I hate it so much, the anxiety of not understanding the overview of what you are reading abut, the subsequent decisions, the pauses bcs your brainhole just gave out & needed some recharging time, etc.
I think it's got to be like once you've donated, it's in the system and you're just another borrower.
Maybe there should be a cooling off period for any items over a certain value where you can get it back if you regret donating. But stuff like pens and glitter isn't going to be worth the bother of tracking that sort of thing.
I spent way too much money on a pen. At least I use it to take notes.
Looking at you new microcontroller that I haven't even got the ide working for and am already kind of over it
You have to go through a cooldown before you can list something again, to make sure you've really thought about it. Either that or it lets you think you've listed something, but doesn't actually list it for a couple of days to make sure you're serious.
I think there could be a box that you check, where another person linked to your account signs off on it. That way you can list it, and then when they think you're renewed interest has died again, it really gets listed.
There should be a contract that you get the tools but you also get the last unfinshed project. This way, hopefully we may all collectively finish a project
There's no way a neurotypical figured out that the stars rotate in predictable patterns in the sky that correlate with the changes in seasons and can be used to time crop planting. Also, that guy probably had a cave full of star drawings and was fed by the tribe because he routinely forgot to eat.
This used to exist on Reddit. I believe it was ADHDbay. The trouble is it probably needs to be modded by a neurotypical. I know I could only do it for a short time and then get bored and move on.
Another idea: have 'lending libraries' for hobbies. Leave your art supplies and check out a keyboard and a Ukulele. Donate leather-working tools and while you are there you can use the 3D printer. Kind of like a cross between a maker space and a book library.
Smaller libraries might be able to combine the two ideas. I know you used to be able to check out video cameras and AV equipment before everybody phone did that at my library.
This way creative people in the community who otherwise couldn't afford to express themselves could have access to the tools to do so. I could make more room in my house by donating the art supplies to people who I know will use it... at least until they get bored of that and want to try something else.
I could see people holding classes there in how to use the tools properly, or even just hanging out to give advice to people who want it.
Tell that to the guy who drives a 3 ton pickup truck to work every day, because of that one time 4 years ago he had to transport a fridge rather than pay £20 to have it delivered.
I've been thinking for years now about the idea of opening up a "neighbourhood kitchen." I would prepare and provide all sorts of common ingredients, as well as cooking tools. People could come in and use what they want, maybe paying a membership fee plus used consumables. The most annoying parts of cooking are gathering the ingredients and cleaning up, these would be done for you.
No, see I’m going to get back to needle felting!
I’m just figure drawing, building battle bots and 3d modelling for a bit. Then I’ll get back to it and I’ll need all my stuff!
This is the gift economy. See if your local community has a free store, mutual aid society, or buy nothing network. My wife is about to go swap about twenty pounds of vintage glassware she's no longer interested in collecting for boardgames, pastries, and future favors.
Mainly I was saying that there's nothing like that around here.
But since you asked, both. I want nothing to do with them. They're not good people. They have no interest in being good people. They want to push their shitty religion into everything and hurt everyone that's different from them. I want to exclude them from any and every aspect of society I can so they end up being treated like the second class citizens they think all the various minorities and women deserve to be.
I hyperfixate on research to find the best price/performance fpr my use case and then either forget, abandon or maybe follow through with it.
Last research (but only very minor): Ayn Thor to emulate Nintendo DS with an actual clam-shell dual screen setup.
Usecase: Pokemon Plat (or Diamond) and Dr. Kawashima would be prime material.
But it would be capable of playing less-demanding switch titles.
Currently waiting because of cost and quality of hardware. But it looks promising (believe it was 400€ in total)
I like this because it’s also practical (and that Thor looks pretty sweet btw). What I’ll do is create a spreadsheet of all the classes I would need to take and in what sequence in order to get into medical school, even though I have literally zero intention of ever doing so.
oh yeah for sure I don't think it's a bad fit for your use case tbh just wanted to share my personal hangups.
i really wanna play diamond/pearl (my OG) but really cba with the two screens smooshed into one on my retroid pocket flip 2 but I didn't even consider it for steamdeck ... that doesn't sound terrible w how big the screen is
considered the remake/remaster/whatever for the switch and could cope w the much less cool gfx but last I looked into it it didn't emulate well
Literally every time I've finally been like "okay I'm really never going to use this" and get rid of something. A situation will come up in the next few months where I'm like "welp, this would have been perfect for that thing I threw out".
