Surprisingly, it was in a kids bedroom and aside from some crayon marks was in amazing shape! Older wood furniture wasn’t made with modern apartment buildings and frequent moves in mind. My wife’s grandparents parked their butts and had the luxury of not moving for 60 years to accumulate all the heavy furniture they did, we’ve ditched all our furniture and started over twice in 5 years.
Same! I think it’s probably the best way to get quality furniture without having to pay a lot. When I married my spouse we got all of her grandma’s furniture, the only time I’ve regretted that is when we move, some of it is really heavy.
Speaking of heavy, a couple years back I picked up a really cool Mahogany 1920’s art deco desk off of a local marketplace, made by a local executive office furniture supplier that’s long gone out of business. It’s gotta be at least 10ftx5ft and weigh 200+ lbs. I picked it up for free but had to pay people to move it. Looks sort of like this one only wider in the middle. The planks that slide out above the drawers are absolute genius.
It’s on the lock screen, but I think only when the alarm is coming up
Edit: I can only get it to show up there when the alarm has gone off and I’ve snoozed it
I didn’t have any luck with brand new chairs, like you said they’re all $1,000+. Depending on your comfort with used furniture, local vintage might be your best bet. I dry cleaned the wool upholstery and then sanded and re-stained the wood and it looked almost new!
I was on the same hunt years ago and I ended up picking a vintage chair that I found locally, it looks a lot like this one.
Wood with wool upholstering, looks nice in my office which is mostly all wood furniture, and one of the comfiest chairs I’ve ever used for how I sit. I tend to sit cross legged in my chairs and since this is a flat cushioned bottom that works well.
It was free even, my one regret is not grabbing both of them
Edit: I looked up a city similar to my own and found a couple like what I have. https://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/fuo/d/glen-ellyn-green-executive-high-back/7788738718.html
Fertile soil for grifts. There are people who make good money selling gold to chud goldbugs.
I’ve had to navigate older family members through so many gold scams lately
Agreed. You can’t separate the American people wholesale from settle colonialism and imperialism, it’s baked into the majority
I really appreciate the steam deck for that
Something about GBA on a PSP just feels right. That was my first emulation handheld, recently found a nice condition original thicc model and jail breaking that thing has been so simplified. I remember needing a paperclip last time I did that
I would definitely agree with that. In McVeighs case it seems like he had tertiary involvement with weapon runners for the intelligence community which had significant overlap with the right wing gun show and white supremacy crowds. You can draw spiderweb connections all over, but they don’t amount to much more than interesting connections and coincidences.
I don’t invest myself in these much more than letting my imagination get some exercise, it’s my equivalent of lore nerding
This article is basically a primer for Aberration in the Heartland of the Real. McVeigh connects like a spiders web across 1990’s conspiracies. He’s like the forest gump of conspiracy theories.
After reading Aberration in the Heartland of the real I was just left more confused than ever. There was significant prior evidence of bombing threats to the Murrah building, bomb sweeps had been done prior to April 19th and emergency police services were dispatched about 90 minutes prior to the bombing, corroborated by eye witness testimony both civilian and emergency service personnel. Plus a ton of stuff in that book that I’m sure I don’t remember.
I don’t think he necessarily needed any training, but I do think some 3 letter agency was significantly involved
More and more convinced that McVeigh was set up and trained by the FBI and they intended to catch him before the act, just like this, only they fucked up really really bad
Ironically I’ll most likely find out from hexbear. If y’all can keep quiet about it I think I could potentially go weeks. Hexbear is the only site I visit.
I like the chevy silver-ado because the vortex engine is made with real tornadoes.
I get exposed to truck conversations a lot, I usually just bring up the disappearance of small trucks and try and get them thinking critically about why that is.
Much in the same way 20+ brands of peanut butter on the shelf where the only major difference is the style of the label isn’t actual consumer choice.
FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU
Best part 
I’ve heard stories of people losing their birthdays by crossing the date line, lol
This is also “profitable” with some big air quotes, they still have to make back all of that money they lost.
Stewed tomatoes straight from the can are an occasional craving, they’re very good
