   When I said “sturdy”, I was referring to the actual plug bolt itself. There are other places where the cable meets the plug head that are generally the most vulnerable for damage, regardless of the plug type (Lightning, USB-C, USB-mini or micro, etc).

   I’m thinking Trump has sleep apnea and doesn’t use a CPAC machine.

   This take isn’t quite the full story. When Apple came up with the Lightning port over a decade ago, it was considered a huge step forward and envied in the Android world since the main USB charging/data ports were quite standardized and none of them had an easy reversible yet sturdy design that Lightning did. So the USB vendor association got together to make a reversible USB plug that could send higher bandwidth data and higher charging rates for phones, laptops and other devices. Ironically, it was Apple who is a member of the USB association who gave them the work they’d done on a reversible connector, and it was Apple that first used USB-C before anyone else in the 2016 Macbook. So Apple ditching Lightning was going to happen anyway but probably not until Lightning ran its course as a 10 year standard and as it turns out, the iPhone 15 was about ten years in anyway. I doubt the EU really needed to mandate it….it was going to happen anyway.

   Blondie did age. The strip was first about a roaring 20’s flapper who eventually met the love of her life, the very wealthy scion of the CEO of the Bumstead Locomotive Works, Dagwood. Dagwood was not permitted to marry Blondie (she was lower social class) and in retaliation to his father, staged a month long hunger strike which literally gripped the nation (for readers in real life). After a month, his father relented on the marriage but disinherited from his fortune which forced Dagwood to get a real job at J.C. Dithers and settle down with the middle class (this was an especially good story in the middle of the Great Depression). The birth of Alexander followed (then nicknamed “Baby Dumpling”) and later Cookie. Both kids grew up to late teen years and only then did author Chic Young stop aging the characters. They have been frozen in time ever since.

   And in Nashville, there is an entire cult based on Christ through dieting. The founder died in a plane crash a few years back.
