Heh, a business partner of mine did this to a guy who kept blocking his warehouse exit with a van. After several polite attempts to get him to stop, he took a bunch of fish guts, left them in the sun in a plastic bag for a couple of weeks and then poured the resulting goop into the air ducts. The van was never seen again.

Moving a fish task without removing the water is some prime schad thread material.

Tagra posted:Moving a fish task without removing the water is some prime schad thread material. When my nightmare downstairs neighbour was finally evicted, out of morbid curiosity I asked the landlords/store owners if I could check out the place. It was like something out of a SAW movie, flickering lights or no lights at all in some rooms, a bathroom that looked like it had been dug out of the ground and left without walls or a floor, a weird film all over the kitchen space... But the thing that struck me most was the giant, murky, stinky aquarium in one of the lightless rooms. I didn't investigate further than a glance, but I remember the guy enjoyed fishing in the river (in downtown Toronto) and I feel like he told me something about keeping trout and whatever. It was disgusting. I wonder how the landlords got all the water out of the place. Maybe they didn't, maybe they didn't clean the place at all, because the basement has been vacant since he left.

There is something really uniquely loving disgusting about the smell of an uncared for aquarium.

When we finally went to clear it out we found that they had just fused together into a block and wasps had built right into them.

steinrokkan posted:I feel calling tv weekly"vintage magazine" is overselling the scale of the loss. 'Vintage' just means 'at least 20 years old' so anything from before 2005 is vintage. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is vintage. Also my friend runs a scifi collectables stall so if he saved that particular magazine it probably had an interview with some obscure British scifi actor or something

I doubt that a Pac-Man cabinet from 1980 is going to work in 2080 without some extensive replacement of electronics, and at some point it becomes an arcade of Theseus. But if we consider just the software then if we could preserve all the data so that even WW3 wouldn't wipe it out, then later civilizations could recover the binaries etched on golden plates and hidden in a mountain cave, build an emulator and play Big Rigs thousands of years from now.

Antique is maybe wrong term to use for software, it is better probably more comparable to ancient classics like Cicero or Plato. What types of data are going to survive from our time, and what kind of picture will they give of us to people 1000 years after us?
