Ah ok, definitely skip bin then. Do you have local government refuse collection where you live?

This action was so fucked up and beyond my list of shitty things that the US might do that it honestly didn't occur to me and so when reading the headline I found it confusingly phrased but thought maybe it somehow meant there was some hint of support for the ICC's decision and warrants which would have been amazing. Imagine the rollercoaster for me when they actually managed to surprise me with a decision and stance worse than I could have imagined.

Good luck. I guess even second hand they're probably pretty good if you like golf, at least I mean maybe. I suppose they could be sucky clubs too. Hope you find someone that's into golf

I would say it might make a good re-gifting option to have on standby but, they're second hand, they're heavy and space consuming and, at least I personally, don't know anyone who plays golf either. Gift sucks.

Could you just actually drink coffee? I mean I guess the caffeine isn't necessarily the best for situations of anxiety, but I find a cup of coffee really relaxing and if it helps when it looks like you're drinking it I wonder if really drinking it wouldn't help similarly.

Yeh but then, if a person is genuinely obviously extremely attractive, or clearly has traits like a capacity to lead or influence people, or is objectively wealthy, or is clearly very smart, those are all things that come off as really conceited to the rest of us unless their acknowledgement is very careful. If such a person is too quick or too ready to acknowledge these things about themselves, despite their accuracy, we're pretty likely to think they're a dick. It seems like for people who are in some ways exceptional, the appropriate level of humility, wherever it is on the scale, does need to involve at least a little bit of pantomime and false modesty. The right size in such cases will need to be at least a little smaller than they really are, not too much smaller, or it's interpreted as disingenuous, but not exactly true to scale either.

Ayyye!

So is this intended as kind of a metaphor or is this mainly aimed at people who have literally stepped in real shit?

Didn't know they'd taken out the storage drives but I was aware despite my general ignorance that it's not turnkey ready to go. I guess what I'm wondering is, is there any part of the of the process involved in designing and building such a supercomputing cluster that is already taken care by buying it in the manner that it has been sold and could that in any way offset the increased costs of trying to bring such a cluster online rather than starting from scratch? I'm not saying it is the case, so much as wondering aloud for anyone with expertise to chime in, to see if that's a way it could make sense.

I understand there's a mountain to climb to bring this thing in to a usable state for anyone, but could it maybe get you to base camp more quickly?

Does the hardware being all so arranged as it is in this manner to create a supercomputer make any difference to that evaluation? Like does the work of putting all the outdated hardware together in the complex way needed to make it functional for supercomputing make it potentially cheaper than buying more modern hardware but having to build it all yourself?

???

Holy shit.
