Not enough time to shred all the documents when they come raiding… Wheel some away to the panic room.
Can’t let the feds see your embarrassing doodles. Let them see the tax fraud documents… But keep the embarrassing doodles you don’t want the feds to see in here.
@OnionSoup I’m not sure what you were imagining, but these are certainly not what I was imagining: /showme the embarrassing doodles I don’t want the feds to see
They aren’t very embarrassing, and I don’t think I’d even consider them doodles.
@Brandizzle@caffeineguy what’s interesting about this? It’s mundane as all get out. No hdmi, no Bluetooth, doesn’t have 11 functions. Looks cheap and delicate by design and it’s above 20 bucks.
@DonKedich As you noted, flimsy enough that the user should be glad they don’t use swivel casters when there’s only two; that setup waddles, which would shake this into wreckage. Even with four, you’re right that the results would be similar when the surface below it isn’t flat enough, and a “spinner” caster setup would mean that it would not fold as flat. And the two wheels provided can get challenged beyond their capabilities on broken pavement, too. But for it’s actual best-case usage scenarios, it’s handy enough to be worthwhile for a lot of people. Outside of that, yeah, very Meh.
What, no endorsement from either Trump or Biden for use in moving classified documents between garages?
Or Hunter B for moving troves of cash?
I don’t recall seeing any of these being used in sneaking belongings across the Rio Grande. Guess they don’t give Vine products to the “undocumented”?
Other potential uses:
(1) Portable high chair?
(2) Portable potty?
(3) Portable podium for Kamala so she can be seen and remembered? Or Nikki?
(4) Transport for all those accumulated Meh snacks on your next road trip?
@phendrick Dude. People at high levels have someone to do that load-transfer stuff for them. They’re called “valets”. People looking to get stuff across a river want a box that doesn’t leak, sink, or get stuck in the crap under the surface.
Now for a list of uses for which this works poorly:
Live bait bucket
Portable potty unless you line it with a plastic bag and cut a hole in the top, and you weigh a lot less than the claimed 200 pounds.
Transport for 80 servings of freshly-cooked ramen in containers with leaky lids (because tilt)
Ammo box for 10,000 rounds of 5.56 for your next range party (too much weight, bottom falls out bumping across gravel parking lot)
Impromptu charcoal grill for tailgating
Emergency air travel luggage, even with multiple straps around it, particularly when flying United
Pet kibble bin
Ice chest
(Some of these uses may be based on observations of the results obtained; I admit nothing.)
I bought one of these last time. It’s a bit flimsy but not too shabby overall! It annoys me that the lid doesn’t click into the collapsed unit (well, that I can see anyway) though.
I’d buy another, but I’ll wait until a lower price point.
If it doesn’t sell out before time X then I plan to get one. I have one with a different lock mechanism. The cover/seat busted after a while, but it’s still a decent rolly-crate to own.
I have one of these. It is the greatest thing. I don’t need it as much as I used to when I lived in a condo and I had to haul everything into my place from the parking garage but it’s still very useful.
OMG- Mentioned in the write-up! That’s a first.
This is a bit flimsy, and the handle, at full extension, feels like it will break before long. I believe there are sturdier versions of this type of carrier (at 3-4X the price), so this was an exploratory purchase. If MrsNews really digs the functionality (and this one breaks), we’ll spring for a “professional” model.
@MrNews I have a Milwaukee pack-out, and it’s excellent, but the Ryobi at half the price is a better deal anytime, and pretty much just as useful if you don’t care about adding on the extra layers with special features found only on the red one. Of course, that kind of “pro” version doesn’t fold, but not folding also makes them strong enough to carry ridiculous loads.
this is perfect for the UPS guy who wont ( cant) drive all the way up to my house…so this little box ( left at the top of my private driveway) will make it easier than having to untie my packages from a tree limb
Holy shit I got quoted in a writeup! It takes so little to make my day lately, I’mma take this, drink it in with my coffee, and avoid the world until bedtime so as not to sully this perfect moment.
@edsa Most plastic recycling systems accept only a very narrow range of things, and none take large items in my experience. The local system complains regularly about people tossing old ice chests and plastic patio chairs in the bins.
@Bloodshedder That is super close but slightly different. I got the one in the URL at Fry’s (R.I.P.). The folding side panel locking mechanism is not built into the side panel itself. In the one in the URL, you have to pull slats off the floor of the cart and snap them into place.
I like the meh “evolutionary upgrade” because it’s got sliders built into the side panels.
I only know this because I recently spent a lot of time researching knock-offs of these rolly crates.
Meh, you’re suppose to sell me cheap crap I don’t need and likely shouldn’t buy. Not normally priced crap that I don’t need and shouldn’t buy. I have Amazon for that.
@goldnectar The mere fact that Amazon has it will make me shop elsewhere after confirming that something exists. And then it often still arrives in an Amazon box or envelope.
@goldnectar@werehatrack You are influencing me. I would like to get it, but I have to admit that the price is not very competetive.
Now, if the crate came with an IRK inside, then that would be whole nuther kettle of crawdads :

Great for foiling the feds.

/showme the embarrassing doodles I don’t want the feds to seeThey aren’t very embarrassing, and I don’t think I’d even consider them doodles.
@OnionSoup @xobzoo
I like those a lot!
@xobzoo I’d be proud if I could doodle them. I’d show them to the feds even if I weren’t being raided by them.
@OnionSoup @xobzoo Some of those look pretty sketch.
@OnionSoup @xobzoo I suspect that the embarrassing doodles were practice attempts for stuff to be done hurriedly on the inside of a restroom stall.
Not cheap enough if you got Prime free shipping and free returns if it sucks.
@radi0j0hn Yup, meh has really been living up to its name the last few months. It’s like the buyers don’t even try to find interesting things anymore.
@caffeineguy It’s interesting enough. Just not cheap enough to take the punt.
@Brandizzle @caffeineguy what’s interesting about this? It’s mundane as all get out. No hdmi, no Bluetooth, doesn’t have 11 functions. Looks cheap and delicate by design and it’s above 20 bucks.
Yah yawn
@qazxto And it can’t make margaritas.
Great way to take the cat to the vet,
Would probably get in the box themselves
@lonocat Probably only get in once if they felt trapped when you shut the lid and clamped it shut and then they ended up at the vet.
Bought one last time. Pretty nice, and makes unloading from the Costco run a little easier.
@vfrdirk Valid. Possibly a best-use case.
These work great for moving training manuals and marketing materials. No need to rely on this Internet fad.
Truly meh. Pretty flimsy with a thousand ways to pinch your finger. Don’t even hope for swivel wheels.

I can see myself using this for groceries and stuff. In for one.

@werehatrack Thanks, I will keep that in mind if the missus requires a sturdier version!

Is it recyclable? For real, the plastic.
