Taking them apart and not putting them back together within 48 hours .....
Citizens United violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president.
So now we’ve just seen a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and expect and sometimes get favors for themselves after the election’s over.”
- Jimmy Carter 2015

Bottoming out quite a bit

We all have them, so let's gather around and confess. I'll start..

Instead of using F5 to refresh, I do so by pressing CTRL + R. Not only that, but I browse with my left hand fixed on the CTRL + R keys. This places unnecessary strain on my hand.

Swap Caps with Control, and that strain goes away. It's miraculous.

Sitting too close, so that my arms are making a /      \    shape

That's actually not that bad, as long as you're wrists are straight. It's the unnatural wrist position that puts the most strain on you while typing (typically). My forearms are usually at close to a 45 degree angle when typing.

As far as my bad habits go, on a standard keyboard layout I hit the backspace key with my ring finger, and only use my right thumb for typing. Otherwise I'm pretty much picture-perfect.

Plastic is just more accessible and I can chew through anything really. Strong ass teeth that need to kill stuff. Like every water bottle I have has been destroyed. Gotta try a keycap one day

Definitely, I'll send you some of my special stock

and most of ya'll seem to have some form of "impulse control disorder"

kinda like finger-biting// hair pulling

I think everyone has their own little think

Whaaaaaaat

You've made me curious now, how does ABS taste compared to PBT?

Haven't tried pbt yet...need to find a cheap source

I use my ring finger for some things I should use my pinky for. Notably the backspace. <gasp!>
