It’s 2018 and I still have no clue how CDs work. It’s a shiny disc, how do they get data on that, let alone that much?? Magic
Like a vinyl disc, where a physical groove is marked into the vinyl, a laser marks the ink of a CD in a similar manner.

A laser (your disc drive) can then look at the pattern in the ink and understand it.
There’s no grooves on a CD tho???
They’re just really tiny, hence the laser. The smaller grooves means that more info can fit on a disc of the same size.
Man how the fuck did they figure out how to make that

They took the vinyl concept and made it smaller. Like how they took the concept of computers and made them small enough to fit in your hand

TIL that during the Third Crusade 84% of the crusader army went home because the Holy Roman Emperor drowned in a river.

America as a game map
houston is level cap but if you try to go down to corpus or the rio valley you get zoned back to houston
There is a bug in rio grande valley that if you try to way point or fast travel any where in the exclusion zone, you get sent straight back to Austin or San Antonio.

I was born and raised in the end game expansion. Where do I go from here

every time i fuck up plugging in the USB to charge my iphone and scratch it against the underside of the phone i think about that scene at the start of sherlock where sherlock assumes that john watson’s sister is an alcoholic because of the scratches around the charging port of the iphone she gave to him as a gift and i think to myself “man sherlock is a fucking idiot”
#god if I could meet Sherlock holmes I would have a field day preparing my Look to throw him off #watch me wear an engagement ring for a week before hand and take it off and wear one of my mom’s blouses that has the shoulder all crunched #from years of violin playing and a pair of brand new matching socks and carry a brand new copy of a book i’ve read 20 times #and spill some coffee on my shoes and cuddle my neighbor’s cats so i have different cat fur on me #my dream is to throw off a sherlock holmes type with pure petty bs
