A lot of shit happened in the past on 9/11, especially in German history. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_9

I interpret it differently. I have seen plenty of people putting up huge barriers of entry for themselfes before trying out a new hobby. They like the idea of a new hobby and try to hold themselves hostage with a huge investment, or in sad cases overspend because they go in badly informed. “Once I have spend so much money it’s impossible I won’t be able to motivate myself to keep going” oh no, it required more effort than buying stuff, I gave it away… I think persistance is indeed more important than the best gear. Get going and borrow/second hand what you need until you know you have the routine to make better equipment worthwhile. Get to know fellows who can help you make informed decisions after a few sessions. The climbing shoes in your basement don’t help climbing halls to stay open. The table saw you never use doesn’t help wood demand and availability in your area.

Because they are students? Both are high demand professions, I don’t get it.

I took into account that OP’s domain is from the UK, where everybody calls each other a cunt and therefore lifes a cunt’s life by default.

Kutleven!

(The Dutch attach genitals or diseases to words to turn them into swearwords. This one is often used for “shit life” but it literally means “vagina life” which I find very fitting and ironic in this context)

I too want to open a business where both customers and suppliers pay me. Do you know any more gullible sectors? Academics are pretty extorted already it seems.

I just checked: A 128gb ide ssd (industrial!) costs €170, I wouldn’t invest that either into a throwaway system. And its the biggest you can get.
