The bed is located in the corner of the living room. Donaldson previously spoke about his decision to live a frugal lifestyle on the TMG podcast. 'I think one of the traps of modern humans is just living a materialistic life and just chasing s**t non-stop. For what? Why does it matter?,' he said. 'We just chase bigger and bigger boxes to live in, faster and faster cars. Why? Why not just skip all that and do fun s**t?'

Change reroutes US14 in Pierre to avoid an oft-hit bridge
PIERRE, S.D. (KELO) — US14 is being officially rerouted through Pierre to shift traffic away from a railroad bridge that's often been struck by taller vehicles such as trucks and RVs passing beneath it. Buffalo Chip announces rally lineup The South Dakota Transportation Commission approved the rule change during a teleconference on Thursday. The intention is that US 14 traffic would no longer travel through the heart of Pierre and no longer need to go under the Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern bridge that crosses over Pierre Street. Instead, US 14 traffic would take what currently is known as the US 14B bypass on Garfield Avenue at the eastern edge of Pierre. The new route will be labeled as US 14. The hope is that automated mapping services will reflect the change. Standard traffic signs warn motorists of the bridge's clearance of 11 feet, 3 inches and a nearby Pierre law firm also has an electronic sign advising that the bridge is low. Nonetheless semi trucks still get stuck under the bridge month after month and RVs sometimes lose cooling units or other items from their roofs. The change also affects traffic using US 83 through Pierre. US 83 and US 14 follow the same route through South Dakota's capital city. There were no comments from the public at the hearing Thursday. The re-designation corresponds to the Legislature's passage of Senate Bill 39 earlier this year at the request of the South Dakota Department of Transportation. The goal is to have the re-designation take effect on July 1 at the same time as the legislation does. This comes as portions of Pierre Street and Euclid Avenue are in the first year of a two-year reconstruction project. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

2,000 tonnes of gold: China says new technology helped find largest known deposits
Scientists say they have discovered two potentially record-smashing 1,000-tonne gold deposits in central and northeastern China, and more discoveries could come with the use of advanced exploration technology. Advertisement If proven, these deposits could be among the largest in the world, and even surpass the largest known gold deposit in South Africa. China is the world's largest producer of gold ore, reaching an output of 377 tonnes last year, according to the China Gold Association. While China is holding on to the top spot in gold production, it falls behind countries such as South Africa, Australia and Russia in proven gold mine reserves Gold is not only a means to insulate financial systems from the vulnerabilities of fiat currencies, but also plays a role in the development of electronics, and even aerospace components, because of its properties. Despite scepticism from some experts over reserve estimates, the discovery of two large gold deposits could help China maintain its pace of gold production and prevent a decline in output. Advertisement The first deposit discovery made headlines in November when in central China the Hunan province geological bureau announced it had found a super-large gold deposit with estimated reserves of more than 1,000 tonnes of gold, which could be worth more than 600 billion yuan ($US83 billion).
