I'm really sorry, your avatar is giving me a boner and while that is perfectly OK and I don't want to kink shame anyone, its making me feel really weird getting a boner in a Trump thread.

How do you find the split keyboard works for you? I've been considering one for some time as I have fairly broad shoulders

It took about a month to get fluent in but it's been great. Really reduced my wrist and elbow pain. I also combined it with a vertical mouse.

The hardest thing about it is getting all your layers set up how you like then forcing yourself to use them. I'm a quicker more accurate typer now with this than I was with a standard board because it forces you into good habits like actually using your home row.

The one I've got is an Ergodox which is considered the gold standard and has a really good key programming tool and the ability to store 2 re-recordable macros on separate keys. It's also open source so if you're so inclined you can buy the PCBs and other components yourself and make it as you'd like. I wish I'd gotten blank sculpted keycaps instead of the printed ones now as I never look at them any more.

In yet another round of mixed messages, NSW schools are staying open but the premier has told parents to keep their kids home.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian says schools in the state will remain open, but has encouraged parents to keep their children at home to contain the spread of coronavirus.

MyGov has crashed.

Our school is unfortunately the sort of place that kids come to so that they are out of the house rather than being somewhere that kids come to to learn. There still seems to be a largish number of kids here today which is kinda hosed

On the balcony yesterday arvo, saw an old man yelling at a 30yo woman from his car. He’s stopped at the bottom of a driveway and it’s back and forth about visibility. He says some Nono Words. He’s telling her to come closer etc and she tells him no and drives off.

Young guy across the street shouts out “you are a prick”. “Who’s a prick” old man shouts back. “You are, you prick”. Words continue and old man whips his car around to park next to where the young guy is. Words continue. “How brave are you?” The theme.

Old man hops out, advances threateningly. Young guy squares up and just 1 shot owns the old gently caress into the gutter. Bowls shirt on bitumen; sensible sunglasses in the middle of the street. Just loving sent the guy down.

Words continue - old man is stunned at what happened - “I cant believe you just hit me! I have cancer! I’m sick! You can’t hit people! I have three witnesses, I’ll go to the cops. !” He’s trying to film and sputtering.

Neighbouring balcony, top of their lungs: “you are a prick and no one is on your side”.

Lessons: people are acting out from stress. Don’t try to fight someone 25 years younger than you, or if you have cancer. Don’t say nono words. Don’t hop out the car if you’re in your sixties.

Additional lesson: bogan poo poo like street fighting can happen in the nicest suburbs. Be smart out there Ausgbs

Went to a wholefoods kinda place in Maitland yesterday on my way home

Oh boy did they sell this for about $1.20 a litre to the local anti Vax community: 10 stage treated water

Two stages were a vortex, to "replicate natural tumbling"....okay

One stage was charcoal filtration (not actually necessary unless it has specific stuff in it)

But guys

One stage was playing happy music or something similar to the music to "re energise it"

Oh my god

Quick let's create some other extra step to sell it to hippies for $2 a litre
