My problem with the death of the headphone jack isn't the cost associated with buying a pair of wireless headphones.
The problem is that it's another device you have to keep charged.
That is clutter in our lives, another thing to think about, and it is a lack of taste.

How many things do you own that you already have to keep charged?
Why add another one.

I resurrected my Surface Pro 6 with the broken screen for an entertainment device. It has a headphone jack. My fucking Surface Pro X doesn't have one. In fact I probably broke something on the Surface Pro X by leaning it on its side on my bed against the dongle. The headphone jack, with the right-angle connector is DESIGNED for this use case.

The fucking dongles are a fucking step back.

After owning both a phone and a tablet without a headphone jack, in the future, I will make an effort to purchase devices WITH a headphone jack.

And I actually DO have wireless bluetooth headphones. It's just a pain in the ass to use with multiple devices. And switching between bluetooth devices is a LOT more steps than just plugging in the wire to a different device. I never use the bluetooth feature in the headphones anymore because it's a pain in the fucking ass. I don't even remember the last time I charged them for the wireless part.

THE DEATH OF THE HEADPHONE JACK AND ITS CONSEQUENCE HAVE BEEN A DISASTER FOR THE HUMAN RACE

I even chose to have a hard-wired vibrator just to not have another device to charge.

What makes a game stay alive like how chess stays alive?
Not even video games are capable of that.

A small shop called "Adult Toys" which sells literal toys for adults.

The toys should have an addictive kick to them, giving them replay value which lasts for 100+ hours.



The toys would include:
- Perplexus
- This set: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrkiJZKJfpY
- Legos, K'NEX, Lego Mindstorms, and other DIY creative toys
- Magic tricks and magic kits
- Novelty musical instruments
- Pranks
- Math toys which show off only the coolest phenomena
- T-shirts with cool math or information science concepts visualized on them. Each t-shirt comes with a card describing the concept shown.

Kinda like ThinkGeek but it's instead strictly a toy shop. With a focus on the toys being as addictive as possible.

The toymakers, whoever they may be, are encouraged to use unique and hand crafted build processes for the toys. This is to leave a fresh spin on the design of the toys, adding quality.

The store also has a preference for handheld single-piece toys over kits. Kits lose parts easily and are hardly portable. Something handheld can be carried to work with you.

Additional toys:
- The Helix Cube puzzle
- Holonomy mazes with customizable peg placements
- Borromean hairpins, but closed off at the ends.
- These dice. I just like them too much. >~<
- Metmo cubes.
- TIES magic system.
- Tensegrity Table
