  • Adding a +1 to this, same situation. For the longest time, I had to keep a running totall in my head, down to the cent, of the few things I put in the supermarket cart to make sure I had money to pay for them.

    Life has been kind, and gradually things got better and when it sunk in that I was OK was when I realized that at some point I had stopped counting the cents.

    Nowadays I treasure my time and my wellbeing more than money - I won’t do something that takes away from that, even if pays more.

    Clearly there’s people who won’t stop at a billion dollars, but for me, the freedom of adding whatever I want to my cart without having to think if I can afford it is all I need to live a happy life.






  • Mini-USB sucked, big time. Not so bad as micro, but yea it was bad.

    The main advantage of C over all previous versions is that it’s reversible, you can’t plug it in wrong. The shape is also… “flat”?, so it’s easier to fit into the socket, mini had that wavy like thing going on.

    My data source is my small kid: he’s broken 3 (and counting…) usb-mini micro connectors by tugging the charging PS4 controllers, and he has to ask me to connect the cable to charge them, he’s unable to do it himself yet. With his tablet, 0 usb-c connectors broken and he can plug it in himself.


  • Fifth here. That scale doesn’t belong in the “awkwardly sized cooking utensils” drawer.

    You see, there’s a journey of self discovery that every household goes through, and during that journey, it’s ok for the kitchen scale to go in different places. We’ve all been there, so no one is judging.

    When the time is right, it will find its way to a shelf where it will live happily for the rest of its life.
