Lexar's 1TB SD card is the first you can actually buy
SanDisk showed off a 1TB SD prototype a couple of years ago, but the final product never made it to market. Lexar's Professional 633x line of SDHC and SDXC UHS-I cards, however, is now listed for sale in capacities from 16GB all the way up to the flagship 1TB. That card claims read speeds of up to 95MB/s and write speeds of 70MB/s, though it's only rated as V30/U3, which guarantees sustained write performance of 30MB/s.
(Not microSD.)

1e12 written at 3e7/s in a blink of an eye, ~35k seconds long, just a held breath of 9.7hrs, or maybe, if they deliver on 70mb/s 4.2 hrs to write.

I'm too lazy to do the math of how long the same amount of data would take to write on 3.5 inch floppies, and the size of the truck(s) required to carry those floppies to their destination.

Many years ago, one of my nuttier relatives, who is deep into fringe Christianity, and thinks she is a prophet, said that there was a 6 story building in Belgium, with 6 rooms on each floor, and 6 filing cabinets in each room (and I wondered if there were 6 drawers in each filing cabinet), in which all the personal information about everyone was being collected. Exactly what personal info this was, wasn't clear, but it sounded like name, address, phone number, date of birth, marriages, parents, and children. Pretty stodgy stuff. Apparently, DNA was not included. When this was accomplished, it would somehow cause the world to end.
I laughed, and informed her that they didn't need no 6 story building for that. A stack of CDs that one person could carry around was enough room. She got this shocked and horrified look on her face. Seems that it's all too easy for those conspiracy theorists to fall way behind.
Now it sounds like one of these new SD cards can do that job.
Anyway, at 1.44M per floppy, you'd need 750k to 800k floppies to hold a terabyte of data. Don't think that'll fit in one station wagon.

Seriously? That can't be true, can it?
Has she ever had any sort of psychiatric treatment?
I just ask because when I was a kid, my Dad worked at a psychiatric hospital, and there two inmates who thought they were Jesus Christ.
Needless to say, they did not get on. Turning the other cheek was not part of their teaching from what I remember.

This may be a case of temporal lobe epilepsy. My maternal grandmother had it really, really bad, and she was more Catholic than the Pope, as my mother put it. Like, to the point that right before dementia and cancer took her, she told my mother to her face that "if you don't become a better Catholic, you won't be in heaven with me." And this is after my mother (and myself...) had been caring for her in her home for the better part of 5 years.

Yeah, well you were lucky she didn't just have done with it, declare you a heretic [wikipedia.org] and get a really good fire going in the back yard.
I mean, you're probably one of those people who would like to read the Bible in your native language, instead of Latin, like God intended.

Yeah, she was not a fan of Vatican II, and let us know about it in detail on a few occasions. And yes, little 13 year old me did ask "so you know enough Latin for the old Roman rite then?" and got promptly grounded for sassing my grandmother.

I know several Catholics that are still not totally on board with Vatican II.
They express their displeasure by going to Mass at a local church where the priest holds the service in Latin once a month or so.
I heard through the grapevine that the bishop told him to tone it down a bit, and my wife went once just to see what the fuss was all about.
She described the congregation as those sorts of people who have themselves nailed to a cross come Easter.

There is actually a problem with the V2 mass, namely that the Quo Primum issues an anathema against its authors. And technically, the pope who did that foresaw the problems of a rite that is trying to... well I don't know what.
The mass is in Latin. So what, even in your native language we are not going to comprehend the full meaning of what is said.
The priest has his back to the people in the old Mass. So what, what's on the other side? the consecrated species maybe? oops.
In short, the V2 to me seems the initiator of a fall into chaos, more than a reaction to solve problems. From the fruits you tell the tree.

If God had meant it to be in a language other than Latin, he would have written it in a language other than Latin.

Oh yes, it's true. She never had any treatment that I know of, no. I think it very possible it could have helped her. But despite her wacky thinking, she was able to function in society well enough to get by, and stay out of the mental institutions. Actually even better than that. In a lot of ways, she's like the typical evangelical con artist who doesn't know he's a con artist. Don't think she ever tried to claim that she was the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ, or that might have been enough to persuade everyone to put her away. No odd behaviors or anything else that would immediately mark her as nuts. Had to hear her talk for a bit to learn that she was cuckoo. She didn't find Jesus until adulthood. Before that, she wasn't so nuts, though she did have a tendency to go overboard on things.
She had a teaching job in the public school system until she was fired for trying to "teach the controversy". She's an ordained reverend. I have no idea what sect. She also ran an alternative health business, which in addition to dubious drugs, included faith healing. One of the craziest of her stunts (that I heard of) was the application of faith healing to ... a lawn mower! She was also very happy and proud that she once made it into Business Week. They used a photo of her as an example of the sort of people who peddle dubious drugs for this alternative health company. That the article was extremely critical of the business, pointing out that she was basically a fraud, did not seem to matter to her in the slightest. Seems there were enough credulous religious supplicants and sick people to support her after she lost the teaching job. Still, when she visited the family, she'd come in shabby clothes and see her mother first. Her mother would be embarrassed and hastily take her shopping to buy some new clothes for her to put on so the rest of the family wouldn't see her looking so ragged.
Tragic, really. She's actually pretty smart. Baffling how she can be so stupid about reality, or more like, willfully blind. If a mind is a terrible thing to waste, she did it and how.
For those who think they're Jesus, I guess this town, heck this whole world, ain't big enough for more than one Jesus.

Thanks for that bzipitidoo. People's family stories are really interesting, and often make mine look positively normal.
