I have been trying to find this park bench setting again for months.

Thank you elecplus!

Citizens United violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president.
So now we’ve just seen a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and expect and sometimes get favors for themselves after the election’s over.”
- Jimmy Carter 2015

There's some clever ideas in that post, but some downright weird things too!
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

My friend has a couple of those in his loft and they're actually pretty badass even if unsuited for long periods of sitting.

I'd buy the "save" coin jar.

Would beat the jar full of coins on my desk with "college fund" written on it.

I'd take a pair those keyboard outsole shoes if I ever found a pair in my size (and that looked like shoes I would wear).
  Quoting me causes a posting error that you need to ignore.
