Hardware failure

[unixronin]

No, for once I’m not talking about computer hardware dying unexpectedly.  I’m talking about this.

This is the bolt securing the access hatch to our attic.  Can you say “unclear on the concept”?  I hadn’t really looked at it before.

After fixing ...

And notice the use of advanced modern hard-disk technology to make environmentally sensitive recycled spacers for the hasp!  (Yes, those spacers came out of a dead hard disk.  They used to hold head-servo magnets apart.  See, you knew there’d be failed computer hardware involved here somewhere, didn’t you?  And you were right.)

...so the bolt was installed like that in the first place? Truly boggleworthy...

Astounding, innit?
