To paraphrase Churchill -- Indeed, it has been said that capitalism is the worst form of economic system except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.
(I had an extended conversation with @freemo on this topic last year sometime, but I can't find the thread at the moment)
I have a theory that all actions in this world arise from nose boops. All boops kick off a chain of butterfly effect events that ultimately leads to all major and minor world and personal events.
You may ask yourself then, arent nose boops themselves an action. Well curious reader you are correct, nose boops lead to other nose boops and the circle of life goes on. So the real question is, what caused the first nose boop... god thats what. He booped the first premordial nose and in an instant all of time, space, and life flashed into existance.
I pitched my theory to scientists but they rejected it, must have been a bit to on the nose.
Seriously, you can put something from an RF/microwave book directly into Full Metal Alchemist, and nobody will believe it's a real thing. #electronics
free sewing machine, probably broken
So I've got a Singer 834 #sewing machine that I would gladly give away. It broke down yesterday again and I expect I could fix it again, but I am kind of tired of this happening so often, so I want to get a more reliable one.
The thing that is broken is the spinny thing that is supposed to tangle the lower thread with the upper (as you can see I'm clearly a professional who knows all the terms) -- it isn't properly synchronized with the needle. I suspect you want it only if you like tinkering with such devices or you want it for parts.
I can send it anywhere from Switzerland, but if the postal costs are too high I might ask you to chip in.

The company im consulting for right now has a salt water fish tank and has this little guy (a Murray Eel) in the tank. What a cutie.
Pro tip: when crossing the border into israel and they ask "do you have any weapons on you" dont reply "just these guns" as you flex your biceps... On an unrelated note i spent 2.5 hours being drilled by israli border control before letting me through.
I must not have learned my lesson cause on my way out when they asked if i had anything to declare i responded "Yea, that im a sexy mother fucker" while girating my ass..
I recorded my walk across the africa/asia border to save the moment. Turns out it took me a long time because border control thought i was suspicious, they took me in a back room and everything. After 2 and a half hours they finally let me through.