Same, anytime someone in my circle has a tech problem I usually have a part on hand to get them back up and running again or use while they order a replacement.
If it will make you happy and won't break the bank, do it bro! I just bought a 3rd and 4th gaming computer because it was too good a deal/upgrade to pass up and you know what, that $450 will not only come back, but I am going to get so much more joy from a 3080/5900x rig than the money in my account made me
Some old dude put a better than mine computer for sale at a silly price, when I got there he had a second older system he didn't want. Now I have to decide what case to put the best parts in, build out my current spare for a friend, and start getting used to Linux on the old one. And my second computer runs the TV in my bedroom.
I bought mine in 2016 and it took me weeks to get it dialed in where I could actually make shit with it. My brother bought one like 3 years ago and had it up and running that night. He paid like half as much as I did for mine as well. Crazy how much things have improved. Although it does seem like some vendors are trying to get people locked into proprietary bullshit so you have to watch for that.
I sealed them in some vacuum clothes bags with a silica gel pack but i wouldn't count on that to keep them good for the last 5 years XD i also got a food dehydrator last year so i could bring them back i think.
I had a Ender V1 and a V2 as well. I really want a bamboo, but I saw they are locking things down and making it more difficult on tinkerer. I haven't been in the 3D printer game since 2020.
There will be a successor, there always is. And new high-resolution monochrome resin printers are more and more affordable all the time... Getting into resin printing is almost as tempting as my spouse's "no" is firm.
"Hey uhm i know we just swapped like 30 minutes ago but I've suddenly got the energy and desire to dedicate 50 hours a week into that hobby again, could we swap back?"
Not necessarily. Some economists say this (on a large scale) would even lead to greater wealth in the population. However, it would destroy capitalism pretty quickly.
I was taught for tools or equipment always buy the cheapest you can find. If you use it enough and for long enough that it breaks or is not good enough then splurge and get the quality version. Like if you get into drawing buy that $15 pencil kit...in a month or 2 if you find you want to continue with drawing but you need better pencils then go out and buy the 50 or 100 dollar version. At that point you will know you want to continue drawing and you have enough foundational knowledge to know what is important and what is pure marketing.
depends on the hobby, for a lot of software stuff having good hardware can be a strong motivator or needed for progress, and a lot of hobbies have no cheap entrypoint, like drones are very expensive im avoiding that
I think you are wrong. You can buy very cheap drones, I bought one about a decade ago for about 50 dollars. Now the nice ones with GPS and cameras and fpv capabilities yes they are expensive. But that's the point... Buy the cheap one, if you enjoy flying it next month enough to justify spending that to get a fancy one consider it.
For today buy the 50 dollar one, the regret will be alot less than the 2000 dollar one...
when ppl talk about drones as a hobby its the ones you build and race or do tricks with that will 100% break and need to be replaced, or photography ones which are also expensive, anything cheap is a toy for beginners or ppl just testing waters
Exactly... Buy the beginner one, later if you still like it buy the expensive one. If you move to lawn mowers you only spent the cost of the beginner one
I disagree, gimmicky toys will turn you away from
hobbies you might enjoy, cardboard made me think vr was a trash gimmick, trying a quest made me like it, bought my own, cheaping out made me assume vr was ass so I never bought a rift when I had the hardware to use it
Not with drones, that's specifically an exception just google and use reddit for 5 seconds "should I buy a cheap drone" I had one they suck, no battery life even with swapping it sucks, they cant fly for shit, they also break easily. The hobby isnt flying shitty toys its building and flying actual fast ones, that can actually fly and arent a cheap gimmick for kids to play with for 5 minutes.
I re-purpose sooo many things, and use so much random crap for projects when my budget won't allow completing them, but frankensteining my backlog will.
But yes, same here actually, I don't really outgrow stuff I like (or the other way around - never "like" stuff I see myself outgrowing ... maybe I just don't allow myself to live ... sometimes I won't get into things I know I'm not capable of supporting either mentally or financially).
If you're alright with paying Goodwill prices instead of free swaps, this is basically what a creative reuse store is if you want to search for one near you. I've got so much craft stuff on the cheap from the one near me.
Well since you put it that way, my hobby is sensible. But then you reminded me of my other hobby of keeping every electronic device I've ever owned, along with wires, chords and ac adapters I don't even remember what they go to. Together we're like the e-waste little mermaid!
