I went to a Hotel Furniture liquidator for some new furniture. Saw a good looking office chair and they only wanted $20 for it.

Brought that bad boy home and only then did I find out that they had sold me a new Herman Miller Aeron for only $20. Completely insane.

Make sure to loop a lock through the frame and both wheels. I use an ABUS frame lock on my rear wheel (never has to be removed) and a kryptonite chain lock for the front wheels and frame.

If you want to get really secure, replace fasteners with tamper resistant versions.

Nothing is ever theft proof, but there’s lots of ways to make your bike very theft resistant.

Pretty easy. Get a big flat slab of solid matter (probably wood, plastic, or metal) and put a handle in the middle.

Yeah you’ll be fine. It’s not about shoes, its about not tracking in dirt and mud and other crap from outside.

That is correct. Not sure if you were trying to dispute my comment but to clarify, the remark I was making is that slavery =/= imprisonment on its own. Slavery = imprisonment + work.

Only if they force you to work.

I think I’ll be looking into Boardwalk. I haven’t heard of that before. How long does that 40lb detergent bucket last you?

You like nature, and paddle boarding, and LGBT friendly spaces? Skip the West Coast, come live in the Twin Cities. It’s really nice here, it’s safe, has all the things you’re looking for, and it’s not unfathomably fucking expensive.

The only downside is that winters are cold. Bring a winter jacket.

As others commented, lining up a job is step 1 to any move. That will be be the hard part.

Do it, Frank. Declare a crusade.

I say this to everyone who will listen. The danger from AI is not a Terminator situation. It’s economists, billionaires, and c-suite execs who don’t know shit about fuck, that will push to replace their workforce with AI. In the short term it’ll even work too for a lot of companies, which is the sad part.

As OP said though, long term it’s a recipe for failure. If nobody is working then nobody is getting paid and therefore can’t buy anything. The billionaire class, however, won’t admit that they’ve fucked themselves until mobs start showing up to strip their houses of copper wire and valuables. We’ll be neck deep in civilization collapse at that point.

If this happens I’m becoming a terrorist.

This thread is a couple months old at this point but I figured I’d reply anyway.

Maybe you had a different experience but I experienced this transition in middle/high school in west MI. The first Gen iPhone released in 2007. 3G was widespread and while that might be considered slow these days, it was state of the art speed at the time, so it wasn’t considered “slow and unusable”.

In 2007, kids my age didn’t have much tech beyond an iPod or MP3 player. By 2009, almost everyone had a smartphone. That was a huge leap in internet accessibility.

Don’t let a bunch of internet bozos convince you that your interests are bad or stupid. Some people just aren’t into the things that you are and vice versa. They don’t even know you! Fuck em!

Mmmmm crunchy

Don’t wash your rice for any kind of flavor reasons. Wash your rice because there might be bugs in it.

Anything between you and the ground is always worth buying quality. Shoes, tires, mattresses, etc.

I’ll never understand the eternal hype around “flying cars”. Fuckers out here can hardly drive on a 2d road. Now you want to introduce a third axis on them?

I guarantee that if the general public gets their hands on a real “flying car”, it’ll take about 2 weeks before some drunk idiot commits a mini 9/11.

Not all sand is equal. We dredge up ocean sand because the particle shape and composition is excellent for concrete. Other sand isn’t as good.
