The Useless Posts Thread

I posted an electronic piano on craigslist and got a response. It said "I need that. I don't do craigslist email, email me at first.lastname@gmail.com". It was his first and last name. It seemed strange and didn't feel right, so I googled his name (uncommon name). I found this;

"...pleaded no contest to one count of first degree residential robbery... arrived at the motel to rob a woman staying there.
Xxx is expected to receive a six year state prison sentence when he returns to court for sentencing.

During the incident, other person is alleged to have pulled a gun on the victim and demanded money, while xxx blocked the door. Minutes later they fled with two backpacks belonging to the victim".

Then I found this, which happened after the incident above;

"...arrested Wednesday morning after they reportedly burglarized a vehicle near the hospital... Both of the suspects turned out to be wanted in connection with a shooting that had taken place..."

I continued down the rabbit hole and saw he had a Twitter account. This was one of his few posts.




Fuck no I'm not responding to his email. Holy cow.

 

Nightmare fuel!

 

Never put much thought into commercial bathroom design until I was at a local restaurant tonight. All in all, not much they could do to make it better.

Metal grates with a drain beneath the urinals. Toilet stalls with solid walls and a door. A little LED light on each one, red for occupied, green for unoccupied.




Communal wash station between the bathrooms, open obliquely to the restaurant. People can see you come out and know if you don't wash your hands. Go into an airport bathroom after a plane lands, when 30 of 40 people go in, and watch how many people don't wash. Nasty. With this design, problem mostly solved

Visited friends and family last weekend and brought back a late 60's Zenith mid century modern console stereo. My dad gave this to my mom as a wedding present. It's been sitting in their garage, covered, for decades. I just did an initial clean then fired it up. Stereo works and sounds pretty good, but I'm getting a hum from the record player and no spinny. The reel to reel doesn't appear to be working either. No lights or anything. I need to pull the back cover off it and check the vacuum tubes, power cord and everything else. The other components are solid state.

 

I can smell those pictures…walnut and ozone.

On a 10 scale of jealosy I’m rocking a solid 13.

 

Yup
