      I’m the last year I’ve needed exactly 2 m.2 standoffs and been able to produce them from my pile of shite, continue with installing the drives and not spent an extra few quid on getting them delivered. I will continue to use this to justify hoarding power tools and wood.

      For me, I live rurally so yes, I can order one but it’ll take at least a week to get here. Or I can spend as much on gas as the cord costs and waste my time making a special trip into town to get it sooner

      Mind you, I still hoarded cords when I lived in a city. Now I can finally justify it
