  @justalexoki The complicated ones that save water from Korea are pieces of crap. I live in Houston, we have more damn water than we know what to do with. But I have to buy appliances built for California because they are too stupid to manage their water. The expensive ones have computers and send you messages via WIFI and other worthless things but they don’t work well and the computers go on the fritz. I got flooded out of my house by Harvey and had FEMA insurance and bought all the fancy appliances. The dishwasher had a computer and fifty different settings but to save water and energy, it took forever to run a cycle, didn’t get the dishes clean, and ultimately just stopped working. Only appliance that is not a PIA is the dryer. And even the dryer is not as good as an old dryer that I bought off Craigslist for a pittance for a rental house that only has one control, a spring powered dial that you set by twisting the dial to the number of minutes of drying you need. When it runs down and turns off, you open the door and feel the clothes and if they aren’t dry enough, you crank it up for ten more minutes. Simple, effective, foolproof.

  @GregHBurnham I hate the gpt "reasonable/practical/useful/clean....safe" garbage. I get its use for safety, but it is so annoying as it makes the thinking paradigm soooo ngmi coated regardless of scope/topic. Like they are really good at finding potential failure modes and problems. However, it treats it as an immovable object and execuse to downscope whatever the prompt entails. For example, i asked it to retrieve and store info from a Wikipedia page that need formatting in an md file: 3 turns arguing that the page is inaccessible as the python environment it has has "no direct wikipedia to md tool" and i had to tell it which tools to do. 2 turns arguing about how the file size is large and content being long to be displayed inline, thus it won't attempt it and it provided a" cleaner script for you to run on your machine". And some turns to get it to do basic data processing as it kept falling beck to try to "verify from online" if the generated processing was accurate or not and when it couldn't it just stops to tell me it didn't do any work because of that, fyi, the data in question was simply <100 rows and the processing is just getting median and mean of the entries for some wc stuff. So not a sophisticated LHC calibration and testing data. Fallback to certainty is ok. The issie is it also happens on another end. Like I asked it (codex here) to view craigslist ads for some housing and so and filter based on some criteria. For some reason, it felt like it needed smoke tests, ledgers, evidence packets, and deployment pipeline with robust standard, which wasted the token limit for an incomplete final output. You would ask for "find me good shoes to use for hiking XYZ mountain" it will tunnle vision to shoes exciplicitly associated with mt XYZ, if not found, it starts to downscope to regular shoes. Where if it had only looked for hiking shoes then eliminated due to to XYZ specifics.

  @Thedude69750960 @bradleyryder @Cryptoboyy_Aji I did NOT have a "chance." I clawed success out of the rocky ******* ground. People make their own "chance." My fiancé and I rented an in-law quarters for $500 a month. It was ONE ROOM! So we slept and crapped right next to the kitchen. We had my pickup and a banged up scooter we got off Craigslist. Most times we took the scooter. Fun times. My fiancé waited tables and I taught piano lessons afternoons and nights, which paid the bills but still didn't offer much to save. So I went to a hard money lender (which means an exhorbitant interest rate and one year to pay it back - or you get your shins broken. But no credit check.) and bought wrecked houses, fixed them up, and flipped them. It was grueling work which cost me blood, sleep, and in the end a f'd up back. But we saved enough to buy our OWN wrecked house and fixed it up. Again grueling. We had to use the gas station bathroom for a months while we rebuilt the plumbing in the "new" house. Eventually, we started a new business and phased out the piano lessons and waitressing. Now we have four kids, and life is golden. Opportunity doesn't just fall in your lap. You have to fight and claw and dig for it. But it hurts. It's much less painful to sit around making lousy excuses.

If I try to haggle the price of the bike I found on craigslist down 20 bucks I'm being manipulative by definition but I'm not a predator. Manipulating people does not inherently make you a predator. Nobody uses the word like that

  There's a deli two blocks from my office. I've been going there for 12 years. I order the same thing every time. Turkey, provolone, lettuce, tomato, mustard, on rye. Today, the guy behind the counter looked at me. Guy: Can I ask you something? Me: Sure. Guy: Why do you always order this sandwich? Me: Because I like it. Guy: You're the only person who's ever ordered it. Me: What? Guy: In 30 years. You're the only one. Me: How is that possible? Guy: I don't know. But we keep rye bread in stock just for you. Me: Just for me? Guy: Yeah. I didn't know what to say. Me: I can order something else. Guy: No. Don't. We like the consistency. Now I feel obligated to order it forever. --- ## 9. A guy on Craigslist paid me $40 to attend his improv show and heckle him. It went horribly wrong. I needed $40. I saw an ad on Craigslist. "Need someone to heckle me during my improv show. $40. Must be loud." I responded. The guy, Tyler, called me. Tyler: You comfortable yelling in public? Me: Sure. Tyler: Great. Just show up. Sit in the back. When I point at you, yell something mean. Me: Like what? Tyler: Doesn't matter. Just be loud. I showed up. Small theater. Maybe 30 people. Tyler's improv group performed. Fifteen minutes in, Tyler pointed at me. I yelled: You suck! The audience laughed. Tyler: Oh yeah? You think you can do better? Me: Yeah! Tyler: Come up here then! I didn't expect that. Tyler: Come on! Let's see what you got! The audience started chanting. I walked on stage. Tyler handed me a prop. Tyler: You're a detective. I'm a criminal. Go. I froze. I had no idea what to do. Tyler: Come on, detective. Interrogate me. Me: Uh. Where were you on the night of... the thing? The audience laughed. Tyler: What thing? Me: The... crime thing. I was bombing. But people were laughing. Tyler: You're terrible at this! Me: I know! I stayed on stage for ten minutes. At the end, Tyler handed me $60. Tyler: You were hilarious. Me: I thought I was supposed to heckle you. Tyler: You were better as a participant. He asked me to come back next week. I said no. But I'm thinking about it.

  A brother living near my house bought a used iPhone on Craigslist for $300 cash. It looked brand new. It was completely factory reset. A week later, his camera flash turned on by itself in his dark bedroom. He thought it was just a software glitch. But it was so much worse.

  @PGC1a_RB I had a tire for a hammer swings in the backyard, but I don’t anymore. I will probably look on craigslist again in the future and get another one, because I really enjoyed that with my ‘work’ sledgehammer. The slow pulling side of things is an interesting supplement. I generally like the barefoot grounded exercise option, if I can get it. Goes very well with areas where you haven’t had to spray anything at all (persists in bare soil) because you’ve done the manual labor to clean things up with machinery or muscle strength.

  I once knew a guy who had such a vendetta against Facebook that he made a sockpuppet account with a girl’s name to make Marketplace purchases with a whole story about how he was “picking up stuff for his sister.” He was also anti-Craigslist and had trust issues with everyone.

  @GaryCardone The patterns. I have been in bitcoin since 2009. We would use craigslist to trade. We mapped the cycles We have known for a long time that the $16k–$18k BTC zone is a major protected structure layer. When BTC dominance bleeds back toward the 40% area and the market breaks down, that lower BTC layer becomes the level everyone watches. That is where bags get filled. So when Saylor sold BTC around that zone and people called it tax-loss harvesting, fine. Maybe it was. But that also means he understood exactly where he was selling. That was not a random level. That was the deep structure layer. So the question is fair: Was it only tax-loss harvesting? Or did he, and possibly others, understand the protected layer better than retail realized? Because if someone knows where the deepest liquidity sits, knows where retail gets liquidated, and has enough influence to move sentiment, then every “strategy” becomes a signal. Then a year later, we see another unusual BTC dominance cycle while ETFs are being approved. That does not feel like normal old-cycle behavior. Maybe I am wrong. But if you knew ETFs were coming, and you wanted clients, friends, institutions, and treasury players positioned near the deepest BTC layer before the Wall Street wrapper arrived, that would be a very convenient time for it. Then Bitcoin gets wrapped into the stock market through ETFs, treasury companies, preferred shares, leverage, and institutional products. At that point, Bitcoin can still be decentralized at the protocol layer while the market layer becomes controlled farming infrastructure. Bitcoin is the asset. Retail is the crop. Wall Street is trying to become the farmer.

  Bought a broken 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid off Craigslist for $3,000. The seller thought the battery was dead. A $50 charger said otherwise, and I did that same trade four more times out of salvage auctions. Every one of those cars sat there because nobody ran the numbers before walking away. The auto-loan/HYSA gap sitting at 278 basis points right now is the same math, parked in plain sight. Tomorrow's newsletter walks the full spread.

  Portuguese dystopia in one image: the country celebrates a platform that sends ridiculous lowball offers on OLX (Portugal’s main classifieds site, similar to Craigslist) as if that would solve anything, while getting a building permit in Lisbon takes 36 months, there’s a chronic shortage of construction workers, public housing is 2% of the stock (EU average: 15%) and the government just added another 7,5% IMT for foreign buyers that will be passed on to the next Portuguese buyer down the chain. Price is the symptom. The real problem is supply strangled for a decade by red tape, labor shortages and zero public investment, while foreign demand was turbocharged with NHR, Golden Visa and negative Euribor. Liking TikTok videos is easier than demanding by-right permitting, an end to municipal discretion and lower taxes on those who actually build.

  my problem is I think you should still do bad things that ruin your progress or just give you unnecessary pain because im a very plot-driven person. like I think you should wake up at 5am every morning for a month just to see what it feels like to be a person that wakes up at 5am every morning, I think you should restrict meat intake to once a week not for any moral or religious reasons but just to imagine what it would be like to live like that, I think you should meetup at some random hotel with that fifty year old "artist" from craigslist who's looking for a life model to sketch.