I feel the need for this in my bones, but right now I'm probably a bad candidate for it.
Sure I have a 3D printer still in the box that's worth a couple hundred bucks, but that is still gonna happen because it's a father & son interest. But my photography equipment, and now after this year my collection of power tools, are both fairly valuable and those hobbies are a significant part of my life.
You'd need to have the business be the arbitar in shipping so if one ships and the other doesn't ship in a given time the more functional one gets their stuff back and a refund. The nonshipper pays a fee to the business equivalent to the cost of if they had shipped their item.
I bet you could have the business collect the shipping in advance actually, split evenly between parties, and then email expiring labels that would get the packages to the business site and await the partner package. Once both packages are confirmed, they get new labels pushing them to their new homes.
Ha like I could just give away something so precious like hooby supplies used once. Sacred idols
As long as I hang onto it I can convince myself that I might pick it back up at some point. To give it away is to admit defeat.
Used once? What are you made of, free time? I just like to buy it and dream of the day I will use it.
Make sure to take it out of the box, so you know it's hobby gear and not just a collectible.
This is why I had to uninstall Steam from my gaming rig.
Who the hell has time to dream anymore? Must be nice just sitting around on your brains all day!
Me, refusing to uninstall games in my backlog I haven't even launched once yet.
My pi3 retro build (I'm talking cabinet, USB NES controllers, ALL them games. From all the regions) will age like fine wine.
But researching and shopping is an essential part of the dopamining
I hate it so much, the anxiety of not understanding the overview of what you are reading abut, the subsequent decisions, the pauses bcs your brainhole just gave out & needed some recharging time, etc.
... wait, did I say 'hate'??
Researching and shopping is almost always what puts an end to the interest for me.
Oh god that word is so brilliant it gave me goosebumps and ASMR or whatever chills over my lower back and ass. Mmmm
You take back this AssSMR image you put in my head!
That's kinda like shopping too. Just that second hand is better for the environment, doesn't waste resources & doesn't waste labour.
Now to hyperfixate on finding the best adhd buddy to trade with.
So, whats the protocol when someone lists something, and then immediately they're interested again because they listed it?
(I watched my ex go through this cycle so many fucking times)
I think it's got to be like once you've donated, it's in the system and you're just another borrower.
Maybe there should be a cooling off period for any items over a certain value where you can get it back if you regret donating. But stuff like pens and glitter isn't going to be worth the bother of tracking that sort of thing.
I spent way too much money on a pen. At least I use it to take notes.
Looking at you new microcontroller that I haven't even got the ide working for and am already kind of over it
Yeah, you'd probably better keep that
Are we talking entry level Twsbi eco, or a $1000 Pilot Custom Urushi?
$100 Metal bodied kaweco.
Very nice
You have to go through a cooldown before you can list something again, to make sure you've really thought about it. Either that or it lets you think you've listed something, but doesn't actually list it for a couple of days to make sure you're serious.
Look, I said I was sorry! What do you want from me!?!
I think there could be a box that you check, where another person linked to your account signs off on it. That way you can list it, and then when they think you're renewed interest has died again, it really gets listed.
I also go in cycles. And it's great. I get to use my stuff and skills. I don't buy that much anyways.
There should be a contract that you get the tools but you also get the last unfinshed project. This way, hopefully we may all collectively finish a project
There's no way a neurotypical figured out that the stars rotate in predictable patterns in the sky that correlate with the changes in seasons and can be used to time crop planting. Also, that guy probably had a cave full of star drawings and was fed by the tribe because he routinely forgot to eat.
So, in other words, a decentralized "Library Economy" or "Sharing Economy". Very Solarpunk. 😇
Around Seattle we got tool libraries, I don't see how this would be that different
We would crash the economy
2 birds 1 stone
--> Ornithology hobbyist swapping stuff with geology hobbyist.
We would correct the economy
This is pretty much what swap meets (aka flea markets) are for.
But for real though. At least some of that furniture they sell will give you fleas.
Yeah was just about to say this is just Facebook Marketplace, or Craigslist.
You've gone even older.
There's a fediverse project for that: Flohmarkt
List of flohmarkt instances
This used to exist on Reddit. I believe it was ADHDbay. The trouble is it probably needs to be modded by a neurotypical. I know I could only do it for a short time and then get bored and move on.
You just swap the moderation hobby when you're bored of it and someone else takes up the mantle
Isn't that basically a makerspace?
