  • Get a cheap plastic form- a large plastic plant pot would work well. Line with tinfoil or plastic wrap. Cut a large hole in the bottom of the pot and the tinfoil. Turn it upside down in the spot you want the bollard. Fill with quick-set concrete. When the concrete is set, take the pot with you so you can make more, the foil should keep it from sticking. If you can work out a way to get some metal wire into the concrete form before you pour, it’ll be much stronger.

    Downsides to this could be getting enough concrete and water to the site- shit is heavy. Also, while it should be set in an hour or two, getting knocked by a car right away might kill it.











  • I love how all the answers so far are for 13-14 inch laptops.

    Look at the Surface line. The Pros are 12.5 inches and the Gos are 10.5. There’s a lot of used ones out there that can be had cheap.

    My Go 2 gets terrible battery life running Linux, 2-2.5 hours, I’ve heard is a lot better on Windows but I never tried.

    I thought I would hate the kickstand and floppy keyboard, but it works better than I thought.
