What small but overly indulgent thing would you like to own?

[publiusr]

I'd like a giant sequoia log cabin

Maybe that's not what you mean by "small and indulgent" ?

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I'd like...a Presto card with infinite funds.

Hey, it's indulgent AND very small. So it's win-win!

I want a handheld time machine that also functions as a transporter so I can travel from place to place once I'm in the right year.

If that's not doable, I'd like a kitten.

Now I'm excited because @Timewalker can actually go and get a kitten!

It would pretty much have to do the latter, since celestial bodies, including Earth, are moving hellaciously fast and wouldn't be close to where they were even for a time travel jaunt of 1 second. You'd end up in deep space, unless you had the ability to move through space, too.

Good luck with the kitten.

Actually, I'd go back and prevent myself from allowing certain individuals to adopt some of the kittens my cats had (they didn't look after them as well as they promised they would). I'd bring those kittens to my current year and give them healthy, loving lives.

But time travel aside, it's been nearly 10 years since my younger cat was a kitten. Her adult self is a wonderful cat, but I just miss having a kitten or two running around.

I would love to own a first edition of Darwin's On the Origin of Species.

Nice one!

I'd like one of these $400 Weta Rivendell models:

Can I afford it? Yes. Do I have anywhere suitable to display it? Not really. With dimensions of only 18.11" x 7.87" x 12.2" inches (W x H x D), will I give in to my greed and order one? Not anytime soon.

That's very sweet..... But yeah kinda pricey. Does it even have any show possibilities, like buildings opening or stuff?

 

[think]

from the definition ... of a quantum computer --- I would like to play with..

1. a computer that makes use of the quantum states of subatomic particles to store information.

or what? that new chip that is out there I saw...everyone is going to have in 2020

or wait lets just go fantasy with making that gene that causes ageing to reverse itself and remain stable for -- untold unfathomable lengths of time and space..- with quad-four logic processing powers linked via bluetooth to everything.

back to realty I am doing things today.

Planning on some more TTC rides?

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

^ Yep. I'm coming to Toronto the second week of May.

Nope. As I understand it, it's not even screen-accurate, layout-wise. They moved things around so it'd fit nicely on a compact oval.

Or one of those large walk-in showers with polished stone or good quality tiles, that's easy to clean and looks nice and has no shower door to clean. It's small ... in comparrison to the rest of the house it would be in.
