Pretty sure he welded himself inside it.

Eh, Heemeyer was an asshole. He was given a few different perfectly reasonable resolutions and refused them all.

If the moon was made out of ribs, would you eat it?!

Cost of doing business.

Kingdom of Loathing has entered the chat.

Many have.

So… Sorry everyone.

Costco has wide aisles. People still block them with their shit because people suck.

This is what happens when the people in charge of everything are entirely separated from reality.

The Chinese design-manufacturing-retail pipeline isn’t like what it is in the West. There aren’t nearly as many “bespoke” products made for a single company.

That’s not how it works. Factory makes Thing. Anyone who wants to resell Thing buys it from the factory and labels it BRAND Thing.

Refuses? “Here’s a thing you might like.” But I want more.

The manufacturing environment in China is different. A lot of products are made from an existing design, then anyone who wants to sell those buys them from the factory.

The weird “brand names” are basically drop shippers. People buy Thing, send them to Amazon’s warehouses, pop a storefront.

Don’t hate the player, hate the game.

They turn on axles, which ball (or needle/roller) bearings do not.

Any pulley or sprocket is arguably a wheel.

Ffs you don’t do that shit from your own computer. You use a zombie.

What kind of camp??

Not to mention that lurkers always outnumber contributors by at least an order of magnitude.
