@semanticfire aww. It's a good idea, but a bit far for my dad. He likes watching youtube videos on technical subjects though.

@Gina Yeah, you didn't specify geographic whereabouts, but maybe universities nearby offer something similar?

What would be a good gift for a boomer dad with lots of time and zero hobbies? He's super handy, but not interested in tech.
@Gina not really a present, but would a repair cafe be a place for him?

@Gina
Happy Birthday to him in advance 🎂 You might have to give us something to go on! Zero hobbies?... Gardening? Music? Cycling? Exercise? Reading? Drawing/Painting?.. I'm sure we can come up with something 🤔 -

@Gina Yeah, especially as its audience keeps shrinking, and there are only a few companies making them still in business.

@semanticfire Meh he doesn't really like people that much.😅 I think he's perfectly happy with staying at home. He'll probably do endless projects on the house.

But I did realize that he loves gardening and has a little unused greenhouse, so I think I will go with @disisdeguey 's suggestion and buy him a book on building your own food and a seed starter kit. :)

@Gina we build an image of your dad based on the things he doesn't like.
The infamous quote doubtfully attributed to Michelangelo on the creation of David, "I just chipped away all the marble that wasn't David"We end up with what your dad likes, based on everything he doesn't like. 😉

@ph00lt0 Oh gosh there goes my money (for myself, my mom would never allow this into the house).

Great idea! For what its worth I got this for my Birthday a few years ago which I found very helpful and can recommend. Oh yes, and Happy Retirement to him too 😊

#vianegativa@semanticfire I think I've decided on a book about growing your own food (they have a little greenhouse in their back yard), with some recipes (we always joke about his 2nd career being a chef - he can't boil an egg right now) and a seedling starter kit. Thanks for helping :)

AFAIK recharging is a 1.5 MegaWatt, 1000 Volts affair. Per single charging point/plug. Such powers and tensions are not only quite dangerous to handle but they will require extensive rebuilding of existing electrical networks

Leggo che al #cinema 40 anni fa non ebbe successo. Non ne dubito, anche se io la ricordo diversamente. Sarà pure che le canzoni dei #Queen comprese nella colonna sonora allora erano ovunque. Sicuramente "ne rimarrà uno solo" sarebbe stato un consiglio da seguire quando vennero realizzati X sequel. Usciva il 7 marzo 1986 (negli USA) Highlander - L'ultimo immortale https://streamingcommunityz.computer/it/watch/5268
