Yeah, you ain’t wrong. Honestly I think, and this is from having spent many years working as a local gov employee or as a contractor with local gov, the budget system. I mean the gov trying to be involved in all the shit they are is really the main problem, but if they’d run each dept on a sink or swim basis and let them basically provide whatever service they’re providing and if it doesn’t turn enough revenue it gets closed down you’d see a lot less of this. But in the current system, what happens is at the end of the year everybody finds random shit to upgrade or spend money on so they use up all of their budget and can argue for more on the next round. If they don’t use it, their budget gets reduced. It’s really a system that encourages massive amounts of waste, because even a good dept head in a libertarian or anarchist sense is stuck, because maybe he had a year where he didn’t have to spend much of his budget but he knows next year likely won’t be the same, and instead of being able to maintain his budget the people above him would take it from him, and then lay the blame on him the next year when he was operating on a deficit.

One of the first work orders we did for this county was clearing out the old computers from the IT dept. we hauled two of those dump trailers full of old desktops, laptops, toughbooks and toughpads. It was wild. All to the recycling center. Not sure what else could be done with them but it just blew my mind how much tech was going to the scrap pile.

It basically could. We had one other lord we hauled back before I was aware of nostr. I’d guess somewhere around 600 monitors give or take a hundred

Well, finally finished with the closet of forgotten tech. Don’t ask me how many monitors are in that pile…

Badass!

LETS FUCKIN GOOOOOOOO

Ain’t it all? Junk is just stuff you get rid of 2 weeks before you need it.

Absolutely not…unless it’s some good shit….

And I have an ongoing purge. If I come across something I had forgotten and it has been a while since I forgot, it either goes to scrap or trash. Scrap gets run whenever I have a trailer full lol

Look now, don’t tease me, I’m liable to come across one and be like “hell yeah my dude was looking for one of these!!” This job does not help my innate hoarder self at all. I’ve brought home like a dozen toughbooks, like 6 tiny format PCs…have I done anything with any of them other than put ubuntu on it and then set them aside? Nope…one of these days I am gonna order an SSD and put one of them tinys to work as a BTC node but that day ain’t come yet lol

But what if stacking monitors is how I stack sats?

‘Nother day, ‘nother couple hundred monitors….

I do tend to bury any veggie or fruit scraps, if only to try and mitigate the flies. Flies don’t really hurt anything, they’re just annoying and maggots fall through my drain screen into my worm juice bucket and make that bucket STANK. Not that work juice is very pleasing anyway lol

We were moving them all to the County’s IT dept, they’re apparently trying to reuse them for employees working remotely.

Thanks!!

You should be good. I run my worm bins on 99% shredded cardboard/paper. I throw in whatever cuttings from our plants we have and whatever vegetable kitchen scraps I can. Started my bin last summer, had more worms than I knew what to do with when the temps warmed back up for this spring.

Hey! Lettie!! Glad to hear your youngins are doing good! I’m Matt McKinney, I was in the fireside freedom telegram. Believe it or not we’ve actually got a second on the way already, she’s due September of this year…definitely did not plan that lol

Oh it won’t, just means I might actually have a challenge. I been plotting on them boys for ages lol that and all my friends are just as trollish as I am, it’s gonna be great lol

While I’m glad you’re happy to have gotten the sharpie removed, I’m now somewhat disappointed that I’m not gonna get to name chickens by their bin labels lol
