“Example? Well, I had a pony that came over to me with broken headphones. They were nearly new, but he couldn’t hear nearly anything from the right speaker. What do I see upon disassembly? A cable that was so badly soldered that it nearly didn’t want to conduct anything. Quickest repair ever. Another case is when someone actually re-used parts from some older device. Parts that don’t last forever. After replacing them with brand new ones the thing worked for few more years without problem.”

“And then they talk about recycling…” Hippogriff chuckles. “I remember one pony from weather department who thought it would be a nice idea to take used rain clouds and recharge them over nearby river. He thought it would be faster than making a new bunch. Well, as the result city got a downpour instead of planned drizzle.”
