Reminds me of that screenshot where some chronic gooner asked the Cyberpunk devs way before release what kind of sex den simulation would be available.

I don’t understand people that do this.

I suggest a competition to hack the servers and figure out everybody that collected it or whatever you do at one of those

Ha, smack them in the face with the lunchbox and then take a lunch break sitting on their chest while they are down.

I’m expecting proper furniture too to return to fashion now that people are starting to realize that the cheap furniture they have gotten used to is garbage. Even IKEA that used to be ok quality and all right looks for cheap with particle board and veneer have degraded to cardboard and plastic print that weighs nothing and breaks if you give it a harsh glance.

I’ve got almost exclusively my furniture and plenty of kitchenware and other stuff second hand, except working desks and proper chairs and things like kitchen knives. My furniture pride and joy is a vintage 70s leather sofa from DeSede, obviously with a wooden frame and also weighs a ton. And it is so beautiful and has plenty of character that you’d need to invest €10000-€30000 to find something similar new today when everything remotely affordable looks bland and samey.

That said, I understand your wife. I’ve come to realization several times over the years that I have way more of various utensils that I ever need, but I just didn’t want to see them getting scrapped for no reason. I really loathe the wasteful culture of today, seeing people tear out beautiful mid century modern kitchens to keep up with this season’s shade of greige. I’ve stopped looking for more stuff, but still when I see nice kitchenware in the dumpster, I sharpen the kitchen knives and haul them off to the local goodwill for less fortunate to have good things. Even if they are cheap IKEA kitchenwares, they are still useful for somebody else. At least give it away instead of trashing perfectly good things.

But health has taken a downturn the last years and I can’t go second handing any more like I used to, so I try to buy new stuff that is somewhat sustainable and will last for a long time. Like this bottle that, unless I mess it up, should outlive me and after future adventures eventually be recycled into something new.

That is a very nice set. A lot of these things are coming back into fashion again. The newer Primus thermos was actually a present from a friend that got it from a flea market and refurbished it for me. It’s very similar to the contemporary double walled aluminium lightweight line but you can tell it is of older design. Something with the shape and the slightly different shade of green.

Oh, that is a beautiful thermos. I am reminded by an old Primus thermos I had that got lost at some point in time. It has since been replaced by a newer Primus.

Yeah, and it is really tactile and nice grip without getting neither slippery nor clammy!

Here in Sweden they started with fishing for funding and making press about being a Swedish company. It worked and they got hype. Then they moved to some UK tax haven and now they are apparently based on London.

I’m not very supportive of Nothing.
