1. Electric toothbrush. When I don’t have it with me, brushing manually is such a chore. A device performs better than I do and I embrace it.

2. Prescription glasses. I remember getting to look at a tree with improved sight, and it was wonderful.

3. Air purifier. Has really helped my allergies.

I was in Vegas last month. Uber/Lyft drivers are fed up too. One driver told me that he used to meet his goals by 11am. Because of F1 construction traffic, now he’s driving an extra 10-15 hours per day to meet those same goals. He’s gonna be out of town this F1 month, visiting a friend in another state to consider moving there.

Life is becoming worse for the residents, while the casinos get richer.

8th grade. A girl tells me in the presence of classmates, “I love youuuu.” I just think it’s a joke/prank so I reply, “I’m too young!” Later she privately asks me if I meant that. It didn’t click for me until high school.

Fresh out of an all-boys high school, so no interaction with girls since 8th grade. Freshman year college, fall semester. Classmate says she’s cold and hooks her arm in mine on the walk to lecture. This happens every day. Another classmate asks if we’re dating, and I say no, she’s just cold.

Same semester, same class, in a lab section, it’s warm. I ask my lab partner (different from arm girl) doesn’t she feel hot, why not take off her sweater. She looks at my and says, “I’m not wearing anything underneath.” Next day in lecture she’s dresssd up really nice and sits next to me.

Every day in this lecture these 3 girls sit with me. My high school buddy who’s also in the class tells me, while we’re studying, he thinks it’s hilarious that I’m surrounded by girls. I shrug it off.

Studies show that 100% of people who injected high doses of bleach didn’t die of COVID. Checkmate, jabbers.

Planning to make Focus-variable Shortcut. For example, if current Focus is Sleep, then action button toggles bedroom lights. If current Focus is Work, then action button connects to Bluetooth speaker and plays Spotify.

I do full encrypted backups onto local storage, so I appreciate the faster data transfer (which only applies to the 15 Pro/Max right now, not the 15/Plus). My car's dashcam doesn't have wifi, so I rely on a microSD reader; transferring videos will be faster.

I already have USB-C to USB-C cables for my MacBook and iPad and previous Samsung devices, so I'm set.

Been seeing some silly sketches about people borrowing chargers from each other.

I don't even remember :(

College freshman flying back home for the summer. Not used to flying. Got to my gate about half hour before boarding. Hungry. Went to closest restaurant a couple gates away, got a burrito and ate at a table while listening to music with headphones. Lost track of time. That burrito had my full attention. Missed all the overhead calls for me. Plane had departed by the time I casually walked back to my gate.

That includes birds with arms, yeah?

Alright, I'll come clean, I sang that out loud.
