Hang in there. It gets a little better every year.

Which is the most satisfying IO connector system, in your opinion? in c/[email protected]

I'm glad that most of the older formats are gone. Screws are cumbersome, USB formats were intentionally varied for profit, and molex would break itself before you could seat it properly.

I love USB-C for its universality and SATA cables are a nice alternative to the old IDE. I wish they'd come up with a better solution to the plastic clips on my Ethernet and PSU cables.

As for my favorite... Maybe 3.5mm? I mean, it's old as dirt but still super functional. Nice chunky clicks and usually a solid connection. I miss having a 3.5mm port on my phone. It obviously has some drawbacks, but it's a solid contender.

Gas life? in c/motorcycles

Afaik there isn't a definitive timeline for gasoline expiration, it simply degrades over time so the longer it sits the more likely it is to damage your engine. If you're worried about it sitting for a while you can add some stabilizer.

Personally, I have let high octane gas sit in a car for almost a year and it still ran, no obvious issues, but I wouldn't recommend it.
