Having devices require a USB-C charger might be great for small devices, but it's awful for laptops. That thing is so flimsy it's only a matter of time until it starts having faulty contacts. I've had one for a year and now it connects/disconnects everytime I touch the cable. Gimme back my huge Dell barrel jacks ๐ญ ๐ญ ๐ญ

The main problem I have with USB-C is that the "U" is a lie. Always has been to some extent, but seems like it's particularly true with USB-C. This is closer to that meme that's like "There are 12 competing standards. We created a new universal standard to replace them all." Except instead of there now being 13 competing standards, USB-C is a fractured mess so instead it's like there's now 20 competing standards. This cord supports passthrough power, this one doesn't, but even the one that does only supports 20W so you have to have a special one to deliver 65, and that USB-C power brick only gives 15W, so you have to buy a special one that does 80W, and this USB-C port on my phone doesn't support the USB-C to Aux jack adapter I bought, so now I have to buy a different adapter. It goes on and on and on and frankly I'm old and tired.
barrel jacks were great until you lost them and had to buy a new one for way too much money. but, I'd rather have a standardized barrel jack than usb c
Carmel should be the hard version and caramel is the soft kind.
Single-speed bicycles suck.
They combine the drawbacks of a geared bike with the drawbacks of a fixed gear bike.
Star Trek TOS is the best series and always will be.
"catsup" is the better spelling; "ketchup" looks about as proper as "nite lite"
Anything with cats is inherently superior
Punctuation goes inside quotes at the end of a sentence unless the quote has its own non-period punctuation. I call this out on every paper I grade.
It looks so cursed
int main() {
printf("Hello, World!);"
return 0;
}
Probably a slightly higher stair in a staircase one day
There is a letter G in the word recognise. Bloody use it. What people all say is "reckonise" which is not the same word. Also driving on the left just makes way more sense.
There are no bad pizza toppings, and any pizza with only cheese and sauce is a wasted opportunity.
Pizza is primarily a bread first. Toppings are only an enhancement of said bread. And if the bread sucks, the whole pizza sucks and no combination of toppings will save it.
