What I find incredible is the drive that these scientists have; then again they get to work at what is in my opinion the most amazing scientific facility humanity has built to date on Earth. I'd choose looking over mundane data every d

It sucks that the DO data was lost; it's an awful situation to be in and should never happen given the way that cloud options are sold. The moral of the story being that you should always diversify your cloud options and keep regular v
