    Oh jeez apparently they recommend 3 inch slat spacing?

    Well I guess 6 inches is better than eleven though.

    I guess I could always get a big flat piece to sit between the foundation and mattress?

    I don't know what the ergonomics are but I dunno why you couldn't just slap a piece of plywood or something in there

    edit: maybe it's so different areas can flex more or less than others. maybe you could just DIY up some slats to put between the real ones?

    Box springs have generally just fallen deeply out of vogue in the bed world, bedframes aren't generally designed that way as often and mattresses have followed suit

    Yeah my bed frame itself is very old and due to be replaced soon too.

    I also want to get a cheap steel bed frame in the next few months I can just slap my old head board onto. The footboard honestly gets in the way too much anyway.

    Oh my God it feels like laying on a new bed

    But also that might be because I'm worn out so bad after putting it together.

    should I buy this toy bow that is priced suspiciously close to a real bow

    7mz82CX.jpg
    zeVamnS.jpg

    I already have two elastic based toy bows that I use with my cousins in nerf battles, and I've come to like "fake" archery for just plinking at things

    this bow is considerably more powerful, but should still largely be safe enough to use outside without going to an actual range, which is a bit too much of a hassle given where i'm currently living

    but given the price of the bow with arrows and shipping comes up to like... $170 USD, it's a lot of money to blow on what's largely a toy

    Bought me a hat for game day yesterday.

    Felt too old to have a flat bill hat so I have curved it slightly.

    The tattoo shop near the Safelite quoted me like a hundred bucks for that tattoo I wanna get

    It'll still have to wait for next month but it'll be a good birthday gift to myself.

    No matter the hobby, if it requires equipment players will be presented the illusion of converting money into skill.

    160 bucks for the windshield replacement.

    Guess it could have been worse. Could have not had comprehensive at all to cover most of it.

    The receipt shows the full price for everything and yikes.

    That's a deal. It's about 400 for me. So I'm keeping the crack. Fancy windshields with electronic displays can be in the 4 figure zone easy.

    I was about to say $160 sounds like way too little and then I got to where insurance is covering the rest of it

    I feel the same way about flat bill hats. I'm too old, not cool enough, etc.

    I don't think From knows how to make dlc without making it harder then the main game.

    And speaking of I just ordered the two part strategy guide for Elden Ring even though I already have the platinum and will probably not play it again without whatever dlc they decide to release.
