I made this table comparing WeWork and my local gay sauna. I hope somebody finds this useful

@Ninji I think the gay sauna should have printers in the jacuzzi tbh

lions & tamsyn & bears, oh my!

@wawik @Ninji if they were HP printers there's far too much danger of that becoming literal

Json Doh

@thamesynne @wawik @Ninji Printers are so XX century. If you want to read a document open it on the free iPad.

Jess👾

The humidity would make maintaining the printers even more hell for the IT people than they already are.

@Ninji

Scarred and Terraformed

@chrisisgr8 @JessTheUnstill @wawik @Ninji saw this out of context and read "moist pointers" next to Chris and thought "oh god what have they done now with C"

Jess👾

I mean, that's just where I want to do all my printing work.

@JessTheUnstill @wawik @Ninji listen, at the school where I work at, the previous printer was destroyed by an anvil. At this point I think the universe itself has started to fight back against printing

Ludovic Archivist Lagouardette

@mcnado @JessTheUnstill @wawik @Ninji

Well, we are an animation and video-game school, so... perhaps. I have not seen any roadrunners around though

Richard Hendricks

@JessTheUnstill @wawik @Ninji my IT admin friend has had multiple water leaks over their printer/plotter room. So a moisture proof printer would definitely have a use!

Wawik :BlobhajSneaky:

@evi @Ninji e-stim (printer thrown into jacuzzi) and degradation/humiliation (cosplaying as printer support technician dealing with moist printer)

Zen - Spicy Fox

@Ninji had never heard of such a thing. But looking at Pipeworks website I'm really intrigued and hope there's something similar here :3

DarkRat

@Ninji "private meeting rooms"

I mean... yes

jn

@Ninji honestly, "Printers: No" might as well be green

Matt 🌻

@Ninji @luke It says there are no printers at Pipeworks, but still I managed to get my load tray jammed.

Public Universal Tankie

@Ninji while the lack of an app is discoraging, can't say no to £19 a visit ...unless there's a limit on how long they let you stay? (Other than opening hours)

Ninji

@kirin the website says 12 hours max but i don't think it's actually enforced

propapanda :verified:

@Ninji

No printers and no app? Sounds like heaven.

@Ninji two comments:
1) this is a serif font away from looking very pleasantly 90s
2) the colours of the "Has an app" category make it seem like having an application is beneficial rather than detrimental ;3

Anselm Schüler

@Ninji why do they call it a men's health spa

The Original Stripey Goodness

@Ninji can we please get the "has an app" colors reversed?
"yes" should be red and "no" should be bright blessed green in that instance. ;)

Ninji

@stripey yeah, in hindsight i should have done that but i’m not reposting it now lmao

DELETED

@Ninji Pipeworks (amazing name) is gonna see this and pivot hard to supporting gay startups. Really, it’s win/win

Spycrab

@Ninji a gay sauna. I didn't know those existed.

Cher Tailor

@Ninji Pipeworks?

UH YEAH I sure hope it does.

wakame

@Ninji
"We should hold the next meeting at the spa. I need a drink for that topic."

Rob Synnott

@Ninji Printers: No.

Bit unfair on the masochists.

Athena, Gorgolaphas

@Ninji i think u got the colors for the “has app” line switched

Triss, cuddle-slut :18_plus:

@Ninji
Looks Mike Pipeworks wins by a landslide.
Nobody needs (2D)-printers nowadays and the fact that they don't have an own app is rather positive in my eyes. Coffee at my workplace is not free, too, and I think we can substitute phone booths somehow :blobcatmlem:

Jess👾

@Ninji
I hope they have very cleanable and disinfectant cases on those iPads.

bagmangood

@Ninji one of the WeWorks in SF was supposed to have a jacuzzi (and sauna) but they never got the permitting.

Something about having a hot tub on the 48th floor didn't go over well.

