Herbs are great and easy to grow.

Gardening is awesome. Just had some home made mashed potatoes with chives I grew.

Rice + blackbeans + whatever is around + a tortilla = poverty burritos

Also, potatoes in many forms.

You’re crazy, that would never work.

It was in the picture but the title has been updated too

I think it’s technically feasible, but not something that would be affordable any time soon.

This is why I just use my phone’s hotspot.

Maybe where you live, some other places are much, much more expensive.

If you want one, you could probably find a decent refurbished Thinkpad on eBay or something. Just make sure the radio it has is compatible with whatever spectrums your carrier uses. Tablets also have options for cellular radios.

You can also just buy a new one, but refurbs are good deals if you’re on a budget.

Gotta charge my e-horse…

These things look badass but I’m afraid of riding anything that doesn’t have redundant brakes and at least 2 wheels.

Good old AOL…

This is how the chess pieces escape the game and take over the world. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?

I’d agree. I kind of developed a Pavlovian response of excitement to the noise. Back then though, the Internet was nothing like it is now though. There was a time when we didn’t even have websites, we had stuff like Internet Relay Chat (still around actually), Usenet, and subscription services like America Online. There was Gopher, but it really wasn’t the same as the web.

Where I work it’s an insane mix of good racks, okish racks, bad racks, and utterly pointless racks. Part of me wishes they’d standardize but deep down I know they’d standardize on something shitty if I said something. Some committee or board would probably take over and mess it up even worse.

Hope this is okay here

Mod here: Definitely ok, thanks for posting!

I wish every place had bike racks, there are plenty of places I avoid because they don’t. They’re losing out on business from me and probably lots of others.

As for office chairs, the closest I’ve gotten is riding down hallways on those office chairs with polyurethane casters (10/10, would recommend btw). You could probably get one of those hoverboards and use it as a sort of front wheel drive for a motorized version.

Connecting to dialup and listening to computers scream at each other over the phone line.

That is absolutely an option, you can spec out multiple laptops with cellular radios. It isn’t standard because it costs extra and most people aren’t going to pay an additional bill for another cell line. Typically they’re more common to enterprise environments with people out in the field a lot.

Hotspots are probably still the more common option though, at least in my experience.
