That’s actually super cool! (Admittedly, one of my favourite youtube channels is practical engineering so I am not an authority on actual coolness.)
Did you folks not have Red Shoe Diaries?
Honestly, carefully looking on marketplace, being willing to travel to the bougie end of town got me a high end microwave for cheapish and I’m never ever going back.
Sensor reheat, just heats my damn food. Frozen food setting, hell yeah, all thawed perfectly.
The rich live better and I’m fine enjoying their leavings.
What separates Bruce Wayne from other people apart from money?
The willingness to devote their lives to training in all forms of combat and gymnastics and push themselves past Olympic mastery (as well as all the esoteric knowledge and studying required to become the world’s greatest detective.)
And here’s the thing, if your theory were correct there should be multiple Batmen. It’s bizzare to claim that somehow the existence of one billionaire means no one else is able to become one or devote their lives etc.
Just to make sure I understand your position… Your theory is that if other people had Bruce Wayne’s money, they would spend it on advanced tech, weaponry and simultaneously devote their lives to training in all forms of combat and gymnastics and push themselves past Olympic mastery (as well as all the esoteric knowledge and studying required to become the world’s greatest detective) and thus be able to save the universe when asked, despite no one else doing this? Like the only thing stopping people in the D.C universe from becoming Batman is because Bruce Wayne has more money than most people?a
Yes, he is the only billionaire.
I’m pretty sure most of the time the Justice League saved the world it’s not because they were just giving the military a break.
Except in DC most groups can’t stop threats like Darkseid. There’s a reason the top group is the Justice League and a reason Batman is one of the founding members.
If you’re theory held, there should be all sorts of justice leagues etc.
I always wonder what social service is going to stop Darkseid etc.
I’m not talking about the suburbs. I live by Commercial drive, I have neighbours with backyard chickens.
Edit: For those who don’t know Vancouver, Commercial drive is about a 15 minute bike ride from the heart of downtown.
Sure but the point is that there isn’t a disease sweeping through cattle herds killing most of them etc.
Which is happening to flocks of birds, including poultry.
We have a lot of backyard chicken farms in Vancouver.
There isn’t a massive bovine flu killing huge swathes of flocks…
I was so confused, thank you for explaining.
The delightful irony is that late last year, Chinese students started doing a big bicycle ride from Zhengzhou to Kaifeng for dumplings. Too many young folks together gets Chinese officials nervous so the authorities shut it down.
So, master of your own time if the party approves of how you spend said time.
Except most people aren’t buying second hand, so you’re complaining about a non-existent problem.
Edit: As an amazing proof of concept, I’m in a dive bar, saw a pair of gloves in a wicker basket of lost and found and asked about them. The bartender gave them to me, notinf they’d been here for more than a year. These are easily several hundred dollar gloves.
But if things really got to the point where many people were willing to buy second hand, there are in fact ethical brands as well for those who need new. Myself, I buy few things but as much as I can ethical either 2nd hand or from happy factories. (Though, goddamn I cannot find ethical boxers for a semi reasonable price. If you got tips…)
Thanks!
