If you did not have to sleep...

I am not sure whose fate was worse. Hers or Yamchas. 😬😬

I mean for much of Dragon Ball he wasn't one of the powerhouses but he did continue to improve and would usually play his role. Haha then Super made me think he was going to make a comeback for the tournament. 😬😬

Yeah, Super really got my hopes up that some of the older characters were going to be relevant again. Guess they were for a short while
 
Lots of studying. a lot of research, and tinkering when I could.
 
What types of things would you be studying, researching and tinkering with?
Well as of late it's mostly been electrical engineering and design. and a lot of tinkering with upgrades to my jeep :P

just last night I finished building a new fuse/relay box and wiring harness so I can setup a triple electric radiator fan system as well as upgrade the headlight power wiring since the OEM factory wiring is notoriously undersized for the power demands.

But it'd be stuff like that mostly, engineering, tinkering, repairing stuff I find in dumpsters around the college campus and industrial district, etc.

Sounds like you have some cool interests / hobbies. Not sure I'd be into dumpster diving though. :P

Well there's precautions to take, to be sure.
but I get stuff from practically brand new laptops (especially in the college around may/june), to old scrap electronics I can salvage for parts and recycle the rest. I don't really go for anything else since clothes etc kinda gross me out if they're in the dumpster. I do put the stuff I salvage into a bag and clean it thuroughly in my shed workshop using Isopropyl however to make sure there's nothing ick in them.

Do they have cameras or security guards at those places? Ever been asked to leave?

Well actually it's sorta cultural here weirdly enough...
But once or twice yeah... what it comes down to though is that over a decade ago congress ruled that if it's in a dumpster it's free reign and public property so as long as you aren't littering or making a nuisance of yourself it's legal.

Yeah but they can still hit you with trespassing or whatever. Around here almost all dumpsters are in a locked enclosure or have a lock on them. I heard there was a homeless guy sleeping in an unlocked trash compactor somewhere around here and almost got compacted!

Anyway, if you can make some money or find something useful then that’s cool!

Yup, ebay is great for that lol.
It may not surprise you to learn that I'm actually a practicing locksmith too... but to be nice I only poke around open dumpsters and really only the surface stuff. After all it gets kinda hinkey when you go around picking locks to get at a computer someone threw away lol.

You’re a rebel. :P
