Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Love how many things do this especially on Amazon. Stores have been doing it for years.

My gf falls for it a lot. I remind her it's not the crazy deal she thinks it is. No, it's not 50% off. It's only 7 dollars cheaper than it's average selling price over the last couple months.

No, it's not 50% off. It's only 7 dollars cheaper than ~~it's average selling price over the last couple months.~~ the marked up price, which is still overall more expensive than it was 2 months ago, and more expensive than it will be in 2 months from now when the "deal" has finished.

FTFY.