Sounds like communism, better stamp that out immediately.
Another idea: have 'lending libraries' for hobbies. Leave your art supplies and check out a keyboard and a Ukulele. Donate leather-working tools and while you are there you can use the 3D printer. Kind of like a cross between a maker space and a book library.

I could see people holding classes there in how to use the tools properly, or even just hanging out to give advice to people who want it.
Libraries in the US and Germany and the UK do that right now. Other countries too probably but I only know of those three
But seriously library economy, guys. There’s no reason for every house in your neighbourhood to own a jigsaw, or even leaf blower.
Tell that to the guy who drives a 3 ton pickup truck to work every day, because of that one time 4 years ago he had to transport a fridge rather than pay £20 to have it delivered.
"That's socialism though..." Shut the fuck up becky, we know.
I've been thinking for years now about the idea of opening up a "neighbourhood kitchen." I would prepare and provide all sorts of common ingredients, as well as cooking tools. People could come in and use what they want, maybe paying a membership fee plus used consumables. The most annoying parts of cooking are gathering the ingredients and cleaning up, these would be done for you.
Sounds like communism to me. Better not say that too loud.
This actually is a good idea
No, see I’m going to get back to needle felting! I’m just figure drawing, building battle bots and 3d modelling for a bit. Then I’ll get back to it and I’ll need all my stuff!
No rush. I can wait another decade for your needle felting gear. I'll get around to organizing my pic collection in the meantime
This is the gift economy. See if your local community has a free store, mutual aid society, or buy nothing network. My wife is about to go swap about twenty pounds of vintage glassware she's no longer interested in collecting for boardgames, pastries, and future favors.
My local community is composed entirely of maga assholes
Are you saying you wouldn't want to mutually support them? Or that they won't want to mutually support you?
Because if it's the former, forming stronger community ties is one of the first steps in deradicalization.
Mainly I was saying that there's nothing like that around here.
But since you asked, both. I want nothing to do with them. They're not good people. They have no interest in being good people. They want to push their shitty religion into everything and hurt everyone that's different from them. I want to exclude them from any and every aspect of society I can so they end up being treated like the second class citizens they think all the various minorities and women deserve to be.
All aboard the Hobby Train! Chooo Choo!
Y’all are buying stuff??
I hyperfixate on research to find the best price/performance fpr my use case and then either forget, abandon or maybe follow through with it.

Not something I'd choose to research but everyones different :)
Hope you stay high on your dopamine and your future research endeavours!
none of the DS emulators impress me enough to consider yet mainly bc of the touchscreen lag/no hard stylus
probably wouldn't be impactful for pokemon but in DS games that heavily use the touchscreen it's pretty noticeable
As I've only tried melonDS so far on a SteamDeck touchscreen with my finger, I can't say much about responsiveness (not easy to slide on the screen).
But I'll try and see how to works. Thanks for info.
When it's as you described, I have at least a more portable pokemon Emulator than my steamdeck.
oh yeah for sure I don't think it's a bad fit for your use case tbh just wanted to share my personal hangups.
i really wanna play diamond/pearl (my OG) but really cba with the two screens smooshed into one on my retroid pocket flip 2 but I didn't even consider it for steamdeck ... that doesn't sound terrible w how big the screen is
considered the remake/remaster/whatever for the switch and could cope w the much less cool gfx but last I looked into it it didn't emulate well
I play the brilliant diamond on my steamdeck (and pc) with yuzu and synced saves (syncthing) across both devices.
Honestly it's amazing.
Same for melonDS.
Btw regarding responsiveness: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Kt3GezkZeR4 (Timestamp: 16:14) for a demo at how responsive the emulator is on the ayn thor.
Man, I'm glad my hobbies only require a computer.
I might still have a use for my box of woodcarving tools someday. Maybe.
Literally every time I've finally been like "okay I'm really never going to use this" and get rid of something. A situation will come up in the next few months where I'm like "welp, this would have been perfect for that thing I threw out".
This. I have a few boxes of random tech shit. I am always going through them for various cables, dongles, or whatever. At least a few times a month.
Same, anytime someone in my circle has a tech problem I usually have a part on hand to get them back up and running again or use while they order a replacement.
I was super into 3D printing and sold and gave away everything. Now I miss it and fighting my urge to buy another printer.
