Daniel NichanianBREAKING: Massachusetts has just adopted a new law today to make phone calls from prison and jails free.
In fact, it'd also wipe charges for other forms of communication between incarcerated ppl & their loved ones.

So I got curious. The MacOS 14 installer is apparently about 13 gigabytes. So that's 1024*13/1.44 = 9245 3.5" floppies (rounded up). A 3.5" floppy apparently weighs around 20 grams. So 20*9245/1000 = 185 kilograms of floppies (408 lb).
Looked up the dimensions of a 3.5" floppy in mm and worked out the total volume: 93.7*90.0*3.3*9245*(10^β9) = 0.26 cubic metres. So you're looking at a box of floppies very roughly the size and weight of 3 averageish people.

π³οΈβπππ½To those who have achieved great success, I wish for you this: that you acquire wisdom in such measure as to temper self importance, that you find humility and gratitude in the blessings bestowed, and above all that you give back to the world far more than you have taken from it.
Uli Kusterer (Not a kitteh)Short reminder: From today, for a week, Europe is already on winter time, while the US are still on Daylight Saving Time (DST).
So if you have recurring appointments with people from the other continent: European appointments will be 1 hour later for US folks, and US appointments will be *one hour earlier* for Europeans.

dan πΎA billion seconds is almost 32 years
A million seconds is a bit over 11.5 days
A hundred thousand seconds is a little over 1 day
And ten thousand seconds is not quite 3 hours
Subtracting 1 million seconds from 1 billion seconds still leaves you with 32 years.
Maybe what we need is a new word for billion that sounds less like million.
