What are your hobbies?

I’m more appalled than scared.

I’m a video editor, and also got a YouTube channel!

I’m a licenced herpetologist with a specialist licence, which allows me to keep venomous reptiles as well. This also includes husbandry of rats and mice (food chain) and husbandry of insects (food chain) for lizards. I also collect/hunt and care for invertebrates.
I love riding my motorcycle - it’s a way of life more than a hobby; my regular transport.
I am constantly working on bettering my life. I refer to myself as a Biohacker.

I guess that raises an interesting point. Everyone here who doesn’t make a living from it (I’m looking at you, Amal.) would have biohacking as a hobby.

Unless you were just curious and passing through as a lurker.
In which case,

My hobbies is learning how to program

There is a surprising number of people whose rationale for getting implants is pentesting. That would count as professional use.

…man I really would like to get into pentesting, and I really should look into it seriously… just keep talking myself off the ledge

I already know a lot of the physical side, but something happened years ago and programming just doesn’t click like it used to

Collecting/repairing vintage computers, producing music, drawing, chemistry, hobbyist electronics, many things really.

I try to do a little bit of anything I can get my hands on but my main hobbies are working on cars, off-roading, amateur radio and hobbyist electronics projects, arduino type things, stuff like that

I do leatherwork in my free time as a side hustle.

I can only imagine how stupid fast that has the possibility to accelerate… like that actually scares me a bit

That look like it is screaming out for a DT sticker

It accelerates really nicely
And it’s silent besides the rubber and road
I’ve snuck up on neighbors and animals on it

Going to use my DT kit as kill switch lock. For the bike

My Nissan LEAF is like that when I shut off the low speed fake motor noise, infotainment, and climate control (heat pump/blower). Pressing the accelerator pedal will give a soft contactor click, a little inverter / motor whine, then the crunchy sound of low rolling resistance rubber tires on asphalt.

Please tell me you have the acceleration limited or ramped in some way?

Electric vehicles are capable of stupid amounts of instant torque… and now you have significantly higher power to weight ratio

I’m not against going fast or anything, but electric can easily surpass what you can actually control acceleration wise

(Assuming you’re using really good motors and stuff)

Yeah. My contactor only clicks on with main power connection
I have to rebuild the precharge circuit. Haha it’s still sparking a bit
