    Get an OnlyFans?

    I absolutely guarantee that a very wholesome OnlyFans based around Juggs petting dogs and doing some light houseplant tending would make bank.

    I think he powerlifts too, so you could do lots of videos moving heavy amounts of plants and household items without a shirt while saying nice things about a person's family.

    Seriously. Also offer up custom sketches. You'd make even more bank. Onlyfans Fans are willing to pay.

    I would like to find a source of passive income. I don't know if that even actually exists but it would be nice to have something generating an extra hundred or so every couple of weeks. Nothing major.

    My side work at the meadery kinda counts but I make $12 an hour there on the production docket. So the time I'm required to be there to make it worth it come payday is more than I have laying around. I make less if I'm serving but then I get tips. I could make... significantly more if I just did the serving but my schedule doesn't work as well for that and also they have enough servers it's hard to squeeze me in a shift. That said I'm working open Friday and then all day on our solstice event Saturday so I hope I make bank then.

    But it would still be nice to find something lowkey that isn't a huge time sink that would generate a little extra walking around money.

    are you able to donate blood? was it this thread someone mentioned they make like $100 a week donating?

    Plasma is the one you get paid for.

    So plasma banks get a lot of bad press, but it's mostly just because America is one of the only developed nations in the world that pays people for plasma, which encourages people without a lot of money to lie about their risk factors for bloodborne illness. If you're healthy and can fit it into your schedule, it's some enforced screen time that can make you some decent change and is genuinely good for society.

    And if it turns out that you've got some weird serum or platelets that a lot of sick people need, you can make real money while helping out even more people. A dude I went to college with only got to go to college because it turned out he had a rare and medically significant clotting factor in his blood. So while he was living in his car at the age of eighteen, he started being able to draw several hundred bucks out of his arm every month. He keeps it up even as a well-paid professional and gets a certificate every year letting him know how many thousands of lives he's saved so far, it's rad.

    If you are thinking about donating plasma for a modest stipend or blood for free but aren't quite sure about it, check out Nine Pints by Rose George for everything you could possibly want to know about the blood industry.

    The blood donation industry needs to start a rumor that giving blood makes you lose weight. It's just plausible enough to generate some dubious studies on and people will want it to be true badly enough that they'll ignore contrary evidence.

  • InquisitorInquisitor Registered User regular
    I’ve heard donating blood is good for you? Something about having to make new blood being good, but I forget the specifics.

    But, I dunno I used to donate to the Red Cross and then moved and they have spammed me so much to donate again I basically never want to.

  • ChicoBlueChicoBlue Registered User regular
    I just got like three little vials of blood taken and I had to lay down for two hours.

    They also took some of my piss, but I usually don't have to lay down after doing that.

    I stopped giving blood because my veins are impossible to find and hit (red hair genes), which led to a bunch of scar tissue on normal IV sites. If there was a "donate blood to an absolute sniper of a nurse/phlebotomist" I'd be back to regular donation, but alas.

    I wish I could donate blood, but good lord my Vasophagal Syncope hits like a goddamn truck and I feel on the verge of a panic attack/passing out/throwing up every time I get a booster shoot/blood draw. I can't imagine lying there for 15+ minutes with a needle in my arm.

    I gave blood for a few years in my teens until they tightened the criteria and I was no longer eligible owing to my Anaphylactic allergy to aspirin (I mean, I guess I can see how a patient unexpectly being pumped full of blood that reacts to the most common anti-inflammatory medication in the world might be a problem).

    When I got removed from their roll I got a nice letter from the blood service thanking me for my donations and an estimate of how many people my blood helped. I still have the letter, tucked in a box in drawer next to me.

    I used to donate like clockwork when I worked in the office, because the local hospital group had a set rotation for which offices they were sending a blood mobile to each week.

    So, it’s been a couple of years since I routinely donated.

    BUT!

    My Cub Scout pack brought a blood mobile to our neighborhood a few weeks ago as a community service event, and I got to donate again.

    Got a sweet “My Peeps are Blood Donors” shirt and some Lorna Doones.

    Because I have a rarish blood type so I got tapped a lot in the Corps for blood

    Still it's hot otherwise I would be petting the dogs more [who are gluttons for attention} and posting it on OF to see what happens

    I've never been able to donate blood. My arms must move by some sort of bloodless magic, because I apparently do not have real veins in them. Doctor's offices take samples from my hand, and I've had most of my IVs in my hand.
    I drink so much water, and try every couple of years ( have since I was 18), and they found a vein once. Didn't even fill the bag before the vein stopped working, though.

    I've been doing the apheresis donations about 3 times a year ever since I found out I'm O-
    It's a really weird sensation when the saline/plasma is sent back in since the saline part is so cold.
    The needles only a concern when the nurse isn't as skilled as others.
    I have a full outfit of American Red Cross stuff, stuff that I'm unsure about wearing publicly because they might be seen as discriminatory? And I don't like advertising logos anyway.
    I do wonder sometimes what kind of money I could be getting, but ehhh blood seems it should be a donation and maybe I get a free blanket gifted to me.
    I just have to hope that the Red Cross is actually the best place to be donating.

    Dumb math question: I've got a couple of areas in m² that are projections on a slanted surface. I can also get the degrees of the slant. What would be the easiest formula to get the actual m² on the surface?

    Hmmm. That gives me a value below 1 for cos(θ). So it's the formula to get from actual surface area to projected area, right? So I'll just divide my projected area by that number to get the actual surface area I guess. Man I wasn't that great at maths back then but my last class being 18 years ago clearly doesn't help.
