No Really, You can just do stuff. I posted this https://poal.co/s/oldtechnology/750937about a crazy ass "RV" built in the 1930s but you know what?

If you have some time and space and a little bit of $$ you can just build stuff if you want to. You don't need permission. You don't need a engineering degree (reading helps).

Don't let others put limits on what you want to do.

I think I'm going to build a experimental aircraft once I move and have the space for it. Because, why the fuck not? However, I will buy a parachute and not make my own.. That I feel like would be a bad idea. I am not very good at sewing.

After a bad breakup, it hit me that I had been being told for a decade that I was too stupid, too weak, too lazy to do anything. Within a year I was successfully recording audio books, building my own microphones, repairing electronics, etc. All it took was not being told that I was utterly useless.
