Open Bar: Arguments About Turtles, All the Way Down

[Junkenstein]

I'd like to offer some impractical and unsolicited advice.

Hire porters.  It's what all the best people do.

Best impractical and unsolicited advice ITT.

a wheelie grocery bag?

drag that shit, don't heft it.

Can't tell if srs or being facetious.

To be honest it sounds like a good suggestion.  A small luggage bag with wheels/handle might be just thing thing.

Had to stay home from school this morning to call maintenance and let them know that we have plumbing fail all the things.

Verdict: Bolt behind the toilet was loose, better than leaking at the base like I thought it was. And new garbage disposal.

Apply for a job in Kazakhstan?  Sure, why not.

Yes, it is certainly a novel suggestion that no student has ever before considered, not in any way a common sight on all college campuses everywhere in the world, and there is no possible way that I may have rejected it for reasons I never would have anticipated explaining on a forum.

Seriously, guys, the problem with unsolicited advice based on incomplete knowledge is that it's tiresome and almost always unintentionally both condescending and stupid, and generally puts the unwilling advisee in a situation where they are explaining details that nobody gives any fucks about, like the part where their walk from downtown to south waterfront precludes dragging a stupid small case on wheels. Not to mention what a pain in the ass those things are on the bus.

I was just complaining. Not asking for solutions to a mundane problem absolutely nobody on the internet knows enough details of to possibly have the tools to solve. Suggesting really obvious solutions gives me the impression you think I'm an idiot, and is a waste of everyone's time.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Seriously, give people a little credit.

Have you considered using your hands or perhaps arms to carry the books in question?

What if you kicked the books down along the street as you walked?

How good is your balance? Could you stack a bunch of them on your head?

I was thinking that if I got a bunch of helium balloons I could just float them back and forth.

[Cain]

I think you should just quit college.  If you can't carry books, you have no purpose there.

NO.

PURPOSE.

THERE.

Get thee hence, non book carrier.  Your kind are not required.

[Doktor Howl]

Have you looked into forklift rentals?  They can be surprisingly cheap.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

 

Now THAT's the kind of unsolicited impractical advice I can get behind.

I need to start doing that to everyone.

Of course, I'm also kind of assuming that Pix was being facetious, since I posted that I'd worked out a system back on page 69:

Thanks N0p! I think I have devised a system that is complex but functional. I will do Ochem homework at home on Monday and Wednesday mornings, and at school on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons. I'll read my Neuro book at school on Monday and Wednesday afternoons, and my Molecular Bio book at home on Monday and Wednesday evenings. I'll do my Systems Science reading on the bus to and from school.

I'll work on projects on weekends.

Seems like this should cover me, and I'll only have one really big textbook on me at any given time.
