The OT Thread!! Post Here When You Feel The Need!

Not at all.

My ‘sloth related title’ is related to the fluffy and amazing sloths :wink: Well they are not fluffy actually ,their hair is quite coarse but you know what i mean …

Yeah they are. Fun fact btw : Two and Three toed sloths are separated by 30 million years of evolution . So Two and Three toed sloths have around as much in common to each other as humans and baboons do.

So…What’s the name of this Twitch channel? Maybe we could help… :innocent:

@Amyrakunejo Have you checked into the local Salvation Army or GoodWill? Or Local schools? Not sure about the pandemic requirements there but I know schools used to offer PC Tech courses that fix older PCs and give them away. Could, also, check your local Buy and Sell sections on Fakebook. They usually know about free local sites too.

unsure what your needs are and what browsers/site code you wish to run, but
couldn’t it be possible for you to save/get a raspberry Pi and do your stuff on that? :thinking:

I feel for @Amyrakunejo. If not for my friend/ex-neighbour being so nice, I wouldn’t have this laptop to use at all. He even fixed it up really well after the hard drive (which was plenty old in the first place) died. I did pay him a little something, from gratitude if nothing else. Gas money I guess, but still a lot less than trying to buying even a 2nd hand laptop myself.

People put forward some interesting options here that wouldn’t be an option for me, esp. @sewcraftyme. I hope something helps, Amy. Without my online friends, I’d be hella isolated and the depression would be so much worse.

@DontBeSilly Sloths have fur like most bears do; hollow like straws.
@delenn13 Most thrift stores don’t have anything like that, at least, not around here; I don’t live in NC like Clint Basinger/LGR does, so there’s no ‘Lucky Rock’ GoodWill with decent stuff like that around here. Mostly clothes and shoes, not in my size! :rofl:
@Gnuffi Someone inquired if I would like to have their old Pi, but they NEVER got back with me (EDIT: BAD KEYBOARD). That would be about the only way I’d get one at this point, so yeah. No saving money here; I’m in the red right now because people steal from me and I can’t do anything about it.
@sewcraftyme No; in a place like this, that site is going to go unheard of because they love having the underprivileged suffer unfairly, with no voice. I’ll have a look for sure.
Also, rubbers? Those refer to flask/vial stoppers.
Def Leppard is Hard Rock, not Metal.

Too bad that the architect has no clue about design and I was hired to do that 3D … Could have been way better if I was in charge… oh well…

By the way, what are your thoughts about this bookstore, it would drive me nuts:

I’ve seen this one in archdaily before it was finished… I’d say it’s pretty bold design and we need more stuff like this to break the stale habitat of the stores :stuck_out_tongue:

Well played … if it was next to me I would have spent a lot of time in it for sure = buying stuff.

I even bookmarked it back in september :slight_smile:

It’s kind of hard to buy stuff you can’t see, or reach though.

I think I would be a little dizzy in there, would love to check it out some time.

I’m sure she would appreciate any help especially if she doesn’t know you found out from me. She wants to be as independent as possible.

My dad is an architect and I tell him this all the time :laughing:

Well as someone who has 0 clue about architecture i’d say this does look like generic modern architecture.

@YQMaoski, I’ve BEEN in a place like that, and uh, no thanks. Especially not for a bookstore.
RE: FreeCycle
So, I looked it up, and found that there’s like, nothing on offer locally and requests for unrelated everything else, and so few of them, that I know I’d be wasting my time.
So, yeah…if I’m to get a new or gently used, it’ll be OFFLINE, because guess what? eBay, BLAMAZON, and all them, they don’t accept cash and coins, AND THAT’S ALL I HAVE ACCESS TO. I REALLY AM IRRITATED BY PEOPLE TELLING ME TO BUY SHIT ONLINE WHEN I CAN’T!!! I don’t even have money on Steam and have missed the past three, four sales because of the fact that I am VERY AND UNDESERVEDLY UNDERPRIVILEGED.

Enough, is enough.

@onLooSe Very generic, square, polygon-based architecture.

Pretty neat! Thanks for the share!

Hope things turn out better for you soon.

I have used free cycle for years. I have, both, given and taken from the site. I got an almost new Barbie bike for my niece. She loved it and once she grew out of it. They posted it back on Freecycle.

That looks really stupid.
