I feel that. I'm currently using a laptop from like 2017 (with a 1050) and honestly... if it dies, I'm pretty well hosed.

See, that's real prep, not buying 2,000 cans of beans and 20k in ammo :D

I can't afford to get any real last-minute stuff, unfortunately. What I did do was stock up on rice and the spices that I largely use, and got some new shoes from walmart earlier than I normally would.

I put off the things I had been saving for (like a vero v), canceled everything but my basic phone service, and I'll be seeing how much stuff I can get by with repairing/cobbling.

What's sad is that the billionaires who control the only grocery options for 90 miles will be getting a LOT more of my income, and the small businesses (music stores, thrift stores, things like that) will be getting left. Thereby amplifying the wealth extraction already happening.

F this, and f everyone who voted for it.

Mirrors my experience. Nice article.

One person's tasteless is another person's nifty :D I specifically seek out neat colored vinyl, since for me they're mostly collectibles.

Good album, and so topical

When I saw them on tour with Slayer, there were no real lines for their shirts at the start, but by the end of the show they were almost entirely sold out. They made a lot of fans that day.

The rowing was fun, and I loved that set!

TBF, Target largely brought this on themselves before the DEI stuff. They're more expensive here than a proper dept store, and everything is locked in plastic and takes forever to get.

Can't boycott what I already wasn't using.
