I had double-press issues a lot which were maddening, but I uodated the firmware and it went away

Yep, went with banana - purely for the clackety clack. I am a child

I’m at my machine 12+ hours a day, coding, data analysis, grant writing, etc.
I might play some online games too

I didn’t see any of the hype for the Barbie movie (apparently they painted streets in London pink?), but I just went in and saw it. Awesome film

Also: A laser tape measure. I always heard about people ranting about them, and often thought “I get it I get it you’re a child who likes shiny things”, but I finally got one and it is one of my most prized possessions. I can now find out the distance to things like THAT.

Didn’t live up the hype: I caved in and got a mechanical keyboard. A nice one. Keychron something such. I now have a heavy clackety-clack keyboard. That’s it. The usual plastic 15 quid keyboards I get are only every so slightly less good. Don’t buy into this fad. It’s for ASMR fanatics and their heavy wallets

I know, I guess I was just expecting something a bit more. Right now I feel preached to about something I already agree with.

For anyone wondering - comic strips don’t need to be witty or poignant to send a message, they can just state the message directly in the panel

That is some strong Conquistador energy these guys are vibing off… to be “educated” against your will

Yeah but he always does this – if it’s not a baboon on a motorcycle, he’ll be putting cats in monocle-petticoat-ensembles and placing them behind her

Same. Though I didn’t develop critical thought until my late 20s since I was basically in people-please mode 24/7 making myself useful to surrogate parental figures at my workplace.

There’s gotta be a balance

The real question is, to how many iterations does the hamster say “Eh, good enough”