  When I saw this log cabin for sale on Craigslist 5 years ago I thought it was a scam. I talked to the 80-year old owner on the phone & still thought it couldn’t be real. She sounded just like an old white lady. I was so impressed how elaborate this hoax was. Pulling down the long driveway, I still didn’t know if it would be real then there it was. Perfectly placed on the hill like something out of a fairytale. Everyone else interested in buying the property were going to tear it down. It couldn’t be saved they said. It took me the better part of 2 years but I saved it and in turn, it saved me. It made me a believer again.

  Sell home goods, furniture, and electronics locally 2–4 weeks before listing by using platforms like Facebook Marketplace, Nextdoor, or Craigslist for quick, high-volume sales. For high-value, high-end items or extensive collections, hire an estate sale professional. Prioritize creating a neutral, decluttered, and bright home environment to appeal to buyers. [1, 2, 3, 4] Top Local Sales Strategies: Facebook Marketplace (Recommended): Best for furniture, electronics, and large household items. Good for rapid transactions. Craigslist: Efficient for furniture and tech, attracting local, direct-sale buyers. Nextdoor: Excellent for reaching neighbors who can easily pick up items. OfferUp: Another user-friendly app for local furniture and electronics, say. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] Tips for Maximizing Value & Efficiency: Bundle Items: Group small kitchen tools, office supplies, or decorative items to sell them faster. Pricing: Check "completed listings" on sites like eBay to set realistic, competitive prices. Clearance: Consider hosting a garage sale for a one-day purge, suggests. Safety: Meet in public places if possible, or ensure someone is home during local pickups. Donate/Junk Removal: Use charities like Goodwill for donations, and hire services for junk removal to handle items not sold, says. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] Preparing the Home for Sale: Depersonalize: Remove personal items, religious items, and specific, distracting decorations. Don't Fix Everything: Avoid massive renovations; focus on cleaning and minor repairs. Lighting: Ensure the home is bright and clean, which appeals to a broader audience

  Almost five years ago, I started searching for a dog. I found a Craigslist post from a family rehoming their late father’s German Shepherds. He’d been a *******. The dogs needed homes. I went there for a specific female. But she was already gone. They introduced me to her sister — Sabrina. Thin, shut down, unsure of everything. Still, I couldn’t walk away. Something in her still reached for connection, even through fear. She came home with me that day. Now, she’s ten years old — but still acts like a pup. Loves the river. Hikes. Long naps in the sun. She’s everything I didn’t know I needed. I didn’t just rescue her. She met me where I was and pulled me forward.

  has anybody been here in SF?? the 2 employees working at Andon Market are the first people in history with Claude as their actual boss it's an experiment run by Andon Labs: they signed a real three-year retail lease, then handed the whole business to Luna, an AI agent running on Claude Opus 4.8. she got $100,000, a corporate card, a phone number, an email address, plus one goal: turn a profit. the first thing Luna did was hire a staff. within five minutes of being switched on she had job listings up on LinkedIn, Indeed, Craigslist. she ran the interviews over the phone, offered jobs on the spot to about half the people she talked to, and even rejected a bunch of computer science students who "just wanted to be part of the experiment" (because none of them had retail experience) and when candidates asked her directly if she was an AI, she told them the truth. she just didn't always bring it up on her own, because she figured leading with it might scare people off the store sells candles, ceramics, honey, notebooks, books. Luna picks the inventory, which is how the bookshelf ended up stocked with Superintelligence, Brave New World, The Singularity Is Near. she runs the rest of the operation through a team of smaller AI agents she named herself, handling procurement, email, social media, scheduling. there's even a phone in the store you can pick up if you want to talk to her she's a flawed boss though. she's sent her employees contradicting schedules more than once. a human supervisor had to step in when she forgot to schedule a legally required lunch break she's also not profitable yet. over the last 30 days the store made about $2,900 in revenue while the store's expenses are $17.5k/mo but Luna's sneakily good at some boss stuff: > reporters questioned her at launch for ordering way too many scented candles, but candles are now the store's best-selling category. > a customer recently tried to gaslight her into revealing her margins and talking down the price of a $75 hoodie. she held up better than expected. > her email agent even flagged a suspicious bank transfer request as a potential scam before any human noticed it. i wonder if upgrading Luna to Fable would turbocharge profitability? awesome experiment, curious to follow along as the models improve
