External Hard Drive Encased In A Cement Brick
Description:
Cement brick with a USB hard drive inside. It was made by a guy I've never met and it has a bunch of random files and photos of people who went to a college I didn't go to. I guess you could say it's a bit of a time capsule. I've had it for years and it's hard to see it go but it's time...
Free to a good home but please note that it is a literal cement brick so it's heavy! But it has a handle.

Sara Frazer 7 months ago
I could actually see this being useful, for those of us that need support/containment at night...instead I shift pillows and plushies and move them around and smoosh them until I'm comfortable...and I have to bury my hands in plushies at night, otherwise my arms flail and I wake myself up by smacking the wall 😖
