fun fact: street vehicles are still being used to transport data around. for large amounts of data, it’s faster and cheaper to write it on a disk, then ship the disk, instead of transporting it over the internet.
One time I looked at a 1tb microSD card and decided there was no fucking way that much data could fit into something so small. Ever since that day, no microSD card has worked for me. They get I/O errors, each one. Suspecting this isn’t a coincidence might be my most schizophrenic thought.

Never underestimate the bandwidth of a Ford Taurus full of tapes screaming down the Jersey Turnpike.
I remember someone put a Micro SD card on a pigeon and sent it. Was faster.
