Well, I was issued a Windows 10 based laptop at work for new safety the problem is I hate typing on touch screens larger than my phone. The keyboard they have me is a cheap chiclet style low profile rubber don't that feels like garbage. So, I built a small work station on the inside of the door for my tools box. Using a JD40 and a GH36. The GH36 has mouse controls so no mouse needed.

Is there an IP requirement for that machine? Looks dusty.

That tool box has been inside the plant for at least 15 year, and I work in a foundry.

Do you guys get to take home free roll of steel?

If so, can Tp4 haz some? Homedepot prices are ridiculous.

Melvang, Tp4 has responded to your mouse macro question, sorry we didn't see it for 2 weeks. Tp4 only provides guaranteed doomsday scenario service and planning in OT.

Spotted an SR71-Blackbird flying above my neighborhood. I'm about 96% sure that's what it was, they are huge and they have an extremely distinctive shape that looks like no other plane on the planet. But I was under the impression they were all decommissioned. Maybe it was doing a fly over for some event going on near by? Or Lockheed is testing an unmanned flight over the area?
And just like always I got caught up in the moment and forgot to pull out my phone for a video  :blank:

I wonder that it might have been a B-1 with its wings folded back.

The SR-71 is indeed like no other, but it is an antiquated design (and less than half the length of a 747).

And yes, NZ may be the best option.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

Sorry, I work in the John Deere foundry, so only cast iron parts.  No sheets or rolls of steel that aren't getting shredded.

Wow! That's some cyberpunk **** right there! All you need is to add an oscilloscope and a row of CD drives under the monitor housing.

Despite what the masses (and some ignorant doctors) say, those seat pads and donut cushions are worse for your butthole than not using one. It funnels excess pressure to that spot, making piles way worse. Take herbs instead.

Yesterday, when I was sitting in front of my PC, my glasses broke... frame cracked open. So today I had to go and get eye tests and pick new frame... hate when it happens cause its pretty expensive, even when I do that around every 4-5 years.

Ask them for the glasses prescription and buy glasses online for $5 each.

It's more than $5 if you want to cooler frames, but no more than $80.

:eek:
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

Say what you will about the downfall of society and the bleakness of our future, but if nothing else, at least Fortnite has taught our youth to always thank their bus driver.

Bus drivers in wealthy areas have it really good. The kids tip $500 per person on christmas.

3rd day of trying to train my left hand to be my mouse hand due to my ongoing, and I am sure now, lifelong shoulder injury that will never get better.
Much better control than day1, but not much improvement over day2. My accuracy is so bad, I've closed windows I'm using, skipped around in movies and shows, clicked cancel on emails instead of send. Very annoying.

Hang in there. And having mice on both sides is a great experience.

I had trouble until I switched sides on the left so that index finger could dominate.

It's usually a combination of The injury + Rheumatism + poor circulation.

Factors made worse by a diet focused on diseased Animal Corpses.
