My computer broke at the end of July, and at the end of an arduous process, which included two onsite technicians and sending it to the factory, it finally seems to be working again. This is the second time it’s been repaired right before the launch of a Warcraft expansion. I was planning to buy a new computer soon before all of this, but now I want to push that back at least to avoid dealing with computer manufacturers again.
Anyway, in the interim, I was playing Warcraft on my basic work desktop after playing it almost exclusively on laptops for at least 12 of the 13 years I’ve been playing the game. Touch pad instead of mouse through all of that. It worked for me. I liked having both of my hands on one surface. But since I’ve been playing on the desktop for months, I’ve become accustomed to that, and when I got the laptop back, I quickly realized it was time to buy a mouse for it.
And I did.

Best mouse?
Mighty springs to mind.
I just dreamed I was walking through an Apple store or something, but in addition to all the normal displays where they have devices you can try, they had this one section with potato chip samples that were put up in the same kind of fancy way with descriptive cards and plush backing.
And I tried some. And I knew this was in the midst of a pandemic. I also knew there’d be every reason for me not to do that even without the pandemic. I don’t eat things I just find. With two exceptions, I don’t eat things I don’t make for myself. I definitely don’t eat potato chips.
But in the midst of a pandemic, I ate these potato chips that had just been sitting on a store counter as some little kid was just running around them. In fairness, that was what the chips were there for.

Strongest Chip?

For most of 2020 at least, I was having this weird problem with my Uber app where it would say my arrival time would be around 7:15 in the evening regardless of starting time and destination.
When the time came in the spring to get a new phone after years, I assumed a side effect would be resolution to that weirdness. Not so much. I continued to ignore the issue.
Then Uber started acting up late upon one summer night until it revealed the cause for that evening’s behaviour was its urgent need of an update.
And that solved it.
Bonus Question.
Tastiest Uber?
Bubble.
