I had that same thought some 35 years ago when I bought my new VCR machine and couldn’t figure out how to stop the clock from flashing 12:00 o’clock! I thought, “Sometime in the future people will invent an easier way to set the time on their electronic contraptions!” And that future is now. I just bought a new computer and the thing knew what the correct time was without any input from me. Amazing! I don’t even have to change the time when daylight savings time starts! Computer is damn smart by itself!

The USB symbol always faces up. I’m embarrassed at how long it took me to learn that.

Yeah. How do the cables do that? I think they’re mostly laughing at us.

I know that I can be wrong. It actually happened once. It was the time I thought I’d made a mistake.
