Yep, that happened to us where we used to live. All the scum from the surrounding neighborhoods would come over with garbage bags and pillow cases dumping all the huge buckets of candy into their bags. We also had a neighbor who made snowballs with rocks inside of them, fun neighborhood -_-

is this the true motivation behind people binging on keycap buys..

They sux at typing, then they buy caps to make themselves feel better?

And then they spend too much time looking at their caps rather than practicing.. and then this type of thread crops up...

Still waiting for you to check in tp.


Anyway, I would like to see someone typing at 150 wpm in real life situations for a long period of time  ;)


But I agree that if you can type at 150 wpm (or 100+ even), it's an asset if you use the keyboard a lot!

many factors.. sleep.. time of day.. food intake.. energy level.. muscle recovery period.. 

just those things can add up to 10-25 wpm on your score.

My max WPM at Typeracer is 113, have gotten it like 20 times, and 100+ probably 50 times as well. Out of maybe 300 races. When I see I am at like 120 wpm etc, I get so fkin nervous... CAN'T HANDLE THE PRESSURE, so I start messing up and end up sub 120 always... My hands starts to shake and my heart starts to beat a lot faster. :( :(

10fastfingers is impossible for me, since I don't have control whether or not I've done a typo and that stresses me out, not to mention mindlessly typing for 1 min straight is really gay and shouldn't count. Typeracer is the real way to determine typing speed/skills imo.

90-92WPM.  I think I'm gradually improving in terms of accuracy, but the speed's been the same for a long time, maybe slightly improving.  Mostly haven't needed to be faster for anything I do, so I've been content.  Accuracy is a more important factor for me.  On bad days, I can make some typos here and there, especially when coding and switching from numbers to symbols to letters.

PARANOIA IS FUN!

that's not paranoia..

That's major personal insecurity..

The most memorable people are the most insecure ones though.
Besides the root of all great comedy is major personal insecurity.

well it is possible that your theory is correct in the sense that someone who is preoccupied with their inadequacies "would" generally be more motivated to improve; maybe even beyond their more "secure" compatriots.

However, I believe that children are born "secure" then when you subject them to advertising campaign, thats when they form an "ego" to protect themselves..

how crazy is this crazy?

Schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar, drug induced psychotic states, etc, etc, etc.  I get to go visit the whole range of crazy people.  From those who are managing their crazy to those in locked facilities because they're a danger to the public crazy.  My favorite so far is the guy with the tattooed face.  Sadly no literal wankers yet.  Someday I will see the happy public masturbator and be simultaneously disgusted and happy.  I am also told seeing naked asses is not uncommon, though I have yet to see one.

Maybe I should start a thread about the crazy **** I'll be seeing in my job.  It's one of those things where it's simultaneously sad and hillarious.

Practices yesterday. Best score was 62 wpm on 10fastfingers. In French (even if I am at ease in English, I need to think a little more about how the words are written, my brain seems to first read the word and then my fingers types the word as I know him, so it's faster in French even if some letters like ç ruins my score all the time).


Accuracy is my main problem for sure lol! At least I am quick with the backspace ...

Join me fellow peasants. For we do not deserve to own mechanical keyboards but go against nature and still buy them.

Mx and topre users alike. This is our support group.

demik, my friend, you have it backwards:  the working class types fast because they have to.  I pride myself on never topping 40 wpm.  Slow and steady.  Sip of Sherry.  Type a little more.  Pop off to the club for a spot of squash.

Just got my DASkeyboard blue last week. Starting to improve my speed but it will take me several months to get my speed back up. Hoping to modify with O-rings and maybe Elite landing pads. Got to get back to active finger return and short keystrokes. I hate slow typing. Interferes with my thinking.

as a show of good will towards our 150wpm+ overlords, http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=51264.0 check that out.

we'll miss you when you join them. until then, free milk and cookies here!

I went over to the typing test that people show below and I managed a 62. Not great but I'll take it since it is on a keyboard that is modified (O-rings) and this is the first time typing on it. Daily practice is the only way to get your speed up.

i used to be able to type really fast when I was in school, i think i avged 135 WPM
but then again i was typing research papers and what not.

Recently i think im down to 80 or 90 mainly because of carpal tunnel that's developed on my left hand in the last 2 years.
Also affects me playing videogames.  My wrists and hand just get really sore after like 30 mins of gameplay/typing.
