i really want to know if anyone has told him the thing i keep repeating, that landfills run a huge magnet over all the trash to suck out any ferrous metal so they can sell it for scrap because i feel like he should really be told that. over and over.

even if it were an SSD it probably would still get stuck to the magnet and dumped into the big metal shredder with everything else

there was a bit in a tv show I watched when i was little showing how they could try to salvage something that was accidentally thrown away, you had to like figure out when it was thrown away and where and search the truck schedule and figure out which truck it was in then search through the contents of that truck using clues from newspapers and local garbage to see if you could track it down but this was all when the garbage was still in the truck, trying to do it a decade later is hilarious

He wants to convert the landfill into a power station as well as build some wind turbines and also give everyone in the city (~300k) £50 each. The council really should just send him a birdbath with an old drive nailed to the bottom.

That's a pretty cavalier attitude about something that can straight-up land you in jail edit: like, a former Speaker of the US House of Representatives (Dennis Hastert) spent 13 months in prison for it aw frig aw dang it fucked around with this message at 18:24 on Aug 2, 2022 |

a lot of bitcoiners have interpreted "you might have to answer questions if you transfer more than $10k" as "the banking system makes it literally impossible to transfer more than $10k", probably because they can't conceive of not doing tax evasion

I kinda hope that landfill guy is a grifter, convincing some crypto-rich "investors" to give him fiat for all these ridiculous plans that will clearly never pan out (and paying himself the whole time). The alternative is just too sad.

aw frig aw dang it posted:That's a pretty cavalier attitude about something that can straight-up land you in jail typically its that structuring results in the feds looking hard at why you are structuring, then nailing you for the crime you're trying to cover up and tacking on structuring it is especially stupid for politicians to do it because then the feds think they're trying to hide bribe money, which is why the feds nailed elliot spitzer for hiring hookers: because he kept paying for them in suspiciously-close-to-$10k payments, so the anti-corruption group went hard on finding out what he was up to and when they found out it was only hookers and not public corruption, well, they'd spent all that time so they might as well charge him for it

Hastert went to prison because he was a pedophile, op. they found out he was a pedophile because he was structuring payments so, a pretty important lesson for bitcoiners

could a hard drive even survive for 10 years under garbage? like i thought water just kind of permeates through the garbage during its fementation (some steps which produce acids) until it's capped at some point in the future. not to mention i think they tend to run hot since they're actively fermenting and it's not a nice cool ground temperature. comedy option: it was actually illegal to throw away e-waste at the time so the local prosecutor charges him and seizes the laptop once he finds it, then uses the captured funds to improve the community.

Gun Metal Cray posted:oh poo poo, it's gonna be oak island all over again I knew a person who lived on-site at a self-storage site that had once been used to stash some of the gold that Madalyn Murray O'Hair's killer had stolen. They had to live on-site, because the site needed to have 24/7 security for all of the treasure hunters and thieves who would try to break into units or comb the grounds to find the remainder of the missing gold (despite the fact that there wasn't any missing gold, it had all been stolen pretty shortly after being stored there). Treasure hunting has this charismatic appear that can really override a person's better judgement.
