Gator Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 4 hours ago, WolfNightV4X1 said: Does anyone else feel that way where you buy a food or drink product or something, and the bottle or packaging is just really well done and presented very well that you just want to keep it but feel like that'd be trashy and hoarder-y since you could just buy another one sometime in the future anyways and you'd end up with more. You know...stuff like the boxes ferrero rocher is sold in. I suppose it isnt unusual to reuse things like popcorn tins for storage...but still...there's a lot of garbage I think of keeping because the company did a good job with the packaging aesthetics i have a huge -thing- for really well done packaging. ...i also have the urge to keep any sort of container that seems reusable. and anything pretty or shiny. i collect glass bottles and discarded earrings, ffs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hux Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I have an affinity for really tacky and stoner-y vintage type stuff. I think it started of mostly as irony and is now preserved by a sense of comfort when I'm around such things. I think it might be because I get a weird sense of nostalgia for times that I never lived in and that I associate the modern world with stress and hardship. The 60's, 70's, and 80's are heavily romanticised so maybe that has a lot to do with it. I want an ornate rug, a waterbed, a lava lamp, an old record player, and some beads in my next apartment. I'm such an unrelatable weirdo and I can't help but take a warped sense of pride in it. Is my identity messed up? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm such an unrelatable weirdo and I can't help but take a warped sense of pride in it. Is my identity messed up? Nope. Get the turntable first, and a decent amp, and some speakers. A good stereo is so much better than earbuds and MP3#s and such...this alone will prove an orgasmic delight. And with a good stereo, it doesn't 'crash', and is a lot more reliable than a computer; I still have my Carver Amp that I got 15 years ago, my Hafler Pre-Amp, and my Magnaplanar Speakers. If you love music, it's a better investment. Oh, and a more recent Music Hall turntable, Grado cartridge. I sleep on my tummy, and did have a waterbed for a while, but had to get rid of it, because of the way it mashed against my face, when I sleep, so that it was hard to breathe, and I could not sleep well. But it was very bouncy, and weird feeling. Oh, and ornate rugs are nice...and weed also helps, of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Lee Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I lost a USB drive. It had, among other things, quite a bit of fur porn in a folder.

Jtrekkie Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 The wind was blowing steadily from 60 to 70 miles per hour today, casting enough dust into the atmosphere to give the impression of being in the center of a grey/blue dome, with no trace of the sun but a brighter patch of sky.

Surreal. While not as cool sounding as that, last night when I was driving home, the whole area was covered in a dense fog that I could hardly see in, certainly the worst I've experienced. You could see wisps of cloud move through the lights. I was just waiting for some sort of animal to jump right out in front of my car. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazerMaster5 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 So today my dad gave me his old Toshiba Thrive, which has been in storage for a long time now. While the botched Android 4.0 update ages ago fucked up the OS, the hardware is rock solid. I don't think you could find such a durable device on the market today. I'm thinking of rooting the device so I can clean up the system and maybe load a newer version of Android that can support the latest apps. Any cool idea projects for it? It has a full size SD port, a mini USB port (not micro SD, this tablet is a dinosaur), a full size USB port, and a full size HDMI port. A keyboard can be plugged in and used no problem, so peripheral support is potentially high. After all, this tablet is a relic from a time when we thought tablets would replace laptops. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrGravitas Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 TIL Our family has several boxes of cremated pets, brought with us across multiple moves. I never much thought about it, but I guess it makes sense. Still... I had previously thought these were just miscellaneous decorations around the house .-.

DrGravitas Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 One of the great parts of being with folks: Going shopping with them at Sam's Club. I got 3 massive, beef jerky bags for only like 18 bucks! Living alone I can't justify the cost of the monthly membership fee, so it's a bit of a treat to go with the folks. Jerky for days! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
