    I'm selling some old music stuff on eBay for almost nothing.

    This is stuff that I should just throw away.

    But I am going to see if I can get someone to pay me to come and take it away.

    What a delightful scam.

    My Dad did this on Craigslist with an old chest freezer and a fridge because the disposal fees were prohibitive.

    I actually have another auction going for a countertop wine cellar for essentially the same reason.

    Although that one only has a few views so far. I might have to hawk that one on Craigslist.

    Best method if no one buys:

    "FREE X ON SIDEWALK AT THIS ADDRESS"

    It'll be gone inside a day.

    Oh good point cooking is essential

    I am actually not super neat pretty often. Especially when I'm stressed. The constant studying has left my eyebrows and my room a mess.

    what old music stuff

    A Squier bass guitar that needs to be repaired, a 20 watt combo amp, a soft case, and a music stand

    I described everything honestly and listed it as "For parts or not working" (the guitar doesn't work, it needs a new pick guard and probably some soldering to get it to work again, the cab works fine)

    I set the starting bid to 99 cents and for local pickup only

    One bid so far: 99 cents

    For that price just let someone punch you for a buck

    Hmm, do I dare pursue the perfect career?

    One nice thing about the south, you can leave anything out on the curb and someone will take it. So many junk farmers and flea marketeers.

    It has come to my attention that there is an American tennis player named Jack Sock.

    It must have been pretty rough growing up with a name that sounds like something a 14-year-old boy keeps under the mattress next to a worn-out copy of Hustler.

    I just learned this today as well while my wife was watching the US Open.

    I asked her if he had a brother named Ankle.

    She just glared at me.

    Fox News is not a million times more popular than PBS

    PBS newshour has over a million more viewers than fox news, and NPR has 5-6 times as many listeners as fox news has viewers

    People think Fox News is more important than it is, but even their highest rated show, the Oreilly Factor, only has around 2.5 million viewers
    Not sure where you're getting these numbers from? Especially for PBS, which are hard to source, presumably because they pursue less advertising.

    per http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2015/09/03/cable-news-ratings-for-wednesday-september-2-2015/457307/

    O'Reilly had three million viewers yesterday, Fox News as a whole had ~2.5 million viewers throughout primetime.

    I'm having trouble finding good numbers on PBS, but they seem to only have had slightly less than 1 million viewers for NewHour in 2012: http://www.stateofthemedia.org/2013/network-news-a-year-of-change-and-challenge-at-nbc/pbs-newshour-viewership-falls-2/

    I'd be surprised if they really shot up 3.5x (if they're truly pulling a million more viewers than Fox, now) in the space of 2.5 years

    oh I was looking at number of users of PBS newshour online

    which is probably a larger number than actually watch it?

    But it doesn't change my point, 2.5-3 million viewers for O'reilly, Fox's most popular show

    that's not a lot for the amount of power and attention the GOP gives them

    the nightly news has an average of 22.5 million people according to stateofthemedia.org

    the same site has Fox News Channel at a median average viewership of 1.7 million viewers in 2014

    I'm guessing the rest of PBS has pretty low ratings. Whereas most of Fox's primetime shows do very well

    if anything I'd bet that NewsHour is one of PBS' lowest rated shows

    PBS puts all their content online for free so it's no surprise that they get larger online numbers

    Fox News average viewer is over retirement age so it's unlikely that their online presence is very large

    what kind of amp?

    A little Hartke 20 watt bass combo.

    Hartke doesn't even make it anymore, I got it around 2002.

    I'm actually selling another bass combo amp (PJB Bass Cub BG-100) as well that I picked up recently. It's good, but it leaves me with very little room to upgrade with additional cabs (it only has a line out, so the external cab would have to be active), so I'm trying to sell that off and replace it with a Fender Rumble 500 that's roughly the same price.

    They don't get that bad

    But when I'm busy and stressed I do not do nearly as good a job of shaving and basically don't pluck my eyebrows or clean my room and everything becomes a symbol of my inner chaos.
