I found a perfectly fine pair of white underwear, clearly used but still has a few years left
I also found 6 (still warm) white castle burgers IN THEIR INDIVIDUAL WRAPPERS THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Now, I live in California and there is no White Castle in this state, so we consider this a MAJOR SCORE
(yes, on the same bin I found the underwear, but like I said, the burgers where still on their individual wrappers so ha! Joke is on you!

My daughter works part time at K-Mart. Was rostered on to the Kids Toys section last weekend...she came home depressed that so many parents stress about buying kids presents that are pure and utter plastic shit that will get played with for a week or two then end up as landfill.
- Depressed me too.monospaced
- She is far more enlightened than I am...she's a champ!BusterBoy

Along with this controller:
https://pisces.bbystatic.com/ima…It all works. Then i bought DIRT 4 on Steam for € 3,50.
Great success.
- Controller: https://pisces.bbyst…jagara
- It's an older card, but it checks out. It runs DIRT 4 well on medium settings.jagara
- The fact that this level of hardware engineering is not even enough to a run a fucking rally game says a lot about our civilisation man...grafician
- What is DIRT 4? I'm a philosopher.MrT

- Do you look through the trash often?kalkal
- Wasteful to throw it away, but now you're wasting time playing video games alone in a darkened room.shapesalad
- @kaikal often, yes. Not kitchen waste, though.jagara
- @shapesalad he said, snarkily commenting on random QBN posts, which is time well spent :)jagara
- You know how much energy this card uses?monospaced
- Many energies, i guess?jagara

I posted an ad on Craigslist yesterday giving away some half used bottles of antifreeze, roundup poison ivy killer, drain cleaner and motor oil. Within 20 minutes everything was gone.
