One key disadvantage of wireless charging that had me abandoning it is the impossibility to use the phone while in charge, even setting/resetting alarm clocks or checking the weather forecasts will end up with a disconnection. This will mess up the battery on the long run.
Also I can't read my Kindle Unlimited for 16 hours straight this way  though I might bite the bullet and buy a dedicted reader, having ebooks on the phone means I can read anywhere anytime - waiting for my wife outside of a cosmetic shop? Waiting for the tube? Waiting for my order at a restaurant? I can cram a chapter or two there!

That's nothing short of terrible.
Now imagine everything going wireless. Demand is increasing all the time, capacity not so much. So basically we'd need to double capacity just to go wireless.

How do wireless chargers get their electricity? I am sure they have cables!

Especially math puns, they make me number.

Both of these really lit up my IFG
But the most interesting data concerns a little-known brain region called the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG), a ridge on the bottom half of the frontal lobe. The left IFG lights up more during funny puns than regular jokes, and shows more activity during funny puns than unfunny puns, the study found. So this tiny little area, it seems, is the part of our brain that distinguishes between funny and unfunny, at least in these participants and for these kinds of jokes.

The funeral of a cat.
Our neighbour in our apartment had a cat. Today morning, I found this cat lifeless in our basement - no signs of injury, nothing unusual, a year-old healthy cat, but the animal was lifeless. I immediately told their owner, and we had a pit dug up in the open space of our apartment, and buried the cat along with the chanting of hymns and offerings of milk and water. The owners of this cat were inconsolable. We prayed that this cat get a better body in its next life, and sent the cat. (In the Indian system, we believe in transmigration of the soul, or reincarnation).
Not a physical pain, but indeed a painful experience bidding goodbye to the cat.

Since pets are family members, loosing a pet is loosing a family member. As a pet owner, thank you for honoring your neighbor's pet.

Just a thought. You might want to check CO levels in the basement. A faulty water heater or furnace could be producing lethal levels at floor level. CO is heavier than air.

We are in the tropics, and there is no need of water heater or furnace at any time of the year. The basement is open to air and is used for vehicle parking.

Then you might check for spills of anti-freeze from the cars. Cats are drawn to drink it, but it will poison them.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

I am not sure whether cars in the southern part of India use anything like anti-freeze. Outside temperatures rarely go below 20 degrees C.
However, I feel that the cat ate something which turned out to be poison. Not sure what.

Antifreeze is the coolant used in all vehicles, internal combustion or electric.
|
|
|
|
|
Also, antifreeze does more than just lower the freezing point. It also helps raise the boiling point of the coolant and it also has lubricants (to lube the water pump) and anti-corrosion additives to keep the radiator from clogging.

Parents often say "you won't understand until you have children of your own."
I think that goes for pets as well.
And as a pet owner who's lost pets before, I totally understand 
|
|
|
|

Not even close. I see these statements from people who have never had children and the thought that pets are comparable to kids is laughable. I would sacrifice myself in a heartbeat for my kids. No one does that for a pet.
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Yeah, I'm not saying pets are like children (although they are in some aspects, especially babies and toddlers, but pets are way cuter ).
I'm saying people who don't have them don't know what it's like to have them.
Some people downplay the loss of a pet by saying "it's just a pet", but they wouldn't say that if they had pets.
Pets are part of the family and my cat Jiji can make me laugh out loud and I love cuddling with her.
When my last cat died I tried to not be at home for a few weeks, couldn't even talk about it without instantly bursting into tears.
Unfortunately, you'll most likely outlive your pets 
Luckily the years of joy and memories make up for it
The joys and pains are very real.
I hope to never find out what it's like to have children, can't stand the little buggers

There is a big difference between other people's "little buggers" and your "perfect little angels". You'll have to have kids to understand it...