If it will make you happy and won't break the bank, do it bro! I just bought a 3rd and 4th gaming computer because it was too good a deal/upgrade to pass up and you know what, that $450 will not only come back, but I am going to get so much more joy from a 3080/5900x rig than the money in my account made me
Just, uh, just curious what happened to the 1st and second. And the third? Or do you use two at once?
In my experience my 4th consumed the internals of 1-3
Yep
You guys know you can just upgrade the components right?
I can't upgrade the hard drives my stuff is stored on.
So it just gathers more and more SATA connections as it ages.
Some old dude put a better than mine computer for sale at a silly price, when I got there he had a second older system he didn't want. Now I have to decide what case to put the best parts in, build out my current spare for a friend, and start getting used to Linux on the old one. And my second computer runs the TV in my bedroom.
Damn. I need to keep my eyes peeled for a deal like that. My current computer has parts almost old enough to vote.
My printer broke like 5 years ago and i still have so many rolls of material...
Thats when I exited 3D printing. Looks like so many new and better printers now.
I bought mine in 2016 and it took me weeks to get it dialed in where I could actually make shit with it. My brother bought one like 3 years ago and had it up and running that night. He paid like half as much as I did for mine as well. Crazy how much things have improved. Although it does seem like some vendors are trying to get people locked into proprietary bullshit so you have to watch for that.
Ya, I think I will pick up a multi color enclosed printer eventually.
So don't use those unless they are still sealed. Otherwise you'll end up with dry spaghetti everywhere when you drop it
I sealed them in some vacuum clothes bags with a silica gel pack but i wouldn't count on that to keep them good for the last 5 years XD i also got a food dehydrator last year so i could bring them back i think.
Depending on how much time has passed, your old gear might have been outdated anyway, so many new shinies.
sighs at old semi-abandoned Ender3 v1 in need of tinkering
eyes all the new reasonably priced multi-filament or resin printers
I had a Ender V1 and a V2 as well. I really want a bamboo, but I saw they are locking things down and making it more difficult on tinkerer. I haven't been in the 3D printer game since 2020.
There will be a successor, there always is. And new high-resolution monochrome resin printers are more and more affordable all the time... Getting into resin printing is almost as tempting as my spouse's "no" is firm.
If it wasn't for the fumes, I would. But I have kids now so it's not a good idea.
look. I'm really going to use these domains I pay good money for every month
You pay monthly?
Library
I have debated giving hobbies away, but I may be interested in it again in 3 to 6 months.
"Hey uhm i know we just swapped like 30 minutes ago but I've suddenly got the energy and desire to dedicate 50 hours a week into that hobby again, could we swap back?"
Those stay in the closet until I'm ready to come back to that hobby
Lucky you, my closet's full.. .as is my room, garage, and 'work' room.
Keep cooking!
But evaluating the equipment is the best part of it. I want to use what I think is best for me, not someone else!
Arghh! I thought this ides was perfect.
Build on each other's research! There's way too much information for any single person to collect and synthesize.
But who would take over the website when I get bored?
I would use the fuck outta something like that. "HobbySwap"
What if this was the original inspiration for Craigslist?
But I'm gonna loop back around to that hobby soon.
This may destroy
the economycapitalism faster than AI couldNot necessarily. Some economists say this (on a large scale) would even lead to greater wealth in the population. However, it would destroy capitalism pretty quickly.
You’re right—I fixed my previous comment
Thats dumb, they always come back, I don't sell my stuff, I always end up reusing it or getting back into it
I also try to go as cheap/free as possible, chasing good deals is a hoby
I was taught for tools or equipment always buy the cheapest you can find. If you use it enough and for long enough that it breaks or is not good enough then splurge and get the quality version. Like if you get into drawing buy that $15 pencil kit...in a month or 2 if you find you want to continue with drawing but you need better pencils then go out and buy the 50 or 100 dollar version. At that point you will know you want to continue drawing and you have enough foundational knowledge to know what is important and what is pure marketing.
Instructions unclear. I now own 1 of everything from Harbor Freight.
Now if you need a torque wrench you have one. If you need one enough that it breaks, buy one from Mac tools or snap on.
I actually do have a torque wrench from harbor freight lol.
depends on the hobby, for a lot of software stuff having good hardware can be a strong motivator or needed for progress, and a lot of hobbies have no cheap entrypoint, like drones are very expensive im avoiding that
I think you are wrong. You can buy very cheap drones, I bought one about a decade ago for about 50 dollars. Now the nice ones with GPS and cameras and fpv capabilities yes they are expensive. But that's the point... Buy the cheap one, if you enjoy flying it next month enough to justify spending that to get a fancy one consider it.
