love lovely workarounds. I want you to succeed so I can copy your (successful) shortcuts.
