Dude none of us were there to oversee the tow. When was the last time you heard of anyone ripping off the entire front bumper and damaging the undercarriage during a normal tow operation of a little sedan? You'd have to go to some serious effort to fuck that up. That or you're towing a pile of rust. Hyundai's are/were notorious for body corrosion which would be the most probable culprit.

It was probably rusted out in the body. Some stuff you can tow safely and some you can't.

Good news! That LLM isn't sentient. Crisis averted.

Wow, good thing you aren't a major campaign manager with the DNC. They'd be screwed with you spouting that rhetoric.

Not anymore it isnt.

The DRAM market was depressed before the AI boom started, so if it ever returns to previous conditions, you may be right.
