There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!

Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.


Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!


Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice 🍉.

I do steady, part time work as a blacksmith, because I love it.

I also work for a hot air balloon ride company, again, because I love it. But, the balloon business is seasonal and weather dependent. We fly about 8 months out of the year, and about half our scheduled flights are canceled due to weather.

I'm looking for one more hobby/gig to do in the off-season or when it's just not flyable.

Something more interesting than DoorDash... I really don't want to go back to that.

if you can start getting some word-of-mouth recommendations, handyman in the burbs is pretty lucrative.

Install a couple TV mounts or climb a ladder to install a Ring camera, $200 bucks labor no sweat.

You could also hock custom ironwork while you’re there, carry some pieces with you!

I know someone who works as a software dev and does photography as a hobby. He gets a pretty steady stream of wedding photography gigs on the side.
