Good, let’s make that happen sooner.

I have a hideous lamp that I hate that’s worth about a grand. It doesn’t look like it’s worth that much, just a heavy brass base and reverse painted landscape shade.. but all antique and sought after.

My cats are probably going to break it so I should sell it but it was the last lamp my mom refurbished before she died (why it didn’t get sold and I got it in the first place)

I also have a brass fairy floor lamp that, with no shade, is worth about $1500, but that one looks valuable, and is very rare (and super cool)

But that’s not what would happen because the people who can’t afford to live there are mostly the people who make society function.

You can’t have a working city without the people at the bottom. So what you are proposing is that the city should collapse.

Rather than, you know… just making sure people can afford to live there instead..

I wish I could get my partner to see it this way.. they work in IT and manage the MDM tho, and the other person with access has been partner’s friend and colleague for over 10 years, so partner is confident it’ll all be fine.

Such a dumb mindset for someone who constantly complains of being burnt out.. like no shit you are burned out, you check work emails all day/night, and handle them regardless of time..

That dude is fucked when he gets arrested and there’s just a super clear paper trail leading back.

I hope the paper manages to survive this, and maybe recoup some of the money lost through legal means. And I hope they can hire their staff back soon! I bet none of them would be against going back considering!

I have a camera from… before that era (a cannon retina II from 1937-1939 that my grandfather used during the war), it has a textured film advance knob that’s super easy to use quickly. Someone skilled with their camera could probably get 3-4+ shots if they were prepared for it. If they had a camera with a film advance with the flip-up swivel knob, it could be considerably more.

I used mine for a photography course (everything about it still works flawlessly, just missing some powder coat paint from a couple places) and without much skill I could have managed maybe 2 myself - but analogue cameras were dying when I was growing up, the closest you’d usually come is those disposables or cheap plastic shell cameras, and you couldn’t do much with those. So totally different skillset than I was exposed to.

I’ve served food and it turns out it’s literally impossible to find a time when the table doesn’t have a mouthful, and actually make it to the table before one happens.

If you are by yourself sure, but 2+, can’t be done. Mostly because of conversation - one talks the other eats, then swap. I’ve tried many many times (when slow) because it bugs the shit out of me when it happens to me.. which is always.

Likewise, doctor who is pure fantasy as well, and it grinds my gears when people call it sci-fi.

The technology is “wibbly wobbly timey-wimey stuff”, and just pulled out of someone’s ass (sonic screwdriver, immortality chip, phone that works across time, etc etc) there’s nothing science about it at all.

Especially when coffee grounds are a wonderful addition to compost, and help the breakdown of the rest of the material.

Large scale composting of all organic material (or even small scale, really) is much more efficient and impactful than trying to collect only coffee grounds for this purpose.

You don’t know that.

The cuneiform might be penis/sex jokes.

So… Amazon soon, basically. They are already struggling due to their churn.

That baby was creepy in 2000 whatever Aly McBeal year (single female lawyer!) and it’s creepy now.
