"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Scientists have come up with an optical disc that holds 200 Terabytes!!! worth of data that is the same size as a DVD.

Completely revolutionizes enterprise storage as these discs can now be used to hold huge amounts of data that would have required a high capacity data center previously.

Called a Very Big Disc(VBD), they have a lifespan estimated at 50-100 years...

Researchers have developed a Very Big Disc™ that can store up to 200 terabytes of data and may represent a return to optical media for long term storage

You can't keep a good disk down, it seems.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

All this sh1t is advancing way too fast without proper foresight or oversight. If there are nefarious agents ruling over us, this is something they would applaud.

Thanks for the link. As I'm a Shift Manager in a Data Center, I find information such as this, to be interesting.

I guess the key will be what is the access time to locate files or data on the disk since it is so large.

If it's not really fast I doubt it takes off.
