    I’m not refusing to listen, and I’m not trying to reinvent the wheel. I’m talking to a dude in this thread about his mods to an oven. I’ve read about concrete pavers instead of blue stone. It’s an interesting home, diy project I’m hoping to have work a handful of times. I’m not trying to abandon my kitchen and feed my family primarily from this. It’s a weekend project, not a life-or-death endeavor. The cost of a real brick oven is more than we’re willing, or able, to spend for something that will get used maybe 2 or 3 times a year.

    And at the end of the day, I’m outside having fun moving rocks around with my kids.

    So I’m gonna try the concrete pavers. If that doesn’t work, we’ll just go back to using the stone in the oven. Maybe look for a used ooni.

    Im not sure why people are getting so bummed at me for trying a diy way yo do it. I said I’d try a couple of times, not suffer the rest of my life blowing up rocks weekly.















  • I’m not sure if believe in a “meaning” to life, but I’m here for a good time. I’m married (2nd time) with 3 kids. I work to support us and pay the bills. But why do I keep living? Why not kill myself in leiu having a cup of coffee? Because death is inevitable and if it’s going to happen anyway, I can use the brief time here to experience all that I can.

    I figure the Universe is going to go on with or without me and there’s not a thing I can do to change anything. But I’m not here to change the Universe, I’m here so it can change me. I’m a bird soaring through an infinite void with a brief passing through a bright window. Why not appreciate the view while it lasts? And if I can, why not try to make anyone’s else’s brief time out of the void a good time too? Life is absurd, existence is chaos, and it’s all just funny as absolute shit.

    I think really, there’s no reason for anything but ice cream is good, hikes in the woods are rad, hanging out with pets and friends is joy. Why stop doing that just because nothing matters?
