Growing up in Miami, I made that mistake too.

.... When I was six.

My state has a 'Ron' but otherwise I'd have suspected they were the same person, based on the description.

Reasonably well. The magnets aren't very strong, so the device in question pretty much has to be stationary while it's charging, also, while most of them allow data, it is almost always USB 2 speeds. Right now I'm using them to charge headsets, a Logitech trackball, and provide data for an Xbox controller.

I get them from Amazon; " magnetic USB charge wire" should be a sufficient search to get you in the ballpark.

Just one more reason not to use Windows, As if forcing data scrapers down our throat in the guise of AI wasn't enough.

I'm disabled. Wireless charging, especially when I can use the magnets that auto locate the coil, is a huge win.

(I also use charging wires with removable magnetic tips, that I leave in the device. But that wasn't the question.)

First off, I'm an American. Born a stone's throw from the location of one of the critical events in the history of the American revolution.

To answer the question, no. Leaving aside the whole Republic versus democracy argument, my point of realization was when one party seized upon a minor technical issue and disenfranchised countless voters via lawsuit, sufficient to allow the race to be called in their favor.

I'm sure there are many readers who believe I'm talking about 2016. For those readers, your keyword search is "hanging Chad".

That would be a nice change, actually.

Same carrot every year. This one just has an extra twist because it's an election year.
