Random unrelated question for Dave: what are they doing for threw sarnothi people’s footwear? Todd had to get Selkie custom shoes, surely they can’t afford to do that for every sarnoth. And where are the refugees who didn’t fit into the one colony? What happened to the eggs? Sorry for the questions, I just REALLY hope we get a side story soon about what their life is like after escaping
well, considdering that there are many more sarnothis now, i´d say minor mass production is bound to happen soon-ish….and until then, i´m sure brown+co can ‘convince’ (read: bully) the shoemakers into giving a hefty discount
Your ctrl-S comment is particularly funny to me because, after years of losing work to not saving as a child, starting some time in college I developed a nervous tic of hitting the save keyboard shortcut reflexively during any break in typing.
It’s so bad that I have a tendency to do it while typing a comment like this, which of course does not have the desired effect in a web browser.
Hehe I know what you mean. There was a kitty who used to frequent my workplace. Once she walked all over my keyboard and I had to do the typing all over again.
If you want it, hit save everytime you’ve typed up something worth saving.
If it’s important save it, …. if it is REALLY IMPORTANT, save it in two places. If it’s irreplaceable, save it in two places that are physically different, like two different buildings.
Teacher: i have all my students grades for the whole year on this floppy and it is asking if I want to format it.
Me: (uh-oh!) Did you format it?
Teacher: No! I’m not stupid!
Me: Ok, did you make a back-up copy of the file?
Teacher: Sure!
Me: Good, good, uhn… where is it?
Teacher: On the floppy.
Me: On this floppy? On the same floppy?…..
Teacher: Yes, …
Jesus and the Devil were arguing, so God asked them what was going on. Both claimed to be better at word processing, and went back to arguing. God separated them and said “There is only one way to settle this. Each of you will type me a paper detailing the Book of Genesis and whoever I feel did the best job wins. You have until midnight to get it to me.”
Both Jesus and the Devil agree and start working. They work throughout the day and into the night. As midnight approached, the Devil was just about to hit print when BAM!, the power went out. When power was restored, the Devil checked and found everything he had was gone!
Screaming and yelling, he happening to look over and saw Jesus at the printer as it printed his work, whistling a happy tune.
Angrily, the Devil stomped over to God and said “Hey! I lost all my work when the power went out! Why didn’t he lose his?!”
God replied, shrugging his shoulders, “Jesus Saves.”
That’s hilarious. Because I like editing, I tried my hand at rewriting this.

So God heard Jesus and the Devil having a big argument. He demanded, “What’s going on?”
They told Him it was about this new human thing, word processing. Each one claimed to be better at it than the other. As they tried to explain why, their voices rose until they were both yelling again.
“Hold on,” God said. “Only one way to settle this. Each of you will write me a paper about the Book of Genesis, and whoever I feel does the best job, wins. You have until midnight to get it to me.”
Jesus and the Devil agreed, and started working. They worked through the day and into the night. As midnight approached, the Devil was just about to hit print when BAM! — the power went out. When power was restored, the Devil checked and found everything he had was gone!
Screaming in frustration and rage, he looked over and saw Jesus at the printer collecting the pages of his essay one at a time, whistling a happy tune.
The Devil stomped over to God. “What the hell? That’s not fair. I lost all my work when the power went out! Why didn’t he?”
I figured that since they had the immigration plan already going at a slow burn they realized that this would be a thing that would be addressed and so the Sarnothi like would have had some echos working on a shoes project much like the other clothes that they wear.
I so would have done that in that situation and would have been in just as much trouble. saaave heeer toooodd
I’ll be the one to ask: what was she dragging? Her bed? *Amanda’s* bed?
I HOPE she was trying to drag the mattress out for additional seating.
looks like her own bed
Correct. That’s Sekie’s mattress currently flopped on top of her.

In case anyone else isn’t clear what she is saying, I think its…
“Mistakes have been made.”
Yep!

The traditional advice is “3-2-1”: three copies, across two media, with one off-site.
https://www.backblaze.com/blog/the-3-2-1-backup-strategy/
Very good advice, and easy to remember.
But remember, if it’s digital and if you didn’t make a backup (or three), you didn’t think it was important.
A bit of a joke, so please, bear with me

I am no way shape or form a writer so thank you for cleaning it up!
