Fair enough, I agree the situation is mildly infuriating, whatever the reason you wanted it. A lot of restaurant/pub chains over here will throw out extra food if they prepped too much, rather than letting staff take it, probably because they don’t want people creating waste on purpose but also don’t want to spend the minimal effort required to stop people abusing the system if they allowed people to take excess food home. The distrust of low paid workers leads to most stores being unable to deal with special requests unless you are speaking to the manager and I don’t know where I’m going with this…

If it’s so much effort to try and get fat trimmings from butchers, why not just buy a block of lard from the supermarket?

High discharge 18650s can provide 20-30 amps, doubt the lamp needs that much current if it’s powered off older battery tech

That’s fair

If you wanted to try to make your original rubber band idea work, you could try moving the central dart up slightly so that the rubber band forms a triangle shape and adjust the contact points between the rubber band and the darts to be at each corner of that triangle

If you’re using BTRFS and know how to/are prepared to learn, just create separate sub volumes instead of multiple partitions. Means that you don’t need to decide how to split up space between different partitions and they are easy to delete without a live USB.
