Pull the tab off of a pop can. Turn off the switch on the power bar that the teachers computer is plugged into. Unplug the computer, slip the pop can tab over the live+neutral prongs, plug it back into the still off power bar and wait.

The teacher goes to use their computer, finds it's not turning on and looks at the power bar.

Switch flips, 'BANG', scream, lights go out (breaker popped).

FolderSync selectively syncs files/folders from my phone back to my server via ssh. Some folders are on a schedule, some monitor for changes and sync immediately; most are just one-way, some are two-way (files added to the server will sync back to the phone as well as uploading data to the server). There's even one that automatically drops files into paperless-ngx' consume folder for automatic document importing.

From there BorgBackup makes a daily backup of the data, keeping historical backups for years with absolutely incredible efficiency. I currently have 21 backups of about ~550gb each. Borg stores this in 447gb of total disc space.

The middle school that I went to had a ~14" crt tv hanging from a sturdy ceiling mount in every classroom.

Displayed things like school bulletins and daily morning announcements, there was a couple educational channels, and a vcr input. Every now and again there'd be some sort of presentation instead of hauling everyone into the gym for a school assembly.

Anyway; it didn't take me very long to figure out the universal remote that came with the satellite receiver at home could be programmed to the school TVs. I'd mess with the one in class, or skip classes and mess with the ones in my friends classrooms through the windows; cranking up the volume and blasting Bill Nye or the announcement channels awful elevator music. Weekends, I'd do a lap of the school turning on all the TVs I could reach from outside and maxing the volume for whoever opens on Monday, or just turning them off again so it blares at whoever turns it on next.

If I ever look up at the night sky and see a billboard shining down at me from space (literally or through some kind of mind/vision altering tech like nuralink) I'm becoming an anarchist.

The rust, sure; but the rain seeping down and pooling in the frame which has no drain holes, is not. Electronics don't like sitting in pools of water long term.

10 years after you hang that orange Turd we might think about it. Until then fuck off.

Pretty sure bottom right is just saying they don't mind if you go piss in the alley around back

That's another option. Sometimes there is no valve immediately beside the toilet, sometimes it's crusty af and won't turn or seal. This can be quicker.

Once the flapper lifts, it won't close again until the tank empties completely. If the toilet clogs and you try too many times to flush it down instead of breaking out the plunger right away; sometimes the water can't overflow out of the bowl fast enough to let the tank drain fully, so it just endlessly flows. Doesn't happen to all toilets, but it's still good to know when your toilet full of turds just won't stop dumping water on the floor.
