Everyone is chemical

I never liked it because of the security risk (it gives too much information, aids social engineering attacks against you and your employer), but using it with very limited and somewhat misleading information in my profile and it's horrible

Living in Australia, with China just to the north as our largest trade partner, I'm not looking forward to what is going to happen with America's allies in relation to China

RF isn't magic. It is awfully finicky though, so don't touch the BNC cable

They may filter incoming air, but I doubt it

People with little mechanical sympathy definitely have less luck with equipment

Having worked in tech support for a system that I knew very well, I often saw problems vanish when users attempted to demonstrate them with me present

People would say my tech aura made it work

Really though people just take more care when an expert is present, and so avoid whatever error their earlier carelessness caused

I wonder if people who experience the opposite encourage less care among those around them

In the stone age and during an ice age

It was fine until "the adpocalypse", when advertisers pulled their ads because they were being shown with offensive videos.

While YouTube has been trying to fix the problem the quality of the ads has reduced. So many advertisers now only go through sponsorship, which doesn't give any share to YouTube.

I originally learned qwerty and touch typed at 60WPM, during a really boring job before smartphones and before we had internet to the desktop at work and I entertained myself learning to type again, but on dvorak

So after 3 months I was back to 60WPM

I really like that dvorak has all the vowels on the left of the home row, and t and h are on the right of the home row right where finger tapping cadence works for "th"

So my speed hasn't increased, but my fingers don't need to move as much for common words. I don't think it's worth it if you play games on the computer, many games don't map keyboard controls well. Eg Minecraft moves everything to whatever key is in the same place as the qwerty key; 7 days to die doesn't change anything, so you need to choose keys for everything, or if you're happy with the defaults, just change the ones that conflict when you fix "wasd" to ",aoe"

The door lock failing should just disable the self cleaning mode
