A few years ago my basement flooded after a week of sustained rainfall.

Rain, in general, is great. I love seeing a mild storm come through. Each passing day, though, ratchets up the anxiety a little.

Tim Sweeney doesn't want to imagine a world where powerful people face consequences for their actions.

I worked my way through college at my university computer lab (97-01). We went ALL IN on zip drives, so that's what I used as my high capacity (lol) storage for longer than I should have (through maybe 2004-ish when the last drive died). Still have a bunch of disks around here somewhere. So...soon after that was my switch to thumb drives.
