中年生活观察-澄了么？

Yesterday, while searching the office storage room for discontinued products to test for a customer inquiry, I stumbled upon an old travel clock. It’s a slim model powered by a single CR2032 battery — the same type we use in many of our products. Luckily, I found a working one and, with the help of my trusted multimeter, replaced the dead battery. When I turned it on, the default date and time read January 1st, 2001, 00:00:00 . Without a manual handy, I experimented with the buttons on the back and eventually figured out that pressing and holding the Time Set button allowed me to manually adjust the time.

I could not always tell if the songs were truly great, but the attention and care surrounding them made them feel special. Music was rare, deliberate, intimate. As I grew older, I wanted music that could also teach me. I asked my father for an MP3 player—a small, no-name device with 128 MB of memory, enough for forty songs.

This printer identifies as Bob Marley because it just keeps on jammin. 图片上一个经典的双关语笑话： “ Jammin ’” 是 Bob Marley 非常著名的一首歌的名字（《Jammin’》） “jam”有另一个意思—— “卡纸” 笑点：将打印机的卡纸问题与Bob Marley的音乐风格结合起来，创造了一种幽默和非同寻常的关联。 

咋一看标题，是不是会和中年人一样总觉得哪儿有问题？ YouTube居然允许投放伤害自己利益的广告 。 广告屏蔽插件反而在投放广告 ，这听起来不仅矛盾而且讽刺。 不过，关键来点： 如果你的浏览器已经安装了广告屏蔽插件，你大概率不会看到这个广告 。 如果你看到这个广告，说明你是广告主的潜在用户 。往大了说，广告主的广告真正的受众几乎是100%的精准！
