When I first did computer work (80's) it was on mainframe terminals. The mainframe was thirty miles or so away with it's own support team, buildings and everything. All the data we had to put in was in fixed format files... Legacy of punchcards. Lines in the file were 'cards', the file was a 'deck'

And they the devils work to type up.

Tag your age if you wanna bc I was just thinking about how I have used floppy disks before (I'm 25 and used them in elementary computer lab) but my 22 y.o. brother hasn't which is so weird to me like 3 years isn't a long time at all to me

HP 3000 computer from 1972 had 128KB of memory and cost $130k. About a dollar a byte, what a deal!

I’ve heard some people say like “ but it isn’t confirmed that tweek and Craig are married in post COVID bc they don’t wear a ring and/or they don’t say that they’re married”

ok, the ring thing is stupid, like, none of the adults that are married have a ring as far as I’m aware.

secondly and most important, they don’t need to say that they’re married so you can guess they are. They literally introduced themselves again as Tweek and Craig, they do it together, they don’t need to be showing affection constantly to put it clear that they’re married. Also, when they go to look for aluminum foil, they go together, it would be rather awkward if they had to be together and they are exe’s.

“maybe they’re still dating but they decided not to get married” maybe, but after like 40 years of dating the same person it would be weird if they aren’t honestly.

Had the sudden urge to write for the first time in a long time. I had a few minutes alone at work and thought, why not? I have no idea when I’ll have time to continue, but in case you all thought I’d abandoned Once More, I have not.

Legally, I am recquired to inform you fucking rule, and that if you disagree, sue yourself and act as both parties.

I really dont have the money to sue myself but if needs must
