    @Kalilak why C#? I havent seen any good methods of writing in this language and it is used significantly less widely than C++ or JavaScript which both have many good editors.

    Welp, I'm just starting to get into this, C++ is probably the next thing I'm going for :) I just heard that companies do like people who can use C# instead of ASP.net, but I have to say, right now I still lack in knowledge so I have to learn a lot hehe

    I found some interactive tutorials and explanations for Visual Studio and Unity (more used for game development), but I'm also thinking about to buy some books, yet I don't know which I should pick though. Yeah, I'm just starting, but I like it! :)

    C# is derived from c++ and isnt much different than c++, typically c# is easier to learn and can be quicker to write than c++ due to a lot being built in which has to be made manual in c++
    Also it is more liked by companies due to it becoming the next evolution while having easy linux integration

    essentially for beginning you could learn either way, migrating from c++ to c# is easy so you could learn both if wanted (learn c++ first though)

    Vape is vaporizing some synthetic oil and such to simulate smoking.
    using what is known as a e-cig or vaporizer.
    This started as a way to help tobacco smokers quit smoking.
    But some ppl got the idea that they could continue with the vapour.
    It is also not regulated like normal smoking is and thus possible to do in some restaurants and bars.
    If the vapor itself is harmful to others by "passive" inhaling is up for debate, but it would depend on what oils the user puts in their vaporizer.

    All in all vaping is a reasonably new thing and it's catching on a little beyond the original target group.
    I vould not recommend any form of smoking. Due to the risk of inhaling oils and other fumes could be really harmful to the function of your lungs. "I know this from exp"
    And it is pretty expensive to..

    My mom mixes mine and hers. I know how she's just got more stuff to do it.


    @DizzyRonson and not every "vape mix" is oil. Some are yes. There are no harmful chemicals in the exhale unlike cigs. I prefer my 6 or less ingredients vs 4000+ chemicals.

    @CheshireLill i know not all mixes are oil:) been there done that:p
    but still. i have smoked vaporizer's and other smoking thingmajiggs for more than 15 years. (is trying to quit)
    and i can tell you with absolute certainty that inhaling vapours of anykind is not good for the breathing bags..
    im not saying that vaporizers are the most evil thing around. just that if you inhale chemicals you run a risk of lung damage.
    many if not most chemicals are not good for long term inhalation. also the vape mixes are many and of many diffrent qualitys
    and you should be really carefull with what you use..

    back to ontopic:)

    what i do for fun is making things. and play with
    blacksmithing
    woodworking
    electronics
    physics
    micro mechanics
    robotics

    airplanes
    pyrotechnics

    What kind of RC toys do you play with?

    My favorite is my SK Slow Hawk Ornithopter ( like this one )

    I get the most time on a vapor in the front yard. The neighborhood cats hunt the thing while its flying.


    Just noticed you said Pyrotechnics. Was int that too, I had a quart ball mill and ground and packed my own aerial shells. My favorite site of all time for the fun stuff is United Nuclear .
    Best part of the site is the backstory behind the owner Bob Lazar.
    He claimed to have worked on UFO's for the government and currently have government contracts selling scientific equipment.

    Woodworking, blacksmithing and electronics don't have to be expensive.
    All the materials you need can be found at the scrapyard or by dumpster diving.
    For blacksmithing you only need a hard flat surface and a hammer. Then a fire in a hole and you are making knives and such in a hurry:D then sell a knife or two and you can get a shiny new part for another toy:D
    get some wood and make a nice box you can put your new shiny toy in.
    Then you hack a old cd-rom and a calculator and you have a laser security lock on your toy box:D

    Also grats on the airgun championship tonalom:D

    Good quality RC toys can be had at a fraction of "the big boys" cost at Hobby King.
    The airplane I get the most time on is a Vapor, not too expensive and I can fly it in my front yard.

    Usually there is a way to get into any hobby at a lower than retail cost. With RC I would suggest buying a vapor first to get flying down. Its hard to break it crashing it. I am going to get the FPV version of it soon, that is a little pricy.
