You doxxed yourself, Marie Kondo! I knew all that server and Linux talk was just misdirection!

Hahaha. I just came to the realization that you don't own stuff, stuff owns you. The less I have, the more free I am. Live light, travel light and fast.

My wife keeps asking me to toss stuff i haven't used for a couple years. Reluctantly I sometimes agree. Invariably I find myself needing or wanting what I tossed months or a year later.

obvious the wifey was wrong and you should never toss anything ever again!

It's beginning to look like the mother and father of Gabby Petito are in the right for suing Brian Laundrie's parents.
A letter in Brian Laundrie’s backpack from his mom marked ‘burn after reading’ said she would help "dispose of a body."

Not a fan of overly long prison sentences, but warranted here. Not that it will matter. Trump will win in 2024 and pardon him.

Damn, I wish I could say you are insane for suggesting such a thing -- but I can't. Have I mentioned recently how glad I am to be 60 instead of 20?

I used to be a parts hoarder then I adopted the 50% rule. That is I ditch, at minimum, 50% of everything I own before I move. Makes moving easier and faster. If I had not touched or used something in 6 months, there is a very good chance I do not need it. Tools, artwork, and books are generally the only exceptions to that rule.

I keep two spare HDDs around for the file servers, a couple of replacement fans, on GPU, one CPU (of the correct socket type), and a couple of sticks of memory that are usable in the currently deployed systems. Everything else gets donated when I do a systems refresh. Keeps the clutter down and helps fulfill that 50% rule.

Blue, you missed a great tag line opportunity: "Confirmed: Uranus has an anus!"

I have two large plastic bins full of PC fans, even after throwing out all the crappy ones. Sigh...

Asphalt scams are very common around here. Same 3 or 4 guys keep coming around with a story that they are from out of town, and they just finished a job, but have some asphalt left over and they just have enough to do our driveway for an amazing price...
Buyer beware!
