I'll be younger in my next life.

I bought a first class ticket on Malaysian Air
Landed in Sri Lanka none the worse for wear
I'm thinking of retiring from all my dirty deals
See you in the next life, wake me up for meals

If you were to download the entire web, it would take approximately 11 trillion years. And to store all of that data? You'd need a lot of hard drives — specifically 1,000 8'x10' rooms each filled with 450 2-terabyte storage drives.

As of 2019... Its got a lot bigger since then

I've been there and done that.

I remember they had vending machines like that at the university I attended. There was one particularly troublesome machine where the product would get stuck like that. Of course, people would often shake the machine and try to shake it loose. One day it was tipped over entirely and broke. So then they bolted these bars around the thing so nobody could shake it or move it.

So... you steal from vending machines........

WAAAAAAY back in 1979 I worked part time at a Sears service center. They had one of those in the break room, and it constantly held onto the snacks. So employees would hit the glass, with their fist, getting the food to drop. I came in one afternoon to start work and the food was gone and the glass was smashed..... strange thing though.....apparently it simply exploded on its own and the snacks inside evaporated.... because no one broke it and no one had any idea where the snacks went

Another interesting thing..... the time clock could be advanced if someone hit it.....I'd come in early and see people standing in line hitting the time clock....hit it hard enough it advanced as much as 5 minutes ..... I came in one afternoon, went to punch in (with time card, not literally punch the clock), and the time clock was n the floor.... and apparently it just fell off the wall by itself...again, no one knew why

So... you steal from vending machines........

I can recommend a great optician.

Note the selected item is stuck so merely attempting to retrieve the goods that have been paid for.

So on the contrary, the vending machine is stealing from me.
