ULPT I need a way to move 13 2000lbs pallets of margarine side to side and then down into a 6ft hole and then cover it with dirt
It must be quiet and fast. I'm not opposed to renting heavy machinery but they must be quiet and able to be operated in low light conditions. For the record, I don't think there's anything unethical about this, but it was recommended I post here and I'm desperate.
The margarine cannot be harmed, no melting or changing its shape of any kind. Afterwards, I will dig it up and whatever is left I will need to either dissolve in some kind of acid or burn it someway that has little clean up. Thank you.[user’s post history]

What might happen to someone if they were to consume say, 3lbs of margarine every day for a month?

Curious about the ramifications of keeping large pallets of margarine underground for extended periods of time?
If I were to put a few large pallets of margarine underground (stored in cardboard boxes in plastic wraps) would it melt?
Would the temperature be sufficient to maintain the solid state of margarine? I'm thinking about 6ft deep. Thank you.

Looking for a method to transport a 2000lbs pallet of margarine into 6ft deep holes and cover them?

What is the easiest way to slide a 2000lbs pallet of margarine into holes an inch wider on each side and approximately 6ft down?
It will need to be done in low light areas, preferably without any hired help. I'm trying to keep it as quiet and as fast as possible.
Thank you

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.
