Ten Things That Occurred to Me #13

1. My phone knows I’m at the grocery store.  Or at least it should. Why can’t it just bring up my rewards card instead of me having to dig for it?

2. I was out of town, and I tripped on a curb and completely destroyed my phone.  It’s remarkable how much not having a working phone affects me.  Luckily, I had my Chromebook and found Wifi, and thus was able to cobble enough information to get to a Best Buy and get a new one.  But I couldn’t authenticate, I couldn't call an Uber, and I couldn’t text or call anyone.  Very discombobulating.

3. People joke about there being not enough cat pictures on the internet, but we developers know that there aren’t enough articles about Visual Studio Code plugins and what developer books to read.

4. All I know is that I wouldn't vote to convict Mike Tyson.  Sometimes a guy deserves a punch in the face. And anyone stupid enough to piss off Mike Tyson has it coming, in my book.

5. History is filled with the corpses of people who died because someone else believed their opinion was a fact.

6. Easily the best thing about this whole “Elon Musk buys Twitter” thing is that we will presumably get an edit button.

7. I’d like to meet the guy who thought that “Dolf Lungren’s armpit spitting out sweat all over another guy” commercial was a good idea.  

8. I haven't been this duped since Sidd Finch.  

9. Good grief, I am so freaking sick of telling website after website after website that I am fine with cookies.  Thanks, EU, for nothing.  How silly do you have to be to not realize that anything you do on the web is pretty much the same as doing it in the middle of a public shopping mall? Pretty silly.

10. I don’t get earpods.  First, they are expensive. Second, the fact that they are precariously connected to you is strange to me. How do people not lose them when they fall out all the time?  Someone bumps you on the street, and they are gone down a drain or stepped on or otherwise just unusable.  Weird.
