I’ve had those things before. But there is maintenance and power to factor in; so not entirely free.

Pretty sure FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) is for deposits only, not debts. The politicians would never let their donors suffer.
From several years ago Experian was.
AT&T helped share my info more recently also; so many breaches anymore.
They already have mine (multiple times); thanks US government/Experian/etc.
Hugh government bail out (American here). Taxpayer gets stuck with the bill. Companies loose nothing (probably make even more than way).
Rejects from the plane assembly line. Now that’s scary!
MULE (c64) and Hack/Nethack (x86).
Actually, this is Clark County Indiana (not Nevada). But I’m sure there is plenty of corruption to go around.
What are we going to do tomorrow night Brain?
Where’s Major Tom?
So you had Yahoo email too 😉
They can have him, I don’t want him; he’s too (everything horrible) for me.
Well, I and my AD&D group tried:
About once a year, we would play an “evil group”. We were trying to capture a silver dragon to enslave it (a good creature). To attract it, we locked the men and women of the town in the church and set it on fire. Still not evil enough to get it’s attention. So . . . we started throwing the children/babies in the fire too.
That did it!
comparison to electric furnaces. That has been widely known for years to be hilariously inefficient.
By this, I’m thinking you mean “electric resistance heating” - i.e an electric heater.
Electric resistance heat is 100% efficient. Heat pumps can easily be 200%+ efficient.
Not in 'merica it don’t!
So many people I’ve met don’t have a clue about critical thinking/reasoning.
Farming - family has been doing it for ~5 generations. I’d say we have put in about $10 M dollars over time (adjusted for inflation).
What’s that dear? It’s a way of life/occupation . . . are you sure? Seems like it must be a hobby given the return we’ve made on it over the years. Well, if you’re sure.
My wife said that farming is technically an occupation and not a hobby. I still have my doubts given how much we have thrown away on it over the years, but I don’t like to disagree with her (she’s usually right).
I once abused an SMTP relay (my own) by emailing Novell a 400+ MB memory dump. Their FTP site kept timing out.
After all that, and them swearing they had to have it, the OS team said “Nope, we’re not going to look at it”. Guess how I feel about Novell after that?
This was in the mid-90’s.
