Back in the late '80s and early '90s my brother and I would run all over the parking lots while our mom was in the store, and return all the carts. We would see how big of a stack we could manage to get moving while we were at it. IIRC our record was 43 carts. We really wanted to hit 50, but I think that was just too much mass for us to handle.

I don't clear the lot anymore, but I do park out by the edge of a lot, if I brought my car, and pick up any carts on the way into the store.

    Nails are stupidly easy to make compared to a large sheet of metal. I wouldn't call most guillotine head separators, "blades." The sharpness doesn't matter, as long as the thing weighs enough, it will slice through. The diagonal matters more than the sharpness. Heating up that much metal and laminating/ heat welding it into a solid piece takes a fuckton of work, and half a fuckton of coal.

    I can make you a nail in 4 hits of a hammer, and I'm not a good smith. I know masters that can do it in 3 hits.

    60 years ago techies decided that technology couldn't be trusted, because it is programmed by humans. I've yet to meet any programming wizards or seasoned IT personnel that adopt the latest crap. We've always distrusted our creations. We know how many mistakes we made while making them, that we weren't able to fully fix.

    This documentary will show you what the US billionaires say about you and I. It will also show you what happens when you're a part of that system, and speak up about it.

    Simply put I have built a gaming tower that I have no monitor that will connect with the machine only having a BIOS and no OS. As I understand it, I need something that will connect with an HDMI cable, but that seems to be either a traditional monitor or a tablet. I'm completely unsure which would be more stable, and therefore "better." I lean towards the normal static monitor over HDMI enabled tablets, but I am uncertain if that is just me being out of touch with the latest hardware.

    This is the build list I used, except I doubled the RAM to 64 GB of the same type.
