They have that place we can go eat with our hands and watch horse jousting in Chicago.

Iām in Indiana, either central or northwestern depending on time of year. Would definitely be good with meeting in Chicago or something, thatād be good for a lot of the great lakes states.

I was hoping Chicago wouldnāt become the center point (I am disgruntled at the city for legal reasons) but I figured this was probably going to happen lol
Iād still go for a Chicago meet up
Depending on how many people we get interested it could range from a few regulars having some drinks and meeting IRL, to possibly a super abridged āimplants for the non initiatedā if newbies catch wind and want to join us
Maybe we should make a thread

I donāt see anything too important if it doesnāt get moved
You ever noticed how they give you more captchas the more protection you have?
Like not even reasonable more, if Iām on TOR and blocking everything but captchas I have to spend minutes solving little AI riddles to read a fucking blog post. I hate captchas so much.
Btw, this works some times.

Big data doesnāt like anonymity. The more you block scripts, the more stuff they throw at you to make you stop.
In the case of TOR, the company thatās singlehandedly responsible for serving up those captchas is Cloudflare. Thatās one hateful bunch of sumbitches I wish would burn in hell.

Some of these chinese products make me think that Iād need chinese furniture with extremely thin doorsā¦
The communist party in the PRC imposes very strict standards on how hard doors and furniture should be for the police to bust open when they come get ya in the middle of the night.

As much as I hate the CCP, something tells me that youāre joking.
However, the marketing picture that I posted earlier does not inspire confidenceā¦

Iām partially joking 
Do you often see pure Chinese products that inspire confidence? Itās getting better for sure these days, but Chinese-branded products - particularly consumer products - are rarely something you know will be quality-built, durable and well-engineered.

Last couple of interesting looking Chinese products I saw were direct rip offs of designs that someone else had produced and paid a Chinese factory to make them, so the factory also stole the design.

A sizable portion of my rather large collection of vaping mods is Chinese ripoffs: they work great on account of the good western design for a fraction of the stupid price the original US companies asked for the genuine articles. So Iām not complaining
