       | Tom7 is brilliant for anyone that hasn't seen him before. His
       | Reverse Emulation video (https://youtu.be/ar9WRwCiSr0) and Weird
       | Chess Algorithms (https://youtu.be/DpXy041BIlA) are a must watch.
       | His dead pan delivery coupled with the ridiculous amount of
       | effort he puts into things that don't _really_ matter is honestly
       | inspiring.

       | I had a large collection of hard drives that had caused
       | uncountable grief, we would relieve the stress by abusing the
       | drives. Unfortunately they have long since been disposed of, but
       | the collection included:
       | 
       | * subject drive to 100t press (it got thinner!)
       | 
       | * immerse drive in acid (little change) or base (drive
       | dissolves!)
       | 
       | * subject drive to industrial guillotine
       | 
       | * warm drive with oxy torch
       | 
       | * drop from 300 ft tower (little change)
       | 
       | and so on. All good fun.