For today buy the 50 dollar one, the regret will be alot less than the 2000 dollar one...
when ppl talk about drones as a hobby its the ones you build and race or do tricks with that will 100% break and need to be replaced, or photography ones which are also expensive, anything cheap is a toy for beginners or ppl just testing waters
Exactly... Buy the beginner one, later if you still like it buy the expensive one. If you move to lawn mowers you only spent the cost of the beginner one
I disagree, gimmicky toys will turn you away from hobbies you might enjoy, cardboard made me think vr was a trash gimmick, trying a quest made me like it, bought my own, cheaping out made me assume vr was ass so I never bought a rift when I had the hardware to use it
last I looked into it actual fun fpv drones arent cheap, I dont see, transmitter alone over 50$?
Completely true... I'm not saying they are that cheap. I'm saying bare minimum basic drone with no camera just ability to hover
those will turn ppl away from the hobby because they are nothing like actual drones, like racing a prius, its antifun to drive
I spent a good amount of time researching reddit recentlly, def not that cheap to get into and the costs dont go away
Correct, but the whole point is to buy cheap and only buy the expensive / fancy stuff if you still like it later and find it's worth the expense.
Cheaping out early is a nice way to turn you away from any hobby
Not with drones, that's specifically an exception just google and use reddit for 5 seconds "should I buy a cheap drone" I had one they suck, no battery life even with swapping it sucks, they cant fly for shit, they also break easily. The hobby isnt flying shitty toys its building and flying actual fast ones, that can actually fly and arent a cheap gimmick for kids to play with for 5 minutes.
And I mentioned earlier, I always return to my hobbies the issue op has does not apply to me
Omg, the amount of time (and basically labour) on the second-hand market either for financial or ethical (less trash) reasons.
I re-purpose sooo many things, and use so much random crap for projects when my budget won't allow completing them, but frankensteining my backlog will.
But yes, same here actually, I don't really outgrow stuff I like (or the other way around - never "like" stuff I see myself outgrowing ... maybe I just don't allow myself to live ... sometimes I won't get into things I know I'm not capable of supporting either mentally or financially).
This would be good against overconsumption too!
It's called leasing
Remember what?
This is a really good idea
Genius!
If you're alright with paying Goodwill prices instead of free swaps, this is basically what a creative reuse store is if you want to search for one near you. I've got so much craft stuff on the cheap from the one near me.
Basically amateur/ham radio.
Oh, that reminds me, I've got a milk crate full of old ham radio stuff. I should get my license and see if any of it still works...
You can hook all of it up and do receive only while you are preparing for your exam. Once you get your license enjoy the fruits of your labor!
Getting setup, turned on, and receiving is 70% of the work.
Except to would have swappers remorse and almost immediately become super interested in the hobby again.
What if my hobby is buying craft supplies?
Well since you put it that way, my hobby is sensible. But then you reminded me of my other hobby of keeping every electronic device I've ever owned, along with wires, chords and ac adapters I don't even remember what they go to. Together we're like the e-waste little mermaid!
Capitalism if it was actually driven by demand.
Epic idea
Fun fact, the oven I use to make my cosmetics was recently recalled.
I feel the need for this in my bones, but right now I'm probably a bad candidate for it.
Sure I have a 3D printer still in the box that's worth a couple hundred bucks, but that is still gonna happen because it's a father & son interest. But my photography equipment, and now after this year my collection of power tools, are both fairly valuable and those hobbies are a significant part of my life.
You'd need to have the business be the arbitar in shipping so if one ships and the other doesn't ship in a given time the more functional one gets their stuff back and a refund. The nonshipper pays a fee to the business equivalent to the cost of if they had shipped their item.
I bet you could have the business collect the shipping in advance actually, split evenly between parties, and then email expiring labels that would get the packages to the business site and await the partner package. Once both packages are confirmed, they get new labels pushing them to their new homes.
Got too many PCs, like optiplex small/medium ones. Can live without 4-5 I guess. Two tiny m710 (I upgraded them to m910q ^^) one with the famous cd.
What would you (imaginary) trade with me?
🙏
What if ADHD was caused by a chemical put in the food and water to sell more junk and boost the profit over people hellhole capitalism first economy?
