6 months agoI had free laundry for most of my freshman year of college. We had coin operated machines, and somebody quickly figured out that you can strip 2 wires and just touch them together, or touch a coin to both of them, and every time you did that the machine would think a coin had been inserted. Eventually the college caught on and one day I went down there and all the machines were taken apart with maintenance guys working on them, and after that there was a heavy duty housing for the coin acceptor with no exposed wires. It was nice while it lasted!
I recently bought a new house and holy crap, what a difference. Even shorter people had to duck going up & down the stairs in my old basement. There is not a single place in my new house that I need to duck my head, and it’s glorious.
