Who needs physics when you got dakka?
I've been packing off an on for a little over 4 years now, and here's what I've learned:
-
Get yourself a nice harness. Some people go without a harness and just kinda stuff the STP in their pants and I guess it just magically stays in place all day, but I've never been that lucky. I swear by Cake Bandit's harnesses but there are a bunch of different types out there to experiment with. Hell, if you can sew elastic straps together you could even make your own. Some people also use medical-grade adhesives to keep their STP essentially glued in place (typically these STPs come with a large flap you stick to your groin). I've never tried these because I'm a hairy motherfucker and I don't want all my belly fur ripped out every time I have to remove my STP, but I know people who swear by 'em.
-
Work your way up to "prime time". Start completely naked from the waist down holding your STP in the shower. You'll probably make a mess your first handful of attempts, and that's okay. It's a learning process. Once you feel very confident you can use the STP in the shower, move up to wearing your harness and/or underpants (still in the shower). Once you've learned how to do that with no messes, then work up to in front of a toilet. Then, in front of a toilet while also wearing pants. This whole process might take weeks, or even months, and that's okay. You're basically potty training yourself all over again, don't get discouraged.
-
Clean your STP! Run some water and a little soap through it at least once a day. Check with your manufacturer, you might also be able to boil it or throw it in the dishwasher to get it extra clean.

I've gone through an Axolom Squire, EZP Junior, an STP Freely, and a Spouti trying to figure out what I like the best. Of all the ones I listed my favorites are the STP Freely and the EZP Junior. The Squire is great too, nothing really against it, I just prefer the similarly-designed Freely a little more. I got the Spouti on a whim and could never really get it to stay in place reliably, which is a shame because I was really interested by how minimal it was.
Just keep in mind that everyone's anatomy is slightly different and what works perfect for Person X might not work for you and vice versa. Another thing to keep in mind is size. Are you getting an STP that can also be used for sex, or are you just getting one to pee? If it's the latter, maybe you don't need something with a super long shaft. The longer it is, the more material you're stuffing into your pants which might be uncomfortable.
The one toy I wanted more than anything as a kid was the Jurassic Park Compound.
I see them on Ebay going for $100-200, but that's just for the building itself. It'd be pretty pointless to have a big fence with no dinosaurs in it, so I'd have to buy some dinos too. And I need action figures to sit in the watchtower and watch over the dinosaurs, you gotta have that.
And then the realities of adulthood set in: I wouldn't enjoy this toy as much as I would have when I was a kid. Kid me would probably spend hours with this thing crafting big elaborate stories about wrangling dinosaurs and stuff like that. Nearly-40 me would set up the toys, make sure everyone's in cool poses, and then it would probably sit on a shelf. I'm not really sure it's worth it.
So while I'm sad I never got the toy as a kid, I think going back and buying it nowadays would be kind of an expensive hollow victory.
I believe it, I'm currently in Texas saving up to move and Minnesota has been #1 on my list of places to go.
If you force me to go to the bathroom outside I'm gonna use your front lawn, buddy.
Right? I think it's the name of the person who commissioned the picture.
Typically first person.
You might want to check out Record of a Spaceborn Few by Becky Chambers. The book is about the people of the Exodus Fleet, a group of multi-generation ships that left Earth years ago. Even though the fleet eventually found other planets for them to live on, many are content to continue living out in space. It's a neat little slice of life book about this community doing their part to keep these ships going.
Cavern of Dreams is a great little game, I played it a few months ago. The controls felt a little imprecise (on the PC version anyway) but the graphics absolutely nail the N64 look.
We'll take all kinds of dragons!
Small dragons, big dragons, even radioactive dragons.
When it comes to buying furniture: Get secondhand furniture handed down by relatives, or found at thrift stores, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, garage sales, whatever. It's more eco-friendly to buy stuff that already exists, it'll probably cost less than brand-new furniture, and the older stuff is sturdier than anything you're going to get at Ikea.
With the money you save buying secondhand tables and drawers and such, buy a GOOD brand new mattress. You can cheap out on a lot of furniture, but never cheap out on a mattress. Decades from now, your back will thank you.
3D Dot Game Heroes on the PS3. Forget good ports, this poor game didn't get ANY ports.
