@heathen_cat @catsalad I've always called it a "technical tap"

If you have a "please come loose" then you can add a 12' pipe (~4m) and then instead of fighting the wheel lug nut, you can twist the bolt off entirely.

Hey look buddy, I'm in IT. That means I solve problems. Not problems like “what is beauty,” because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy.

I solve practical problems. For instance, how'm I gonna stop some big crashing server from tearing my organization an economically-disadvantageous new downtime?

The answer: use a hard reset, and if that don't work, use a *harder* reset.

Reminds me of the lock on a trailer that the driver lost the key. Bolt cutters would not work. But the 1500 watt motor of the large angle grinder with aggregate friction vaporized that metal in a few seconds. We studied that lock in the shop.

We had the oxy-acetylene torch on the cart, but never had to use it for a lock. The battery friction grinders these days appear to be at least 2500 watts, which will drop anything known.
