Do You Reek?

[GTOguy]

Where I live, it's hot as hell 3 months out of the year and I take two to three showers a day. About 3 to 5 minutes each. Irish spring soap.

Was at Trader Joes last week and 4 young hippies were in the store, stoned, and they stank like they hadn't bathed in a year. All were white, about 18-20, and were wearing authentic hippie commune clothes like my dad used to wear in the commune in the '60's. The last time I smelled BO that bad was an Indian couple at Winco last year.
Jeebus...I had to leave the store.

They all live in an abandoned trailer in Coarsegold.:rofl:

How do you know about Coarsegold? Are/were you a central CA resident?

My dad used to hang around a commune in the area they called Finegold

[Vandelay Industries]

I have never been in to a Trader Joe's that wasn't packed with smelly liberals. And most of them are still wearing masks. :rofl:

Read part 3 of Steven Levy's Hackers. :D

Coarsegold is white-trashy for sure. As are much of the CA foothills. With the advent of embracing pot, it has gotten worse.

Clear Lake, CA, has been the meth capital of the state for at least the past 50 years. Funny how such picturesque places become such shitholes. San Francisco is a great example.

[The_Dude]

I went water skiing in Clear Lake when I was a kid

[Mick]

I ran 4.5 miles this morning, toted a 200 pound filing cabinet to the recycling center in the late morning, and just got in from cutting my grass in 90 degree temps. I'm fresh as a daisy!

[AUTOHOLIC]

I too live in an area with very hot summers. In the last 26 years that I have lived in central Arizona I have seen typical hot days in Cottonwood go from the mid 90s to the mid 100s.
Regarding the title of this thread I can’t stand odors like BO or Petrulie (sp) and I have no problem telling people that invade my space in public to please move away from me as I can’t take their odor. If they make any derogatory comments I tell them I would be happy to buy them a bar of soap if they would promise to use it.

[GTOguy]

God....Petrulie is about as bad as BO. Not much of it here, but where I grew up, the SF Bay area, it was all over the place.

Here we have 70-something women who wear an entire bottle of perfume and when they enter the restaurant, that's all you can taste for the rest of the meal. I can't stand that. I'd rather have someone smoke at the table.

*Patchouli. And yes, it's awful. I would rather smell BO or cat pee or cigarette smoke, than Patchouli.

Why did I troll you for being gateway to beautiful downtown Pinedale?

I lived on campus and out on W. San Ramon for 5 years. Worked at Sutton's, Cask & Cleaver, and others. '80-'84.

True story:

First wife had a hippy upbringing. Mom divorced UA Pilot dad to go hang out with some artist. She lived in the dorms. Her family literally lived in a trailer on a lot btw Coarsegold and Oakhurst. Thankfully at the time, I knew the owners of Ducey's at Bass Lake, so it was an easy trip over there.

I did not want to sleep in the trailer itself, so I slept in my bag out on the patio. There were mornings when I would wake up and there would be a cow starting at me from 3 feet. Horses, whatever. Nobody gated their shit up there:rofl:

Part 3 of Steven Levy's book "Hackers" focuses on the emergence of game hackers and the commercialization of the computer industry, which led to significant changes in the hacker culture and ethos. Here are the key points:

1. The rise of computer games: This section highlights the growing popularity of computer games, which became a major driver for people to purchase computers[1][2].

2. Sierra Online: Ken and Roberta Williams co-founded Sierra Online, a pioneering company in the computer game industry. They created popular games like "Wizard and the Princess"[2].

3. Increased access to computers: As computers became more widespread, hackers had greater access to them compared to earlier periods[2].

4. John Harris and Frogger: The book discusses John Harris, who brought the popular game Frogger to the Atari system, showcasing the growing commercial potential of computer games[2].

5. Copy protection: Companies began implementing copy protection measures for their software, marking a shift away from the open-sharing ethos of earlier hacker culture[2].

6. Decline of the Hacker Ethic: The original Hacker Ethic, which emphasized openness and sharing, began to erode as companies prioritized profit and protected their intellectual property[2].

7. Commercialization: Software development transitioned from a pursuit driven by pride and innovation to a business focused on making money. This shift fundamentally changed the nature of the hacker community[2].

8. Tension between openness and profit: The section explores the growing conflict between the desire for open systems and free access to information, which was central to the original hacker ethos, and the increasing need for security and control in a commercialized industry[3].

This part of the book illustrates a significant turning point in hacker culture, where the idealistic principles of early hackers clashed with the realities of a growing commercial computer industry. It highlights how the introduction of profit motives and proprietary software began to reshape the landscape of computing and the hacker community.

Not to brag, as I try to go without showering on weekends, make me feel more manly.

Thanks. The last computer type game I played was Pong in the late '70's. Never was a gamer, never gamed. Not into computers except for forum activity. If I need to game, I'll go outside in nature or go out into the shop and work on something.

[Swany00]

hell ya, 2 showers a day with the over 100 degree days out here in the hood....

the better half is on a health kick and got the dr squatch deodorant and while it's ok in the winter, I just drip in these high heats and had to go back to the anti-perspirant that barely helps when working outside.

It was an interesting place. During the week, we would be up there on friend's jetboat.

Weekends was when the LA folks all rolled in. We would mess with those folks endlessly.

:iagree: They make that crap into incense. Stinks everything up.
