  Got to love anybody who invites you to a private island and tells you you won’t be allowed to leave or call for help.

      I’ll probably just bring some books and all my hobby stuff

        Unless there’s some DMs we’re not aware of, this seems pretty presumptuous.

  It boggles my mind how rich you have to be to own a private island and keep up with all the expenses related to supply and whatnot.

  Definitely out of reach for the rest of us.

    I knew a guy with the shittiest private island. He said it cost him $20,000 USD its in Canada, had enough room for a cabin that was just a shed with a queen mattress in it and a boat dock.

    He showed me a video of him trying to enjoy it in summer and it was just CONSTANT heavy winds. He said he had to soundproof the cabin and goes there to read and write. If he wants to feel the wind he has to wear hearing protection and a jacket no matter the time of year.

    I never thought I’d feel bad for someone who owns an island. Still first world problems galore, but $20k is very affordable for a piece of land.

    Is there actual REQUIRED upkeep though or could you say fuck it, and go ashore with a tent, row boat and the freshwater and food required for a week?

      Living in Kentucky, we have a lot of mountainous land that’s kinda useless for anything except hunting and camping.

      Not uncommon to know people who bought a few acres out in the hills for the price of a used car and just camp out there. Lots of folks also sell hunting leases to make enough money to cover taxes or pay it off.

  OK I’m curious. Would I be allowed:

  • my blood glucose monitor? (It’s dead weight without a device reading it, but it does have a battery and it’s glued to/pricked into my arm)
  • a stand-alone device reading values from it? (Think esp32 with a shitty 1.4" display)
  • since I don’t actually own that, my phone for the sole purpose of reading my blood glucose?

  Detox policy? Why not detox the entire world?

    And that’s how we got rid of smartphone and people with pacemakers.

      I rather meant the detoxicating the world by removing millionaires.
