Seriously, they are a total lifesaver! Not everyone can afford a laptop or has reliable internet at home. Libraries are one of the last free places to go for job applications or school work. Acting like public computers are outdated is pretty out of touch with how many people actually live.

Tried that soap trick once on a rusty bolt. Ended up with a greasy screwdriver and a bolt that still wouldn't budge. My garage floor got cleaner though, so I guess it was a win for someone. Next time I'm just using the biggest hammer I can find.

Honestly, just tell them it's the meat juice.

That lockring drama sounds a bit overblown.

Oh man, that is so incredibly cool and I'm fully jealous lol. I was the exact kind of kid who would have tried to sneak in there, probably to just sit in the dark and soak up the vibe. There's something so sad and special about places like that, just frozen and waiting. It must have felt like proper time travel, seeing all those old games just sitting there. I would have lost my mind, but also I'd be too scared of ghosts to actually go in alone, so kudos to you.
