Mastodon Feed
Dear Lazyweb, Is there any benefit or drawback -- disk space, performance or otherwise -- to having a single 200 GB .pack file (with a .keep file) versus having 200 1GB .pack files?

Mastodon FeedMastodon FeedHey, I'm on the tee vee!
I'm really curious about how this prop came about, in the mediocre 2019 Jean Reno movie Cold Blood Legacy where Ukraine stands in for the ass-end of British Columbia. Do I get an IMDB credit for this? In case you were wondering, that is not my phone number.

- In front of the main doors of a large building (above which in large letters is the name "Trump") a Tesla Cybertruck is in flames. The scene appears to be deserted, and the truck is strongly illuminated from the right hand side of the picture. There is a great deal of water on the ground as though there has been an attempt to extinguish the flames. (remote)

unfortunately now that the show has shown me the existence of Sweet Potato Truck as a career, i can't unsee it

The FBI says an Islamic State group flag was found inside the vehicle he was driving, while two improvised explosive devices were found nearby."

Sure, it's possible that a guy with a Cybertruck full of fireworks just happened to stop right in front of the main entrance to a Trump hotel, and then at that same moment the fireworks just happened to go off and vehicle became engulfed with flames. Certainly not impossible. But the odds would make Spock shiver.

- The Automecca Sportsvan, a retro vehicle based on the VW Beetle and Microbus, from 1973. Like a Cybertruck, it is very angular with several flat surfaces, but it looks more elegant and probably more useful as a van. This one is finished in striking red color with black accents on the front fascia and side sills. Apparently they only made 17 of these. (remote)
