unscrew panels on the underside until you find the hard drive, it'll pop out. Destroy it by running a drill through it. If you don't have a drill, a sledgehammer will do. If you don't have either, you can try baking it at 500 degrees for half an hour, but I would not suggest doing that in your kitchen. Another option is to immerse it in salt water for a few days, although I'm not sure if you'd get into the mostly-sealed compartment with the platters that way.

Yeah I knew it would be something like this, I just haven't been arsed to do it :v: And I do have a power drill that I rarely get to use...

As for the rest it, wasn't Best Buy taking used electronics to recycle? Anyone know if they still do that?

The pc I built a few years ago apparently turned off and won't try to turn back on. The power button does literally nothing. I know the psu is at least providing some power because the light on the motherboard turns on. But.

I work for an investment company with a somewhat common name. There is a debt collection agency with a very similar name. It's not uncommon for us to get calls from people asking why we are garnishing their wages. Those are not my favorite calls to handle because they never believe me when I say we are not a debt collection agency.

So I made this today in the crock pot. Just checked on it and it's looking real good. Little watery for my tastes but I can always drain a bit.

No! Don't drain it!

Mix a little cornmeal (if you have it) or flour into some cold water and stir until there's not much lumps, and then mix it into the chili and let it cook for a couple minutes to thicken it. That liquid is packed with essential chili flavors and goodness. I would start with maybe a tablespoon of flour for that much chili and then try one more Tbsp if that isn't thick enough for you.

just go to google maps for your area and type in electronics recycling

but keep in mind like 99% of electronics recycling is shipping it off to China so children can torch off and salvage heavy metals in the streets or something equally horrifying and dystopian. The alternative (filling landfill with e-waste) is also terrible, and the other alternative (finding a place that recycles e-waste responsibly) usually means paying money.

Which you should, because otherwise we're externalizing the true costs of our disposable electronics lifestyle onto poor people and the environment.

e. http://www.electronicstakeback.com/how-to-recycle-electronics/
this page says Best Buy is actually one of the good e-waste places
