Your keyboard should have two nubbins on it so you can easily find the F key without looking (it puts your hands in the home row). If your keyboard doesn’t have these, then either it’s 100 years old and someone is typing with the force of a gorilla, or you have an extremely strange keyboard.
The real tricky part are the less used symbol keys.
Right??? Like wtf I thought everyone just thought about how everything could go wrong all the time. You mean people do things and expect to succeed instead of expect to fail??? This is legitimately wild to me.
I’m not at all excusing it, but don’t prisoners technically get paid for their work? It’s just some horrifically pathetic wage like $0.50/hr or something like that.
Smartboards are much smaller than most room-sized whiteboards and are infinitely more expensive. Smartboards have certain use cases, but in many situations they don’t make sense.
Idk what in the world you’re talking about. This is a totally relatable sentence that I say all the time. You’re the weird one here if you don’t access to 615 giraffes. Sheesh.
How odd. I’ve never done my of those things and I grew up on computers. I even used computers as my main way of socializing for most of my life and I’ve still never done those things.
Well…I say that but I’ve definitely stood up and yanked stuff to the floor while wearing headphones many times before. But I have done it for years before I even so much as held a Bluetooth headset. It’s just easy to get entangled in wires.
That other stuff is so incredibly odd to me though. I’ve never forgot that i’m not using a computer before.
I used to regularly snooze my alarm which i had set for 7:00, however recently i have noticed that i directly wake up by my alarm at 7:10 and don’t remember snoozing my alarm!...
Nope. It doesn’t at all matter how much sleep I’ve gotten. Even if I consistently get 9 hours of sleep every day for the entire week, it still feels so good to snooze. Obviously it’s easier to not snooze as much if I’ve slept more, but it still feels fucking amazing.
It has always been this way for me, no matter how much or how little sleep I get. It’s wild to me if you don’t experience this.
I tried using weird apps like this. But I find that my dumb lizard morning brain just gets confused at why the loud device won’t stop screaming at me. I briefly tried apps that made you solve a simple puzzle to dismiss the alarm, but my half asleep self didn’t understand what was going on and would just hold down the power button to turn off the phone and still be late.
After years and years of trying different methods, what works for me is having two alarms.
The first alarm is physically very close to you. It rings first. This alarm is easy for you to notice and wake up to, but also easy to shut off if you’re half asleep. That’s fine because it’s only the first attack.
The second alarm is across the room from you. It rings second, some time after the first one has gone off. This is your failsafe alarm in the event you accidentally snooze too much or turn the first alarm off. Because it’s far away from you, it wakes you up a bit to walk across the room so you’re more aware of what you’re doing. Also because it’s far away from you, if you try to use it as the first alarm instead of the second, you might not hear it and not wake up to it. This is why it is the second alarm and not the first or only alarm. You’ve already woken up once with the first alarm, so you’re more likely to still be able to hear this one and wake up.
I had chronic and significant issues with shutting off my alarm when half asleep all throughout my teenage years and early twenties to the point where it threatened and even sometimes affected my grades. This is the method that finally worked for me and I have rarely had an issue since.
Not really a mantra, but I try to remind myself that the only thing that seems to be certain in life is change. If you’re in a shitty spot, just wait for the change. Will it be a change for the good or a change for the bad? You can’t always predict it, but it WILL change. Often, that means when I’m in a shitty mood or scenario, I wait for the change to happen in a more positive direction.

I shit my pants in school at a similar age and left it in my pants the rest of the day. Good lord that was major cringe. Ruined my favorite pants too. I almost forgot about that until your comment.
Imo, it’s absolutely fantastic for things like cards and gift bags.
People only look at a card for like 30 seconds and then forget about it. It makes more sense to get one at 1/6 of the price of a regular one. Same thing with gift bags.
For most other things, everything in it is shit. But it has its niche cases where it’s superior like that.
I’m guessing it might be because tax rates vary so wildly in the US. Every state has their own percentage of state taxes, and then many counties and cities have their own specific tax rate on top of that.
A company might sell a product nationwide, and it’s easier for them to do national advertising that their product is $100 + local taxes than it is for them to make hundreds upon hundreds of different local ads with a precise dollar amount.
I was having a friendly discussion with someone this morning about PC and Laptops for work/education stuff, he suggested that I could use a chromebook for all this stuff and this would be a good idea and make things easier. I strongly disagreed with this, mainly because I hate laptops, the keyboard and touchpad make me angry and...
A laptop can be a full fledged computer. Chromebooks are specialty devices that lack the functionality of a standard desktop or laptop computer. I’m not sure if the term “netbook” is still used these days, but that’s how I would describe a Chromebook. It’s not a full laptop.
I prefer a full laptop, not a Chromebook. I am not a power user, so it can run all of the games I play on it just fine (high end modern games will not work obviously). I can take it with me anywhere and it was a lifesaver for note taking in grad school. If I’m traveling, I can just stuff it in my backpack and go.
At home, I keep my laptop connected to a keyboard, mouse, and an additional monitor, giving me dual monitor support. It’s easy to bring that desktop comfort you’re used to to it.
