  • My legs.

    But, if I was forced to choose, I’d go with an RV, and then live out of it. No in-between. Why?

    I have two preferred modes of living. One is without a car in a walkable area. The other is with a car, and my house is attached to the car. Everybody already gets walkable cities, but having an RV would warrant the freedom to be able to bring all of my possessions anywhere I want, whenever I want. For practicality, I’d use a motorbike for travelling after parking the RV. This is the only way I could own a motor vehicle–it must serve a purpose beyond merely moving a few people and objects between point A and point B. Else, I don’t want one.

    The only cars I’ve been at all interested in otherwise are old Honda Stepwgns, the Peel Trident, station wagons, and, indeed, motorcycles. Still see no point in these when a hypothetical RV would be much better for a solo road trip, and when I can go on a vacation via plane or another friend’s car. I’m not going out alone.

    I don’t like single-use items. I prefer everything I have be as multi-purpose as possible.

    EDIT: I should probably clarify I would live out of an RV. It’s not just a hypothetical alternative, it’s something I’m considering.





  • I bought/built a PC. It’s my first custom build, and my first personal Linux system. I’ve turned it into a sort of glorified Steam Deck with Bazzite. The specs are absolutely topped out, and it runs excellent. I got a nice keyboard to go with it (my first linear), and I’m very happy with the setup overall.

    Samsung 65" 4k120 OLED TV

    Ryzen 9 9950X

    Radeon RX 7900 XTX

    4TB SSD

    64GB RAM

    Corsair K100/Nightsword RGB

    FiiO K7 4.4mm -> Hifiman HE1000s

    The next big step is to get a Retrotink 4K, and get some retro consoles hooked up with a beautiful CRT filter. Essentially, I’ll turn the TV into a bigger, thinner and more versatile Trinitron, with all of the benefits and none of the downsides.

    All in the living room. It’s a killer social environment. Wait until the hookah comes…
