A massed point particle is technically an object, literally speaking. It is just a very fuzzy object.

With a good pickaxe you can pick just about anything.

Oh yeah? Try to pick up fruit. See what happens

[Rolan7]

Oh it'll get picked alright.  I'll pick it up but good.
Could probably even eat the fruit afterward.  Unless it's a grape.  Not sure about coconuts, probably too messy.

Agreed. Wouldn't trust anyone who likes grapes that much

If it's good enough you can probably even pick up prospective partners at the bar.

Just scoop it up with the wide-side of the pickaxe

Dear God, that was hilarious and awful at the same time. Who made that originally?

Just make sure to wedge it between their ribs!

[Helgoland]

That's not where I'd be fixing to wedge it.

So yeah... I dunno exactly what's going on there, if they were testing a refurb or something, or returned it, or tossed the wrong box in the shipping package, or whatever, but it checks out hardware wise and such, so I ain't about to send it back for a slower one when I can just do a quick powerwash (ctrl+alt+shift+r > confirm reset > wait a sec) and boom, good as new!

Now it's up and running and kicking ass hard enough that when I noticed the little red dot on the "i" in "Thinkpad" pulsing as it charges, I dubbed it The Chrominator, come vit me if yoo vant to go on da intahnets!

Something similar happened to my parents.  I have a really nice TV in my living room because when they ordered their (nicer) TV, they got a second (still very large) one.  For free.  No one told them why but no one asked for it back either.  So now I got a free TV.

[Dunamisdeos]

I got a TV story.

So when I first got married I did not have a couch because we were are poor. My bud is a fancypants submarine nuclear engineer in the navy and therefore has more money than the local oil sheik so he got us a gift card to Rooms-to-Go so we could get a couch. Turns out we got there on the last day of their memorial day sale and they were trying to get rid of all their crap. So for that gift card we got a sectional couch, end table, lamp, cocktail ottoman, entertainment center and a 70" top-of-the-line TV.

So then the TV craps out after like a month. Luckily I bought insurance. I take it to Best Buy, they take it, and 4 weeks later they bring it back. I plugged it in and they had shattered the entire screen. So I bring it back, they were super nice about it, and I ended up getting a BETTER TV, an extra 5 year insurance plan on it then what I had before, and a free upgrade to my phone. I got the S7 edge back when it first came out and paid squat.

As far as I'm concerned they can break it again sometime if they like.
