- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Limit of two posts per person per day.

Where does one even find a 7gb flash drive, is that a thing?
An 8Gig flash drive with bad sectors maybe?
Chances are, the encyclopedia company bought a batch that had bad sectors for this.
The key contained an 'update' to the encyclopedia, probably because it was cheaper than what they did before, which was releasing supplements.
All the data inside was about 1.7Gb or something like that, the entire encyclopedia in digital form, plus whatever updates they didn't bother release in paper.
That encyclopedia was never used, of course. It has always been just a scam on an old lady that ended up becoming decoration, like many other leather-bound books in the house.
