Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

So your saying I should take my battery powered grinder, saw-za, and crack pipe to a data center?
I'm saying you should do that even if there wasn't a material incentive
so you're saying that are more valuable now?
I passed by a mechanic's shop a couple of years ago that had a big lit-up sign out front that said "WE BUY CATALYTIC CONVERTERS". I hope it was a honeypot but I dunno.
You bastards, I had one stolen on winter morning I had to get my kid to hospital in Helsinki. Of course car was not driveable.
How is a car undrivable without a CAT? Is this some weird modern car thing?
Yeah, new features like oil pipes hacked by clumsy thieving monkeys
Ah, yup. That'll do it.
Sori siit
But not a long-term future proof job, cos of BEV replacing ICE cars.
I saw something on Big Clyde today, it was a mini cat element that goes in between your o2 sensor and the exhaust. makes em pass :)
