Nobody is producing lumber planning for several hundred years into the future. And that's what I'm talking about.
For modern lumber trees are grown for 20-40 years depending on location and type of tree. Whereas early on you're talking tons of trees that were hundreds of years old.
If you look at an old 2x4 vs a new one you can see the difference. The old one will have a much tighter growth rings than the new one. This is from it frowing slowly over many years.
But now they just want as much lumber as fast as possible.
My grandpa has a Vanagon but it's in kinda rough shape.
Body is pretty good but the interior is pretty much gone and it has electrical grimlins so it either starts and drives perfectly or just screams at you doesn't even attempt to start.
Most copiers can have a fax card added. And most businesses that need a fax machine don't even do that. They have their VoIP phone service set up a virtual fax machine. If it even needs a physical part it's probably a little black box in a network closet, but now most don't even do that.
Real fun thing, did you know faxed advertisements were and are still a thing? At work we get like 3 random ads each day that come out of the machine.
It is absolutely not a liability issue. Sale of a used car by someone who isn't a dealer is as-is where-is at least in my state and I assume most others. They can even do like some districts do with their busses; they pull the batteries and say it can't leave the property under its own power. So you get a tow truck to tow it 100ft down the road, chuck a battery in it and drive it away, then at that point you've "restored it" and anything wrong is something you missed.
