Writing always makes very clear to me the state of my brain.

I always have to move parenthetical or clauses to places where other brains can digest them more easily. But yes, it is asterisks and footnote city up in here.

People are the worst part of the internet

I hate everything about the new look and feel to Android. I would like a button to go back.

You can totally make good rice in a $30 rice cooker if you learn its quirks. ($200?!?!?!)

Yep :(

How will tariffs impact tech prices? I asked PC industry insiders Are all devices affected? How fast will costs jump? Is it a flat 20 percent increase? Will only US residents take the hit? We answer these questions and more.

I wanted to understand the fuller picture of how the tariffs will affect the prices of tech gear. So I asked industry insiders.

(Us: OooohhhhHHHHHhhHHhhhhhHHH.)

(That performer sweated some bullets, but pulled it off. We cheered very loud for him.)

Best random moment: Unexpected partner dance interlude.

(Why? Why not)
