what if you had to use every part in your collection?

What kind of crazy things would happen if you had to use every part in your collection boxes?

Can you even imagine it?

Define 'use' ?

I mean, I could mix them with concrete and build a wall with the cast concrete bricks.

I maintain that the best use for a great many parts, currently sitting unused on shelves as they have been since they were made decades ago, involves compressed air and a dart board. Got a tube of original 74 series logic gates, or a job lot of 555 timers? Try to hit the bullseye from the other side of the lab, and no points for a part that bounces out.

Given that I can have almost anything I actually need delivered free to my front door next day, I see no reason to waste valuable space on a random 'collection' of parts at all. I keep a simple lab stock of totally generic items like resistors and wire, but that's all. Any other parts I have are just the surplus from when I've bought complete kits for projects and not built them all up for some reason.

I wonder, what would be the optimum barrel geometry and gas pressure to shoot the old OS-CONs I have taking up space on my top shelf?

I'd give them away and likely enable a hoarder. Like giving heroine to an addict... I feel guilty but it is so easy to have junk picked up instead of bringing it to the dump  >:D
