    Shipping containers, and a mobile puzzle game where you try to get some treasure while preventing the little cartoon guy from getting inundated with water or magma.

    With the cost of housing around here, I could see a use case... :(

    Shipping container homes actually exist. They can be modified to include windows, glass doors, or skylights.

    Plane tickets to Kazakhstan. Only 7 hours 45 minutes and now visa-free!

    No idea where it calculates that time from as I'm yet to find a single route under 10 hours.

    EDIT: It says "7 hours 45 minutes flight", so I guess it simply doesn't mention the 3 hours of transfer.

    Instantaneous Transfer!
    Plus, VIP Lounge!

    And, with the Lego® Titanic Model they are trying to sell me, there would be something to do!

    I am currently using one.
    Yup. In fact, in my state there are boat check stations at the state lines to prevent the transfer of invasive aquatic species. The office for these stations are containers.

    Comfortable casual hiking clothes. Very much me, I love spending a weekend afternoon at a park. But it's also offering me office space rentals, and a telephone plan from the company I also have a telephone plan with.
    Oh yes. And there's also a Movember advertisement in French... While I do speak French casually on the regular, I never type in it...

    Hazmat suits, ideal for crime scene cleanup, suicides (presumably where the deceased wasn't missed for awhile), and other similarly gruesome events.

    They must think my life is a lot more interesting than it is...

    Recently I don’t get ads at all and I just got the “disable adblocker” message. Problem is it’s already disabled.

    Some weird stuff on Etsy, and a couple of women wearing what appear to be "sexy" nun costumes, as well as the fake Rolexes. Of all the luxury watches that I might actually (hypothetically) consider obtaining a fake version of, Rolex would be at the absolute bottom. It's too well-known and recognizable of a brand.
