Can you imagine if someone pulled this nonsense in the states???

Anyone who has had to troubleshoot anything Windows related knows just how useless anything from a Microsoft website is.

Are you joking or are there really psychopaths on this board?

As a 36 year old who smoked almost daily from the age of 13 until 33, I can tell you that there are a lot of benefits to not smoking.

What is the value in federating Nextcloud instances? Sharing calendar info and stuff like that?

Still haven’t played this one. Maybe I’ll play it on PC first!

THPS.

Great review of several high end mice, wired and wireless. He found no correlation between wires and latency. Ultimately, he concludes that the most important properties of the mouse are weight and feel.

I don’t like the feeling of the cable dragging on the desk. Or the cable snagging on the monitor stand, or anything else on the desk.

I also prefer the aesthetics of a wireless mouse. One less cable to manage. The charge cable is tucked away and only comes out every week or so to charge overnight.

Yeah, my keyboard has a cable but my keyboard doesn’t move, and it’s a pretty sexy (and heavy) cable so it’s different than a mouse cable.

As for latency, from what I understand in many cases a wireless mouse can have less latency than some wired mice. So that’s nice too.

I guess the main downside is weight but that has never bothered me. That said, I’m not a competitive fps player, but even so some wireless mice are quite light.

I agree with everything except a wireless mouse. I have a magnetic usb “nub” that plugs into the mouse so when I need to charge it every couple of weeks it’s as simple as moving the mouse near enough the magnetic cable and it pops into place.

For me, the benefits of a wireless mouse far outweigh the imperceptible-to-me lag from the 2.4ghz dongle 10cm away in clear view. The only downside I can see is the weight of the battery, but I’m not a competitive FPS player so I’m good.

I’ve heard of people serious about coffee who use sugar. How much do you use? I’ve also seen people brew with sugar right in with the coffee grounds - do you do that or do you add it to your cup?

One of the hardest things to let go of when I gave up smoking pot was rolling joints. The ritual was so calming, and after several decades, a huge part of my life. But preparing a pour over coffee is so similar to that: wetting a paper, grinding, strong smells, heat. Not to mention the flavours of the different strains and the tinkering with the process to get the most out of your “stuff”. Only now I don’t bumble on like an idiot for 3 hours!

Nice. I quit smoking weed and reduced my alcohol intake to near zero a few years ago. To make up for all of the lost ritual, I dove deep into coffee brewing. It’s the only part of my day that I have complete control over and I love that.

I will try those beans! Thanks for the tip.

Coffee

Sure but you can liquidate cryptocurrency to pay your taxes using fiat.

What about cash?

For me it’s the instant messaging apps like Messenger. Convincing folks to switch to Signal just for me feels evangelical somehow.

Prologue is an iOS app that can play audiobooks from a Plex library. I didn’t know they were working on ABS compatibility but that would be great. As much as I love ABS, Prologue is far more polished.

I prefer over the shoulder games like GTA with keyboard mouse and controller.

Controller for general navigation and when a firefight starts to go down, my right hand switches to the mouse and my left hand is still on the controller, resting on the desk. When the firefight starts getting hectic the controller gets dropped and it’s WASD from there on out.

Wait those are all issues? I may hold off on buying the game then.

Wow this is huge!
