There still is a Fark?

I had a dead drive that I didn't care about so I stuck it in a -80c freezer overnight, because if a freezer is good then a -80 would be great! Right??

When I plugged it in it made the most godawful groaning noise and within a minute it had a half-inch thick layer of frost crystals over the entire drive.

Surprisingly it didn't fix the drive.

You mentioned that you worked 72-hour weeks as an unpaid apprentice, and your mental health suffered from it. I find unpaid apprenticeships very exploitive and the practice seems to be dying in other trades. Do you think that it will become less common in the food industry, or will there always be people looking to get ahead by 'working for the best' even if that means that their work is unpaid?

Nintendo Power gave away a free copy of Dragon Warrior with every new subscription. I actually got two copies for some reason and sold one for the cost of the sub, so thanks for that! About 10 years ago I booted up that cartridge and my save was still on it.

Some credit this strategy as a way to introduce North American gamers to the RPG genre.

Why was Dragon Warrior chosen for the free game, and were other games considered?

Why does it take more time? Small bag of food vs big bag of food, but the driving time is the same? Genuinely curious! I've never used one of these services.
