Small-Scale Question Sunday for September 25, 2022

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

Posted because I didn't see Zorba post one today. Feel free to delete if that's an issue.

Limiting to things that I've known people to forget or not think of:

  • Chargers (this is the #1 forgotten item among people I know)

  • Plug adapters, if traveling somewhere with a different electrical system

  • Mouse (you CAN work on the trackpad for two weeks, but it's much less comfortable)

  • Work shoes, if traveling in comfortable shoes (somehow shoes are much easier to forget than shirts or trousers)

  • Download or print out your tickets and hotel reservations

  • Spare phone, if traveling somewhere where roaming is expensive (it's often much cheaper to buy a local sim card rather than paying roaming fees for data)

Obviously also ID, bank cards, phone, laptop, clothes etc as others have said - but those are obvious enough that you're not realistically going to forget them.
