https://www.researchgate.net/publication/315398069_Effect_of_Sugar_on_Setting-Time_and_Compressive_Strength_of_Concrete

And I quote: Beyond 0.06% use of sugar it is found that the both initial and final setting times drastically reduces.

and a ton is 2000 lbs and we need only 0.1% to 0.2% of the mass to be sugar to significantly reduce setting times and cause concrete to be prone to crumbling Or 2 to 4 lbs for those that can't math.

So not far off in terms of sabotage but not precisely correct in terms of the exact effects produced.

But the lesson can be better generalized, altering things from the engineered specification can with only subtle actions make breaking changes.

Like the loading dock manager in the 1980s in Intel that cost them billions by opening the wafer containers and trying to count them... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGFhc8R_uO4

well; if I start with this: https://www.hvsc.c64.org/downloads Which is 58K songs in 80MB (which is enough to last several lifetimes)

Or I could get a mod tracker and some files from ftp://ftp.modland.com/pub/playlists/ and I would have the ability in a few 100 MB to make the type of music I enjoy (It would take 150GB to get every sample of every sound used in the entire world)

Hit up https://www.pouet.net/prodlist.php if you want a bunch of awesome demos ranging from 32 bytes all the way up to 32KB per

unxz.c is 60KB of code and everything you need to build it from source (with literally nothing but hex) only takes up 1.4MB of space https://github.com/oriansj/stage0-posix/

and with unxz, untar and ungz basically Text compresses extremely well and you'll have a hundred lifetimes of books thanks to https://gutenberg.org/

But movies like S1m0ne (2002), Sneakers (1992) and Colossus - The Forbin Project (1970) could also fit too.

bah, https://github.com/fosslinux/live-bootstrap

you don't even need a terminal or a prompt to bootstrap every tool you need.

If you can alt-p, type the names of programs, alt-tab and alt-shift-tab: i3 or sway

if not xfce is as user friendly as a window's user needs.

ERC, why leave Emacs?

Didn't Guix solve that one with its full-source bootstrap?

50MB for a sub POSIX kernel and a shell prompt for a 50MB ISO image that has less functionality than a 4KB kernel (L4SEC) which has actual formal proofs of correctness.

Well, I guess it has Rust as a selling point but that isn't something that should matter if the goal is real security.

neck

That is already a thing.

7% of all men will orgasm instantly if a firm pressure is applied to the back of the neck where the spine connects to the skull during sex. only 2% of women have that same biological feature.
