I would argue that “data analysis” and “number crunching” are very good pocket skills to have.

I use the same kind of thing for decluttering the garage: if I haven’t used it in a year, then I don’t need to hold onto it. That includes small lengths of wire, spare car parts, boxes for things that are obviously working so I won’t need a box to return them in...

Okay, sue the bastards.

Heh, I was going to say “because Heroine would be obvious”

Seriously. How dare she move on with her life? Doesn’t she know her purpose in in this world is to be miserable and thus entertain everyone else in the world with her suffering? [/sarcasm]

Faster phone charging is nice... But what about recharging the battery itself?
