I just realized that I don't really need to watch breaking events like

The primaries or the Kentucky Derby. My phone buzzes me with the news as soon as it happens. I can just make sure its charged and take a nap. Its really foolish to hang one the internet. OK, maybe for the cat videos and the porn but thats really it.

I watched most of the pre-Derby stuff.... sat there for hours.... and went just like they predicted.

Congratulations to Nyquist and his humans.

Learning about events AFTER they've happened?
How can you stand to not have instant updates and gratification?
