When read in the only proper order, it translates (for the non-technical types), to February 23rd, 2029.

I'm disabled. Wireless charging, especially when I can use the magnets that auto locate the coil, is a huge win.

(I also use charging wires with removable magnetic tips, that I leave in the device. But that wasn't the question.)

Just one more reason not to use Windows, As if forcing data scrapers down our throat in the guise of AI wasn't enough.

Defunded by some Trumpist stooge in 3... 2...

Irrelevant. If she benefits in any way, I'll have nothing to do with it.

Politics. Go look at his Wikipedia page, particularly the section on his character.

First off, I'm an American. Born a stone's throw from the location of one of the critical events in the history of the American revolution.

To answer the question, no. Leaving aside the whole Republic versus democracy argument, my point of realization was when one party seized upon a minor technical issue and disenfranchised countless voters via lawsuit, sufficient to allow the race to be called in their favor.

I'm sure there are many readers who believe I'm talking about 2016. For those readers, your keyword search is "hanging Chad".

Are these hypothetical people jealous of my wheelchair and my chronic pain too? Sentimental dribble.

What's funny is, most people on the ground that I have talked to about this issue agree that the world would be objectively better. They just don't want to make the effort if it would benefit somebody if they don't agree with.

Thomas Edison.

I'm not seeing a problem there.

Growing up in Miami, I made that mistake too.

.... When I was six.

People in my own office don't listen to me, why would anyone on the street?

My state has a 'Ron' but otherwise I'd have suspected they were the same person, based on the description.

Reasonably well. The magnets aren't very strong, so the device in question pretty much has to be stationary while it's charging, also, while most of them allow data, it is almost always USB 2 speeds. Right now I'm using them to charge headsets, a Logitech trackball, and provide data for an Xbox controller.

I get them from Amazon; " magnetic USB charge wire" should be a sufficient search to get you in the ballpark.

Yes, that was the point.

Given that you aren't the only audience to a response, even someone who recognizes that it's a joke might add a little bit of context about, I don't know, how melting the fastener might contaminate the sample or grinding the fasteners might cause dust and sparks that could also contaminate the sample, so on and so forth.

That all being said, are you okay? Kneejerk responses like that don't usually come from good places.

That would be a nice change, actually.

Same carrot every year. This one just has an extra twist because it's an election year.

I'm just going to leave this 7-year-old post here and dream of a better tomorrow...

If there's one thing I know, it's that the human mind will always find a better way given enough time.
