I legit drove 52 miles to work each way for a job in janky-rear end Monte Carlo when gas was pushing $5 a gallon. Did that for a year. Not once did I consider living in my car.

You know, because I valued my fiance and pets and home more than I valued min-maxing my commute costs.

Why do I feel like this thread is going to be around for several years and OP is going to start shilling the mattress in a desperate attempt to keep his house street legal?

In Toledo today, an apparent mattress firmware update gone wrong resulted in the deaths of two people. Sources say the couple suffered fatal injuries when the mattress screamed “pwned” in it’s mechanical voice and violently folded itself in half

Just some kinks to work out- like right now if it loses connection it defaults to a deflated setting because the feedback loops cut out.


Vim Fuego posted:

Look. Obviously it's not that we can't design it to just sit at a static inflation level without a connection. That's trivial. ... the higher-ups think people just won't connect in the first place if they don't have to.

So which is it? Does it deflate because of a technical issue or because the bosses want to force people to connect?

Sounds like you're getting a little too much carbon monoxide during sleepy time. Turn the engine off!

I love how Homer Simpson's "I sleep in a big bed with my wife" is such a great comeback to people deluding themselves that their lifestyle quirks are somehow bragworthy instead of shameful.

This guy sleeps in his car to save on gas and he gets more time to disrupt the smart mattress industry? I sleep in a big bed with my wife!

I saw a racing car bed the other day and told the parents that they were doing a great job.

2 days ago I saw that the parents had built a music room, a kickboxing area with heavy bag, a corner for modelling and crafts and stuff, and a pretty sweet gaming/tv/couch corner as well. Kids got cool poo poo now.

Hey don’t expect a reply, he (maybe?????) is busy driving to work on a Sunday night instead of getting up early and driving Monday morning. So he can program beds to deflate when they lose internet connectivity.

I could honestly leave Monday morning but I go out for work Sunday evening to beat the Monday morning rush hour and go home fridays.

I did this after one month into my role. Instead of spending $500 a month on gas and wasting over 40 hours of commuting, I save more money and gain more sleep. (Spend an average of $180 on gas and 8-10 hours of commuting a month now)

I also did this because my worksite provides a gym, shower and food which I also saw as an opportunity. Just imagine yourself in my situation and think about how much YOU can save.

You didn't answer if you have a place to live, that you pay for.

Otherwise, I missed it.

Also, what type of car is it? Searching found it to be a Suburu, Sedan, Legacy is basically 16' long. can you stretch out?

Do the cafeteria people wonder why you're there three times a day, every single day?

how many pairs of underwear do you have? Pants?

I've been pulling for you, but you're ignoring vital questions

OP I would recommend trading in the WRX for a nice Dodge Charger. Bigger sedan with ample space. Better interior quality. The purity of true RWD with 100% defeatable traction control, and a glorious NA or supercharged V8. (only losers get teh V6 versions)

Plot twist Vim Fuego is the CEO of Jizzmattress. He’s known as the crazy man behind the idea that tech workers see as a cautionary tale. Or even worse it’s the my pillow guy.

Also OP there is an app that you would put screen side down on you bed with you and it did the same thing. It worked ok. I used it for a little bit.

Also, if jizzmattress stops being a mattress when it loses internet connectivity, what will happen if a natural disaster like a hurricane, or wildfire knocks out telecom service? I think you’ll be up to your neck in lawsuits or FTC/BBB complaints.

Op does the IOT mattress come with a built in pocket pussy/expandable dildo/buttplug capability?

You could do that, make it like the IOT vibrators and revolutionize teledildonics.

Twitch streamers bang their mattress and all the parasocial nerds getting findommed can experience the appropriate response on their side.

Tribbing might be a hard thing to simulate, but I bet you could.

E: You can use the bang-data to train an AI to suck you off in the back of your wrx (also your apartment).
