ICE MAKER
Infinite ice whenever you want, uh, yes, add to cart
Even KINGS never knew such luxury…
Private Jet. Not because I want to live like a billionaire but because I friggin hate going through TSA and lately every time I travel the airlines seem to have little value-add over just driving.
TSA Precheck. Yes, it’s borderline extortion but it really is a LOT faster and more stress free at major hubs.
I’m already waiting for my interview. But it’s more than that. It’s having to go through it at all. It’s their treatment of people. It’s the super spreader event that is an aircraft and an airport. It’s the treatment of people by the airlines and the whole schedule thing. It’s dealing with other passengers. I live in Florida, yup the crazy one. In the last four flights I’ve taken it took 20 hours to get home from Canada, 36 hours to get home from Tennessee and 15 hours to get home from Colorado. I mean WTF!
I took a private airplane once and I parked for free at Signature services, walked into a, large mostly empty lobby area with free cookies and got on the plane. When I got back, the crew, and I swear I’m not making it up, actually brought out a red carpet. It was ridiculously short, like 2 feet, with a ridiculously short velvet rope to match it. I walked through the same lobby, grabbed a cookie and hopped in my car and went home. That was it. Friggin fantastic. I do admit this was prior to 9/11. Since I’m not privy to such treatment normally I’ve never taken another private flight so I don’t know how much has changed. But THAT’S the way to travel… unless the OP meant something like a teleporter instead.
Also I’m not sure it’s borderline extortion. Feels like flat out extortion, but I see your point.
Bread maker. Fresh bread all the time with minimal effort. Takes too much space and isn’t worth the spend
Proper espresso bar with a good grinder, machine, and all the meme accessories
Don’t let your memes be dreams. I have a budget set up and definitely make better espresso than most cafes.
Once you get good at it at home, it gets hard to justify buying coffee out, ever. Paying like $6 USD for something you can make better at home.
That’s actually pretty attainable!
A house
I have a house. But it’s old and decaying. I want a well-engineered, modern house with great interior design and lots of space. I want to be able to put the couch in the center of the room instead of putting it up against a wall.
I see the confusion here. Your mixing well engineered with modern.
I see houses all the time that are brand new construction or within the last 10 to 15 years perhaps all the way back to 08. The materials used are not what they used to be, regulations have gotten tighter and to cut costs contractors are building lesser quality homes. Everything creaks, is loose, cheap particle board and cheap plywood.
There is very little pride in craftsmanship in Contrustion, Contractor Work. Raw materials are of weaker quality and higher cost. If anyone is looking for quality housing look for pre 2008 homes. While this isn’t a blanket statement, it covers 80 percent or more of modern housing that isn’t concrete.
No I’m not confused about that. I have seen the problems you talk about. That’s why I felt the need to qualify modern with “well engineered”.
My house is 1982 and my couch is in the center of the room hell yeah
Soda machine
That’s not a luxury, it’s free.
Get a dog, you big lovable jerk.
I love the conditional love of my kibby. Conditional love is great when the conditions are easy to fulfill.
1: feed me
2: water me
3: scoop my poops
4: love me, but not too much
There are certain 12" records which despite only having one it two songs in them go for ludicrous prices, in the hundreds. I’d quite like to have those please.
Ah, I see you have a Samsung refrigerator.
My Thermador is no different, shitty ice maker.
The Nintendo Switch 2.
I can’t say, it’s too absurd.
Please say
Infinite money printer, obviously.
Jerome?
A well designed back yard with a gardener to help keep it nice and tidy. I fucking love flowers and landscaping, but I just can’t do it myself.
there is a pocket star trek novel i can’t find a physical copy for less than 100 US dollars called “a stitch in time”. for some reason they won’t reprint it (they released an audiobook recently but i don’t personally like reading books that are not physical paper books).
TIL those are out of print and valuable. Most of mine were ex-library copies bought for 50¢ each. I guess I should have kept getting them more diligently, since it sounds like now it would be difficult for me to complete my collection.
Yea I bought it on a whim when it came out cause I love DS9 and Garak. I’ve seen them as high as 200. Its crazy.
Yeah, my copy is in decent condition, and I’ve had offers of 200 for it.
Alas, I’m a giant geek and refuse to sell it
Keep an eye out at thrift shops-- I’ve seen huge tranches of Star Trek novels.
Upvoted just because I’ve been meaning to look up the definition of tranche and you reminded me. Thank you. :)
Rule of Acquisition #3: Never spend more on an acquisition than you have to
Ugh me too!
