    But seriously library economy, guys. There’s no reason for every house in your neighbourhood to own a jigsaw, or even leaf blower.

      Tell that to the guy who drives a 3 ton pickup truck to work every day, because of that one time 4 years ago he had to transport a fridge rather than pay £20 to have it delivered.

      I’ve been thinking for years now about the idea of opening up a “neighbourhood kitchen.” I would prepare and provide all sorts of common ingredients, as well as cooking tools. People could come in and use what they want, maybe paying a membership fee plus used consumables. The most annoying parts of cooking are gathering the ingredients and cleaning up, these would be done for you.

      I hate it so much, the anxiety of not understanding the overview of what you are reading abut, the subsequent decisions, the pauses bcs your brainhole just gave out & needed some recharging time, etc.

      … wait, did I say ‘hate’??

      That’s kinda like shopping too. Just that second hand is better for the environment, doesn’t waste resources & doesn’t waste labour.

    Got too many PCs, like optiplex small/medium ones. Can live without 4-5 I guess. Two tiny m710 (I upgraded them to m910q ^^) one with the famous cd.

    What would you (imaginary) trade with me?

      My hobby is collecting broken computers and putting them on a shelf for later! Your hobby sounds pretty sensible - come the apocalypse you can craft away and you’ll have loads to barter with! Artists will travel to peruse your epic retro craft supply cavern!

      I’ll be left wondering what to do with a Pentium Core2 if I don’t take action soon! I do upcycle them but right now the backlog is silly and they probably just need to go to the dump because nobody wants a midrange PC from 20 years ago.

      Maybe my hobby is e-waste!? Fark! =-O

        Well since you put it that way, my hobby is sensible. But then you reminded me of my other hobby of keeping every electronic device I’ve ever owned, along with wires, chords and ac adapters I don’t even remember what they go to. Together we’re like the e-waste little mermaid!

    So, whats the protocol when someone lists something, and then immediately they’re interested again because they listed it?

    (I watched my ex go through this cycle so many fucking times)

      I think it’s got to be like once you’ve donated, it’s in the system and you’re just another borrower.

      Maybe there should be a cooling off period for any items over a certain value where you can get it back if you regret donating. But stuff like pens and glitter isn’t going to be worth the bother of tracking that sort of thing.

      You have to go through a cooldown before you can list something again, to make sure you’ve really thought about it. Either that or it lets you think you’ve listed something, but doesn’t actually list it for a couple of days to make sure you’re serious.

      I think there could be a box that you check, where another person linked to your account signs off on it. That way you can list it, and then when they think you’re renewed interest has died again, it really gets listed.

      I hyperfixate on research to find the best price/performance fpr my use case and then either forget, abandon or maybe follow through with it.
      Last research (but only very minor): Ayn Thor to emulate Nintendo DS with an actual clam-shell dual screen setup.
      Usecase: Pokemon Plat (or Diamond) and Dr. Kawashima would be prime material.
      But it would be capable of playing less-demanding switch titles.

      Currently waiting because of cost and quality of hardware. But it looks promising (believe it was 400€ in total)

        none of the DS emulators impress me enough to consider yet mainly bc of the touchscreen lag/no hard stylus

        probably wouldn’t be impactful for pokemon but in DS games that heavily use the touchscreen it’s pretty noticeable

          As I’ve only tried melonDS so far on a SteamDeck touchscreen with my finger, I can’t say much about responsiveness (not easy to slide on the screen).

          But I’ll try and see how to works. Thanks for info.
          When it’s as you described, I have at least a more portable pokemon Emulator than my steamdeck.

            oh yeah for sure I don’t think it’s a bad fit for your use case tbh just wanted to share my personal hangups.

            i really wanna play diamond/pearl (my OG) but really cba with the two screens smooshed into one on my retroid pocket flip 2 but I didn’t even consider it for steamdeck … that doesn’t sound terrible w how big the screen is

            considered the remake/remaster/whatever for the switch and could cope w the much less cool gfx but last I looked into it it didn’t emulate well

              I play the brilliant diamond on my steamdeck (and pc) with yuzu and synced saves (syncthing) across both devices.

              Honestly it’s amazing.
              Same for melonDS.

              Btw regarding responsiveness: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Kt3GezkZeR4 (Timestamp: 16:14) for a demo at how responsive the emulator is on the ayn thor.

        I like this because it’s also practical (and that Thor looks pretty sweet btw). What I’ll do is create a spreadsheet of all the classes I would need to take and in what sequence in order to get into medical school, even though I have literally zero intention of ever doing so.

    There should be a contract that you get the tools but you also get the last unfinshed project. This way, hopefully we may all collectively finish a project

      There’s no way a neurotypical figured out that the stars rotate in predictable patterns in the sky that correlate with the changes in seasons and can be used to time crop planting. Also, that guy probably had a cave full of star drawings and was fed by the tribe because he routinely forgot to eat.
