Mount nine of them on a square board so that they're all focused on a single point for a mild solar furnace.

Use the last one to look at yourself, the proud owner of a mild solar furnace.

You… don’t know what a floppy disk is, do you?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

I do, I just don't pay careful attention to details and just run with what I think things are saying.

My first computer was an Atari 520ST. No hard drive (its OS ran off a chip), and every program ran off a floppy. And your storage was on a floppy.

Yeah, I know floppies. I used to have shoeboxes of them.

What kind of floppies are you thinking of? the very little metal on those discs aren't that reflective.

I was too far in the future, using CDs. Floppies, wow.

Now I'm going to have to rethink my whole thing.
