I tripped over a cord once and broke the screen on my laptop. I salvaged the disk for another purpuse. But I got some prime hardware here, it's got video output, it's got ram, and a cpu!

Neoliberals: so what you are saying is we should avoid competing at all cost? Sure! No efficency! Only profits!
Same trick will work next year too!
Don't forget that sometimes you also do work for that journal, telling them if a paper is good enough or not for them, and also basically don't get payed.
I got one of those too. I called the customer service to get another path home because of disturbances, and they just have robot answering. The robot started halfway through the call just reading pure json at me, and then said "to get this information as a message press 1" or something. This is what I got:
