Those fake bacon bits that are bright red and crunchy that people put on their salads and such are made from soy. The real stuff that is chewy is def still pork.

Don’t forget Monster energy drinks! /s sort of. I take a supplement though lol

Disclaimer: I daily drive, including write code, on a Ferris Sweep.

Each of my 4 thumb keys are tap for space, tab, enter, and backspace. But I hold one of those keys and I enter a dedicated layer for navigation, a 10-key number pad, a custom symbol layer, and my media and F-keys.

It does take a bit of getting used to but the trade off is holding an extra key compared to having to lift my hand off of home row and moving to arrows, number row, number pad, etc. I basically never have to look at where my hands are and still retain 100% functionality of a full size board.

Dark mode all day and redshift set based on the sunrise and sunset on both desktop and phone. I won’t go back.

Also I’m gonna do another suggestion for Dark Reader browser extension. It’s great!

I think for others it’s having different switches and keycaps for different feeling when typing. For me it’s trying to find what I think is the most optimal typing experience and the least amount of strains on my hands while typing.

That’s why I’ve gone from row stagger and qwerty to Ortholinear. I switched to that because it makes sense to me that your fingers move up and down better than they move laterally. Lateral movement like in a row stagger layout is more strain since you have to stretch to reach keys. Qwerty also never made sense to me since alphas aren’t optimized based on location but rather purposefully unoptimized as a hold over from the typewriter days in order to slow down typists to help stop keys from jamming.

When I was on my Ortho boards I learned about layer switching that allows for keys that are further away to be moved under my fingers by activating a second layer. This was when I moved from my 60% Ortho to my 40% Ortho.

After that I got interested in ColemakDh since it fixed a lot of what is wrong with qwerty. So I decided to learn it. Then I got real into column stagger and wanted to try my hand at soldering. I ordered the parts to make a board called a Cantor Remix. I had enough parts to build 2 and did that. Building my own keyboard from basically parts and programming was a lot of fun and I got bit by the bug.

It’s a dumb argument since most people don’t care but I believe that something like a column staggered layout and something like Colemak or Canary should be the standard keyboard format. It’s hard to relearn typing all over again as an adult so the default is an archaic row stagger that feels unnatural and a very unoptimized alpha layout. I know most people just don’t care and I hyper focus on stuff so it’s just something I don’t bother telling most people, unless they ask of course.

I don’t think everyone needs a bunch of keyboards but I’m on this weird journey to find what feels the most optimized for me. I’m deep in the rabbit hole lol.

If you haven’t been tainted by the mechanical keyboard hobby, be aware.

I started with a TKL with Outemu blue switches just to see what the hype was about, then moved to Anne Pro 2 with Gat browns.

Ortholinear made sense so I got an XD75 followed my a Planck after getting curious about 40% boards.

Now I make my own from printed PCBs and soldering, custom programmable firmware, and my own custom key map.

I now use a split column staggered 34 key board with hand dyed keycaps and custom aftermarket switches.

I own 7 boards now and have plans for at least 2 more and a partial split for gaming.

I felt this when I was on Lexapro for my severe depression. I gave up on jumping through hoops and weened off because I didn’t also need micro anxiety attacks from feeling like I was gonna run out of meds while waiting on bullshit red tape theatrics.

I think I kinda agree with both of you on this. I def knew what I was voting for when I voted for Biden. Not happy at all but it wasn’t Trump. I’m in a deep red state “that is turning purple any day now” but that doesn’t really make good options for us comrades in any case. I think to clarify, I am throwing my vote away regardless of if I vote blue, red or 3rd party because that is our current system. 3rd party really isn’t feasible right now but we’ll see if the younger millennials and gen Zerrers keep pushing left(which I hope they do).

I’m pretty jaded about the whole thing so anymore I just vote for Not the Republican when it comes down to it.

After talking to a few people in the Dem party, I think the writing is in the wall that they don’t wanna move left. Their “only goal is to win election” as one member put it. And they think that is to keep pushing old white dudes and show some pride flags in June.

I’m gonna be slowly removing myself from the Dems anyway. I’m a sitting member of my local club and they just don’t wanna do anything. They keep asking how to get more young people involved and I keep telling them the young people are either socialist or alt-right. They aren’t gonna maintain a base unless they move left.

I sent my app in to join the Marxist Unity Group this morning. And I’m reaching out to the local DSA chapter to see if they are dead and will gauge the possibility of reviving it. Anyone in this space in the Panhandle looking to get involved maybe reach out?

TL:Dr; I vote for the old white guy with the blue on his sign because I’d be throwing my vote away regardless.

Now I wish I would have went with a Marx themed user name instead of just the pfp lol.

Who’s Karl Marx?

I fell for the bait at first but going back and reading their comments, ita actually hilarious.

It’s us, we’re the spoopy ghost!

I’m still playing Dyson Sphere Program when I have time but it’s been busy. I got my sphere mostly done in my home planet and have a sphere design in mind for my next but I need to get endgame white science on farm first before that. I think I’m actually starting to lose interest in the game which is fine sing I got a few hundred hours in. That’s rare for my attention span.

My kid and I finished Mario Odyssey on this playthrough recently. He ended up playing most of the second half and was knocking out levels on his own. Can’t lie I was both impressed and proud of him. He’s actually currently working through postgame stuff now which I didn’t even know existed.

I’m still not done with Antimatter Dimensions… I’m on the last mechanic and about halfway through it but I think I’m ready to be finished with it.

Well I’m gonna hold on to this statistic for later use. The absurdity of 14 million being imprisoned is enough that is should stand on it’s own but maybe the direct comparison to the US prison system might drill it home a bit more.
