RE: Finding A Restful Place, When the World is Collapsing

in #stress7 years ago

Brings to mind the slightly surreal parts of the very early days in the IT industry... before waste at computer OEMs became a "security" issue. When I worked at Dell, we'd have what we called "night crawlers" come out and dig through the giant dumpsters of trashed components and partial machines behind one of the buildings... digging for bits and pieces with trace amounts of gold and other salvage... it seemed like something out of Blade Runner.

Sort:  

Hoe many parts you need to have nowadays to fins some gold... a lot for 1 gram I guess..

Doesn't happen anymore-- all the waste goes through industrial shredders and is sent to commercial extraction plants in sealed containers.
