This reminds me of the book Rainbows End, by Vernor Vinge. In it, a company uses a mulcher to grind down all the books and shelves in a library, then uses scans of the scraps to reassemble the books in digital form for an AR version of the library.
Current hourly forecast says we’re gonna get thunderstorms around 5 here, but the rain will start at 3.
Raw spinach is great, I can just eat handfuls of that all day. Cooked spinach is gross, both in flavor and texture.

Yeah, check out the program Flashpoint, at Flashpointarchive.org. They’ve got a bunch of old flash games and flash movies saved.
