Or the status map thing for your Uber ride.
I've copied mega-gigabytes to and from USB drived many times and I've never understood why the transfer speeds and estimated time to finish fluctuates so much.
I think its a dig on cats sleeping all the time, presumably due to exhaustion. The cat realizes why he's always sleeping in the last panel.Maybe I'm a psychopath, but I don't get this.
I didn't have to look who wrote this to know who wrote this.

1) Transfers can go very fast while the writes are being cached--then slow way down when a cache flush is forced.
2) Flash drives (and SSDs) have a certain amount of space available for writing. Once that's used up pages marked for deletion have to be actually erased--and that's slow. Writing drops to the speed the controller can erase pages. SSDs usually are built with a bigger reserve for writing so this is less of an issue.
I think Windows just sucks and they haven't changed how file copying is done since DOS 2.1. When I use Teracopy, it copies those large files quicker, and more consistently without the Bipolar Progress Bar!

Check out Teracopy if you move about large files often. It isn't expensive.

Maybe the stick of dynamite behind the raft will blow up the shark on the lower right that is headed toward it. Problem solved.
