Stuff you want to own when you're rich

[Cutlass]

If you build it, they will come.

Spelling?


For me, a nice house on the coast of New Hampshire or Maine, a few nice cars, and I'd travel a lot. That's about it.

I thought if it's tapping into the local aquifier then it's just Earth-poo water not "this was literally just doo-doo last week" water?

I mean assuming the local groundwater is not messed up, which is probably true in a lot of places. I would definitely agree that local groundwater health would be a big consideration for wherever I set up my hippy-lair.

Meh. Filtered is filtered. If the poo that got filtered out is your own poo from last week, or fish poo from the local reservoir, or dinosaur poo from the ancient aquifer, it's still water that used to have poo in it. As long as there's no poo left in it... No big deal.

My concerns are less scientific and more flippant I suppose.

 

[Hygro]

So much scientific research.

edit: unrelated to illram's post above.

Hey man, you have to remember homeopathic principles. The fact that the poo is filtered out just makes the water MORE poo-filled. The poo becomes more effective at grossing you out the more it gets diluted!

We're talking about poo again?! I can't escape this...

one of those bookcases that move but in the cavity behind the bookcase would be more bookcases. not only will people think i'm mysterious, but they will also think that i read a helluva lot more than they previous thought.

Bookcases within bookcases within bookcases... maybe I'd finally have room for all my books!

What makes you think the water from a well isn't recycled poo-water? Dirt may be natural, but it is still just a filter.

I grew up on an acreage that used well water. The difference between that and tap water in the city was amazing (I hate city water).

A swimming pool full of heavy water, partly for effort-free swimming and partly for unauthorized nuclear experiments.

You'd do better with extra-salty water for the swimming! Salt is cheap.

When I was in Lloydminster (god help me), the well water had a really bad flavour to it. Very..uh, turdy.

When I am rich, I will buy the Evian water factory, and fly it out west as a gift to the people of Lloydminster.

I did NOT bring it up this time!

Nice avatar by the way.

 

[warpus]

I would also buy season tickets at Stamford Bridge, an MLS team (if possible), and some new pants. I could really use some.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

Ooooooh! I forgot...during the last winter Olympics I decided if I won the lottery I was going to form a professional curling league! I would definitely do that!

I guess I should have mentioned that back when I had good, clean well water to drink, it was in the late '60s/early '70s before Alberta's environment basically went to hell.

 

[Kozmos]

Did anybody say Greece?

 

[amadeus]

$30?! I don't have that kind of money to spare.

 

[Zelig]

I have all the "stuff" I want already.

What I really want is more time, which I can get with various combinations of optimization, automation, outsourcing and life extension. Money only immediately and obviously helps with outsourcing services.

A few Senators.

$400 M

You get the peninsular bits, I get the Thrace business. It's a win-win for both of us!

We know. You find some way to bring that up in literally every thread, no matter the subject.

Give him a break. For once, it's in a thread that literally is about that subject.
