That is a methpipe...a straight glass tube filled with steel wool would be a crack pipe... don't want that awkward silence and judgement from addicts when you call it the wrong name!!!
Damn. I wrote meth and changed it to crack at the last second. I have let my addict heritage down. My father would be disappointed if he wasn't so high right now. :(
I'm NOT a fucking METHHEAD!
...I'm a crackhead. Get it right!
Old joke:
Don't hang out with methheads.
A crackhead will steal your wallet.
A methhead will steal your wallet then help you look for it.
They are starting to rip out the cables used in car chargers. It's only 2m long, costs £300 to replace and the thief strips out £4 worth of copper.
In turkey there are a lot of people who gather cardboard for recycling for a wage of about 30-40 dollars a day
Is the USA version of this just pulling copper?
Stealing copper, getting under older cars and cutting out catalytic converters, yes. Copper is not a big money maker but it's better than collecting aluminum cans.
The problem with 90% of crime is poverty. They do hundreds of dollars of damage to make a few bucks. If we had universal basic income or better safety nets these crimes would nearly vanish overnight.

Well, except that it's nearly always super damaging.
The US version would be more like collecting cans back when they had a 5 or 10 cent deposit. Today I can't really think of anything like that. Maybe driving Uber/Lyft. Or just panhandling/begging.

If this is how the Western world arrives at harm reduction and UBI for everyone - that it's just good business - I'm not even gonna be mad.

We have crackheads in Aus, maybe we need to steer them towards our copper cable so they can rip it up and our government will actually give us the NBN we were promised, with full fiber all the way.
Honestly not a bad idea, I approve.
Modern day problems require modern day solutions
I haven't played netrunner in ages, but I still love the shitty australian internet corp is the evil surveilance corp from netrunner

Never trust a copper.
I want like 1 ft of carrier bundle fiber optic, because I think it's cool as shit.
Every time I see one of the spools I want to go up and hack a foot off of it but I wouldn't want to come off as a tweaker.
Never heard of these?
those are boring, i want hunks of cable, undersea cable, backbone cable, local telco.
what can I say, I probably have issues :)
Ask the f'n Russians and Chinese, they might have a huge ass bundle hanging off an anchor.

I do cable a lot for my work. I have probably a mile of cat 6 at this point. I do fiber too, and yes I want a big chunk of undersea cable to make art with.
Edit, I accidentally replied my own comment:
Honestly we just throw chunks of fiber away. For our purposes, if it's over 320 feet it's going to be fiber anyway. I made the mistake one time of underestimating the amount of fiber I'd need and cost my company a lot of money. Now I always over order and the extra goes in the trash because it's worthless. Next time you see guys doing fiber they might just have some scrap fiber to give you.
A few weeks ago I had a guy come up to me and jokingly say hey you should give me some of that copper line. I was feeling generous and gave him an unopened 1000ft box of cat6. Don't tell my boss!
Edit edit- it was plenum, and the good stuff that goes for $300+ on eBay, please don't tell my boss. I never sell it because I like my job.

No, I get you. The artifacts for these you see at museums are impressive. The bigger ones would make some great bookends.
Those are truly amazing. Even the giant honking old stuff on the poles is kinda neat.
could you imagine splicing stuff like this?

How valuable is optic fiber "cables" anyway? 🤔
It's very valuable as a cable, but as material, it's worthless. Pull on it to hard, give it a rough bend, cute it anywhere, and it isn't a cable anymore.
cute it anywhere
Resist the urge to put kitty stickers on fiber optic cables. Got it.

But fibre does form a crucial part of a healthy diet. Much on fibre optic cables while you sweat hard to dig up the real copper.
Me when I keep moving a super strong monster magnet of 10¹⁰ >!(I forgor the unit of measurement for magnetic strength)!< near the copper wire:
(Suddenly the copper shits itself)
The unit is Tesla. For reference, the earths magnetic field is around 50 μT on the surface (depending on latitude), and MRI machines have 1.5 T or 3 T. So your 10¹⁰ T might just nail you to the earth's iron core 😂
Nail me harder down to the core, magnet daddy.