Lesley Carhart :unverified:

@Ninji What I have also learned here is that gay saunas are a lot better than regular saunas

Thestaroftheworlds

@Ninji iPads provided in a gay sauna.. what's that for?

past oral no mad

@Ninji The red/green backgrounds on "Has an app" need to be reversed.

Vincent :coffeecup:

@Ninji This is an excellent chart. I would only note that the Wi-Fi isn't "Free" but is included in the price. As long as I don't need to make any copies, the sauna is a better deal! (Probably more relaxing, too)

Daniel Marks

@Ninji I think I know which one is better for group cohesion.

Duke

@Ninji I wonder if 'Alcoholic drinks' in the wework's column should be "Bring your own", since that's definitely what's happening anyway. 🥃

Irenes (many)

@Ninji "has an app" should be red for "yes" and green for "no" :D

CheDN

@Ninji Re Pipeworks logo:

Very reminiscent of the 2020 Trumppence one:

EmeraldNova

@Ninji as a former community lead, this is amazing 😂

Local Agency

@Ninji this is especially hilarious because I know a number of people who work at a local software company named Pipeworks.

pipeworks.com/

Ninji

@laprice oh don’t worry, I work for their parent company and I have the same thought every time I see them mentioned :p

bigTanuki

@Ninji the gay sauna sounds like a better deal.

Carlos Solís
Whomever designed the logo for Pipeworks, absolutely knew what the target audience was
River Fox :therian:

@Ninji so I could basically live in a gay sauna 🤯 and pay less than I do now for rent and utilities

Malcolm Anderson

@Ninji as a developer you have the ability to make an app for the local gay sauna

Gaelan Steele

@Ninji wait the wework is *how much* per day

who is using these things

Ninji

@Gaelan good question!

i checked a manchester one and it was £25, apparently they’ve also got a subscription for regular users

i’ve never been though

Allie

@Ninji I think "has an app" is colour-coded the wrong way around 😋​

AriSunDog, Spooky Version!

@Ninji This is truly a thing of beauty -- and quite informative!

Susanne Opel

@Ninji The WeWork I attended had free beer every afternoon and other drinks and sometimes food on Thursday afternoons.

kaitlin

@Ninji
wework: has printers
gay sauna: does not

i rest my case

Ludovic Archivist Lagouardette

@Ninji so if you consume less than 10 coffees a day and your job doesn't require a printer, then it is better to go at the gay sauna... Seems reasonable

undead

@Ninji
:neocat_laugh_sweat: , Pipeworks is also a climbing gym in Sacramento, CA.

I am Jack's Lost 404

@Ninji

It doesn't count unless there's actual payphones in the phone booths...

Mondgesicht

@Ninji Why do they provide iPads? I'm so curious

Dźwiedziu

@Ninji I'm not gay (but I wouldn't kick Mick Jagger out of bed), but I'm sold on there being no printers.

Martha Crimson

@Ninji As an artist I sometimes want to print high quality prints of my art, so if Pipeworks had a good printer this wouldn't even be a choice.

Richard Bairwell

@Ninji Brilliant: somewhere cheaper than WeWork to have the video call conferences! :)

Daisy Leigh Brenecki

@Ninji gay sauna but all of the fuck booths have those Google Meet kiosk things in them

Comrade elronxenu

@Ninji So the gay sauna just needs to provide free coffee and they'll make a killing.

C.B.Leslie

@Ninji team we know the gaps in the market now.

Gaelan Steele

@Ninji ah I see you’ve fallen prey to the classic blunder, “post thing with obvious quibbling potential and have it do numbers”

they call me the Gamer

@Ninji@wuffs.org wait i looked them up, they have glory holes and wework doesn't, so i think they win

ǝlqɯnɹ uoɯᴉS

@Ninji
Wait your WeWork doesn't have alcohol? Free beer taps in the Sydney ones.

Oh, Scotland. Yeah I see their point.

MrClon

@Ninji reasonable business model^ no and yes respectively (:
