I know we've moved past fiber-wrapped cables for Good Reasons but I think it'd be funny if some of the Rope Geeks produced ethernet cables.

I want a hemp cat6 cable damn it.
It should come with rope oil and those emt safety sheers

The only cyborg I've seen get it right is Inspector Gadget.

Because I can probably name ten people right now who would go for the "motorized screwdriver in the finger" surgery, yet it so rarely shows up in fiction.

But that's the transhumanist future I'm waiting for

@Klassika @foone I know someone who has one. Neat party tricks, but he has to be careful around magnets.

So when I see a floppy disk anywhere my natural instinct is "ooh, I should image that and upload it to the internet archive!"
Which is a drive (no pun intended) that has served me well: I've imaged a lot of floppy disks.

Recently it has started betraying me, however. See, I've been doing a temp job where I digitize microfiche for the internet archive.

So now most of the time when I go "hey I should image that disk and put it on the archive", it's already IN the internet archive. Physically!

@foone except you can see about getting another contract to image the floppy disks that aren't imaged?
