according to string theory, you can see the string that started the universe with

cat ~/.zsh_history | head -n 1

back in the day people would download more ram and put it on giant tape-based backup systems. Big companies started downloading massive amounts of high quality ram this way. This created a ram shortage, and companies like corsair are now using their massive reserves of downloaded ram and filling empty ram sticks with them and making lots of money. That's why ram is so expensive today. Any ram you can download today is low quality ram, and the only high quality ram can be had on physical sticks, which were filled by the companies with ram reserves. 1969 was the peak of the ram harvesting, so you'll probably get some really great ram if it came from that year.

Is that why everyone's going to Ram Ranch now? To harvest high-quality RAM right from the source?

But what if I want more RAM while I am waiting for my additional RAM to download?
