found this in a used book. what is it? they read like cryptic crossword clues, but why have 21 of them on a card?

ordered a super-cheap optical drive because I think the one in my ancient x300 is slowly dying, and I have CDs to rip

fair dues to John Gruber for obtaining the Rubio memo (link in 3rd paragraph) daringfireball.net/2025/12/full...
The Full Text of Marco Rubio’s Directive on State Department Typography, Re-Establishing Times New Roman
Good on Rubio for rescinding a bad decision, and even better for doing so with a fair and informative explanation.

Fonts are in the news, so I'm going to take the opportunity to port over an old thread: what was typography like in the Soviet Union?

Spoiler: they did not just have 1 font everyone had to use. As a matter of fact, there were 39.

One of them, you can see here, used to great effect for "Chernobyl."
