That, uh. Sounds somewhat expensive? Storage is pretty cheap these days, but a full on petabyte of it, um. Isn't. Cheap. Yet. Not even if it's cloud storage.

... you sure it's actually a straight up no joke petabyte of storage, no odd strings attached? A 100 or somethin' tb would be more reasonable, but 1k tb is legit kinda' (budget bustingly) crazy for anything that's not, like, a major corporation or somethin'.

e: is that why you call yourself delphonso, because you've somehow managed to figure out how to get hitched with Dell?

My guess would be she has 100TB of storage and misremembered. Alternatively, this is something her boss bought without knowing anything about it - the company is small but he is exceptionally ignorant when it comes to tech. It would have been easy for someone to convince him he needed a petabyte, either a peer or a salesperson.

A quick look over baidu's cloud website (of which it has like...4 for some reason) says they support up to 100pb of data for businesses. Can't imagine the cost and they don't say it up front.

Cloud services must allocate space as needed right? Like you don't rent an actual hard drive anywhere, you just get files stored up to whatever limit you have. A petabyte seems like a safe size because literally no single person will use that.

Edit: also should note that she said the upload and download speeds are terrible, in case anyone found it appealing. Don't recommend, as she doesn't even use it because it's too inconvenient.

It was supposed to be Dell Fiance, but this shitty dell keyboard messed it up.

Are the authorities going to leave the hole? The escape attempts will surely diminish sharply if they do... ;)

In their defense they did all tried to open a wall from the woman's cell to the street first, but when they realized they could not then decided to make the best of the situation.

That's... *sigh* a heck of a booby prize. /pun

Glad they all had some fun though, taking the story at face value :)

I guess that's still a victory of sorts for all parties involved

What's the punishment for attempted escape, destruction of state property, and copious fortification while under federal custody?  ???

They all were charged with attempted escape and acts against the moral and good customs. Not that it mattered much to them, the majority of them were jailed on murder charges.

link to a source. This happened almost a year ago but only heard of it today while on a queue in a doctor's office.

Y'know, when I stepped into cute gadget lizardgirl litrpg, I wasn't expecting to shortly end up with
Like, I've here for it so far, but that wasn't where it looked like things were going.

I guess someone felt like going the extra mile to make a lizard brain joke...

tbn (major christian broadcasting network the grandparents watch fairly often, to everyone's detriment) had a comedian on for... some reason.

Pretty much their entire act was making remarkably weak jokes about different ways their parents hit them and their siblings.

Was just, like. One, honey, you ain't particularly funny. Two, therapy my dude, you probably got some problems you need to talk to someone about :-\

Nah, he knows his audience. He's not funny, just relatable. So he's using material his audience can relate to.
