Get a friend, load it into the car and drive by the nursing home and heave it onto their lawn!

First one there gets it!

I think that there is a Red Cross place you can donate things like this. I might still have the info around for it, but I ran into the same issue after my mom passed. She had a walker and some other things like that, which were virtually unused and it was hard to find someone for them. At the same time, there have to be some people in need. It’s a perplexing scenario.

I feel like a race isn't the best way to decide who gets the new walker.

They have a sign about how mining for some of the minerals affects the gorillas iirc.

I think a lot of them get recycled for the metals (or re-used if still decent).

The Zoo makes the Gorillas mine for minerals? And here I thought the Manta Ray incident was bad enough, what kind of operation are they running over there?

I suppose they're not doing much else most of the time so they may as well grab a pickaxe and get to work.

Where does one even get a Gorilla-sized hard-hat with one of those little lights on it?
