Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

My iPhone keeps going from “light” to “dark” mode. It should not bother me, but it does.

I prefer light mode because that's what I have become accustomed to. The dark mode is ok but feels a little funny.

It is weird; cashiers don't seem to know what to do with it despite having the normal chip and a stripe. Evidently the weight of it and the fact that there is no info on it except your name seems to baffle some people.

I have only used it online.

It doesn't have a raised name and numbers like a proper credit card.
