I stopped by Sasona, my old co-op for a while last week. It’s been a long time since I’ve visited, and I was pleasantly surprised that some of the ridiculous ghetto hacks I had installed are still running, years later. For instance, I had rigged several doors to close using a rope, a pulley, and pieces of rebar I found lying out in the yard.
The rebar is the counterweight, visible to the left.
On the other side of this door I cobbled together a stop to muffle the sound of people slamming the door open. It’s made from scrap wood, some old socks, and a scrap piece of Dickies work pants.
And Sasona is still observing their bread man creation myth ceremony.
Definitely the best piece of social engineering I ever pulled off.
