> for years, my dream dwelling was a warehouse filled with whatever equipment one could possibly need to make things and run experiments in a dozen different domains<p>I've always wanted this too. My bedroom is a much-scaled-down version of this. Never cared about "nice", I want useful.<p>I, too, want a useful pair of pants instead of these modern useless pieces of nothing that fall apart within a week. I heave sheets of metal around all day. I've even thought of a bunch of useful features to add to the pants. I want extra-tough cuffs around the bottom of the legs and on the thigh. I want extra tough material on the edge of the right pocket so my tape measure doesn't destroy the pocket. I want bachelor buttons because belts are for idiots who hate their self and their body and just WANT to feel pain all the time.<p>I want an office chair that actually feels good to sit in and does all the things an office chair should do. Can't stand all these chairs that dump me out in the floor because you can't adjust the seat far enough. Mesh chair. Separate adjustments for legs and buttcheeks. Separate adjustments for lower, middle, upper back, neck and head. Armwrests with built-in keyboards, which can also rotate to be out of the way.<p>I'd love to see what the world would be like if it was totally void of consumerism or whatever it is that makes everything in the whole world mediocre and basically useless.
