"It's easy to lose devices when you travel so just get a shit ton of devices. If you're a big enough of a fuckup to lose them all then you've got bigger life problems anyway."

I like good advice that, upon hearing it, seems obvious enough it can be misinterpreted as a dig at one's competence. I'm much more likely to follow it and get my ass saved (I'm the kind of medium grade fuckup that would lose all but one of them).
