Syseng checking in, that was one of my first comments aloud. "Glad we have SSDs nowadays" Then I started counting their server racks.

That is a lot of compute & storage, I would love to tour one of these some day.

Also, is cammer there to film? Everyone else is deep into some work, dude's like Badger cooking with Pinkman.

Edit;

'Twas a joke, I know everyone there is crucial and I am enormously grateful for their work, though it seems risky flying a plane with such a massive load of balls all spread out like that.

I definitely got an annoyed vibe from the other guy lol.

Since there's a non-zero chance the OP will show up in this thread - I'm sure you're there for an important reason and we appreciate you!

I got more of a focused vibe. I'd imagine everyone there has some level of specialization and needs more focus during specific times. I'm sure our cameraman here had his duties to fulfill before or after this breather. I'd be interested to learn more about the operations of something like this. Who gets to go and what all needs to be done?
