"That sounds like a great idea, Ever, let us know when you get couch covers
and what the cleaning rotation you've set up looks like."

or i don't give a shit and it was a friendly suggestion so someone doesn't
burn the couches because they can't manage to clean them like normal couches
should be cleaned once in a while.

actually, on second thought, it's already known we have a rat problem and
those spread disease as well if not faster. i say we leave 2169 and find
some cold sterile concrete bunker somewhere. certainly this is more
practical than some basic upkeep and clean up, yes? i mean, since we're
being fucking lazy and everything...

"...sleeping at Noisebridge is not OK"

actually i'm pretty sure it's already been established that once in a while
crashing because you missed the train or had a late night project was ok as
long as you didn't make it a habit.
