My best friend's favorite book as a child.



It must be long out of print, because like-new copies go for crazy prices. The one I got was $15 with water damage on part of the back cover. Other used copies I found had worse wear or had been written in, though, so it seemed like the lesser evil.

Nice! Not bought, but I got a new single cup coffee maker for my birthday recently. Has a plastic doohickey that lets you swap between a reusable filter or a K cup holder. Works great since I live alone & don't brew a lot of coffee at once.

I recently bought these sheets and they are very soft and cheap, and come in all sorts of colors. You can get white sheets to complete your old timey hospital vibe.

a thousand puns and not one of them worth saying

Bottom Liner posted:

Pseudoscience is not an actual discipline of science, it's just bullshit :v:

Never claimed it was science, just fun research material! But the fun in it is enjoying the most pure forms of bullshit. I don't give a crap about anyone's stupid cryptozoology theories, but 'sightings' and historical accounts, BS or not, are pretty delightful. Same problem with religious history/mysticism--everyone likes to propose their interpretations of grimoires/the bible/whatever as fact, when the actual good stuff is in the unbiased translations/compilations. Most of these books pull directly from witness accounts or are really accurate translations of old 'magic' books, so they're infinitely more interesting than all the other new agey garbage books littering Amazon.

EDIT: Thread content.



It's really, really hard for me not to lay down for the collector's edition. I don't have the money, but MAN.

I got me a fairly cheap desk chair thing. It's way more comfortable than the old plastic thing I was using before today.
Going to get a new desk next week since the one I've got right now is far too small. Feeling pretty darn good rn.

Real quick answers:
Cheap answer: Get separate countertop and legs from ikea and combine. Cheap, looks nice, holds up pretty well.
More money answer: Gladiator workbench with bamboo top. Sturdy as hell, looks nice.

Jesus. I looked this up, because I make jewelry and need a decent work bench. Those are loving expensive. I get that it's a solid piece of hardwood but gently caress I can't afford that :/

Ikea it is!

It doesn't look like $7000 either - in that condition $70 seems about right.

A new SD card for my DSLR because my current one is giving me issues and I want to start getting back into the photography game more often.


A USB3.0 SD card reader because I don't trust my current USB card reader and it's a few years old anyway. Plus this was only $6.


Some $3 body wash because I used the Amazon Filler Item Finder site to find something cheap to get me to $35 for free shipping.

How does that bike handle in the snow? I want one, but have no place to ride and don't like all that unsprung mass. They look rad, though, and your green color is double rad.

Couldn't tell you, as I picked it up recently and then we got all this snow, so I've forgotten what asphalt even looks like.

Coydog posted:

Couldn't tell you, because we got so much god drat snow in the suburbs that I can't even ride it. Suboptimal got the same bike and got to ride it around D.C. since the streets only had a bit of snow on them, and I can tell you he had an absolute blast. All I was able to do was walk to the beer store and get my fiance some more Not Your Father's Root Beer and me some Sam Adams Nitro White Ale which I haven't tried yet. It's crappy that when you're snowed in you sit around drinking then wake up with a hangover and have to shovel snow, but I'm fixin' to do the exact same thing tomorrow.
