    I’ve never seen them before, but it was so densely populated with jokes it was almost impressive.

    I was introduced to them via Jay Foreman’s unfinished London series. If you enjoy map men, I’d heavily recommend checking that out as well.

  I’d argue that we think about them more than we used to, what with the current war on the continent and the threat of Russia cutting our cables at any time.

  Though still, not as much as we should be thinking about them for sure, but I wouldn’t say never.

  They’re basically completely unprotected, and Russia, or any major nation or very well funded organisation, could easily rig explosives to all of our manor cables (there aren’t that many), and set them all off on the same day.

  Which would bring chaos the likes of which we have never seen. We live in the Information Age, after all.

  Trust me. I think about it all the time when I play competitive shooters when the server is located in another location.

  Curse 90 ms ping when the cable is broken. When they complete the repair is 21 ms.
