The wife dug out some headphones from the old iPhone 4-5 boxes she found while cleaning up the house. I remember when they used to supply those (and also a power brick) while the phones were like 600-700 dollars.

Is there anything like free geek anymore?
I need just a basic display port cable from monitor to dock, I’d rather just grab a used cable for a buck or two rather than buy a brand new cable for $10+ seems so wasteful when I’m sure there are millions just laying around
Free geek and the oile don’t seem to be around anymore

But they also provide one less component to the customer, and more importantly, the box is slimmer, so they can fit more on a single pallet!

Most of the spare wall chargers I have are the old style 500mA ones, which aren't really good for anything. I only have a couple fast chargers.

Things aren't getting cheaper and they're providing us with less. What a win win for them...
of course, environmentally friendly blah blah blah, keeps cost of product down, blah blah blah. How convenient for them.

I feel like I spend ~$100 every year on charging bricks and cables. Kids go through them like crazy.

Days are getting colder and shorter. Before you know it, we'll be shovelling snow.
Never fails. PNE weather.
Worst part? Dollar Drink Days are almost over. To be honest, I think I've had two maybe three this year. Anyway, good news? Pumpkin Spice this pumpkin spice that............... time to get some scones at Cobbs.
Back to school ads............ yuck.

I'm sad about August wrapping up so quickly too. And we were just dealing with 30ºC weather 2 weeks ago.
And I am honestly really super extremely grateful that the on and off rain has returned. I know we desperately, desperately need it, and it is also good that it isn't the constant heavy rain that would lead to flooding. But selfishly speaking, I also know how much I want to be able to drive the fun car in some nice weather.
Before we know it, it'll be October and it's time to park the fun car for another season...

My fun car almost made it through the entire season without getting exposed to any wet weather. Meanwhile my beater has been sitting on the street for months, covered in dust. Hopefully the rain helped clean it up a bit, and hope it runs again in October!

"Tater Tots" is trademarked. So it has to be called something else.
It's like how "Kleenex" is the generic term a lot of people use for "facial tissues." but you can't use it officially.
I agree though, it's weird to not call them tater tots.
