Liquid-filled USBs with charms

Save a horse, ride a what?? 💥

I don't know what I was expecting, but it's fun to try!

As always, head to Patreon for bonus content (USB vs Apple anyone?)

I have to imagine that, by necessity, Steve and Eddie’s parenting method includes a healthy amount of dishonesty, especially when their kids are teenagers.

Like, I’m picturing– 

Moe: You’re telling me you never smoked when you were a teenager?

Eddie: Nope. Never. Not even once.

*LATER*

Steve: You fucking hypocrite

Eddie: What, you want me to tell our sixteen-year-old that when I was her age I was dealing ketamine and hotwiring cars while stoned out of my fucking mind?

Eddie: Might I remind you there’s a vault of information our children don’t know about you, Mister Keg King

Steve: Watch your mouth

PC World - November 1996

middle school boy who just learned this bitch is another word for a female dog and thinks they're so smart for getting around cussing:

"hey ur a total female dog!! hahah"

that same girl 10 years later and 3 years on estrogen whos such a good girl:

"awufff ruff barkbark bark U⁠^⁠ｪ⁠^⁠U!!!"

The Nine Houses are obviously deliberately technologically limited. Aside from having FTL capable spaceships, the most advanced piece of technology that we see in the Houses is "an electric transmitter box, with headphones and a mic." It's not clear entirely what sort of device this is, but it apparently requires you to stick an antenna out the window.

On New Rho, Cam has a beeping, and therefore presumably digital watch. Nona has to remind her that's it's called a "watch", and not the House term, "clockwork", which rather suggests House timepieces are analog.

There's a projector box embedded in the BoE conference table, which loads an image like dial up internet because they are "using shortwave" - presumably shortwave radio, which can transmit pictures. As We Suffer apologises for the slowness of the image loading because of shortwave, that suggests that other methods of transmitting an image do exist, but that for whatever reason they're not using those. Perhaps they do normally have something akin to the internet, but this is down due to the conditions on New Rho, or being avoided due to House or inter-cell monitoring.

The audio of Juno Zeta's proof of life is on "a little piece of electronics, a fingernail-shaped thing with prongs", which sounds like some kind of drive.

We also see We Suffer in the impromptu command centre in the tunnels with "a headpiece and a flip-top computer", presumably being used for some kind of communicatons or planning.

And of course, there's Cam and Pal's recorder, which from the descriptions of it making squeaks and garbled noises sounds rather like it might contain a cassette tape.

A paramilitary group on a beseiged planet may not be the best evidence for the level of technology outside of the Houses, but if it is in any way indicative, non-House society doesn't seem to have non-space travel technology beyond things that would have been available in the early 00s.

Does a USB drive get heavier as you store more files on it?

Nope. Paradoxically (and theoretically), the more you save on a flash drive, the lighter it gets.

USB drives use Flash memory, which means the the ones and zeros of the data are stored on transistors.

When you save data, a binary zero is set by charging the float gate of the transistor, and a binary one is set by removing the charge.

To charge it, we add electrons, and the mass of each electron is 0.00000000000000000000000000091 grams.

This means that an empty USB drive (which mostly holds zeros) weighs more than a full USB drive (which has ones and zeros). Add data, reduce the weight.

University Presses Debunk Myths, Reframe Academic Publishing and Bookselling

Three publishing sales and marketing directors, and two indie bookstore insiders, dispelled assumptions about university presses at the U.S. Book Show. Five panelists opened with what University of Texas Press sales and marketing manager Gianna LaMorte called a round of “myth-busting.” Levi Stahl, marketing director at the University of Chicago Press, ventured to say that “functionally, a good…

CLIVE BARKER'S HELLRAISER - ISSUE 13 (DEAD THINGS ROT, STORY AND ART BY MIKE MIGNOLA)

These images came from a blog post talking about perfume USBs and it says that fragrance is emitted from them due to heat during use. I don’t know if the USBs pictured have perfume in them or not, but they’re from the blog post.

There are also USBs which have perfume crystals in them instead of liquid:
