    People downvoting this either didn’t read it or don’t understand that this is mocking the original image.

    My curfew was garden hose

    I mean come on. This is clearly not meant to be taken seriously, and the fact that it is may be a testament to OP’s editing skills or those of whoever OP got the post from.







  • I just finished Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. It’s an awesome near future sci fi about an astronaut with amnesia trying to save Earth from impending doom.

    I love how technical Weir gets. He really makes me excited about math and science because he shows the practical application of it all. And I especially love the element of discovery that is prominent throughout, but especially in the beginning of the book. It just keeps getting better and better as the main character continues making discoveries about himself and his environment.

    The narrator, Ray Porter, did a fine job. He isn’t my favorite narrator, but he certainly didn’t get in the way, which is enough for me.

    Finally, I purchased and listened to the book on Audible.


  • I work on standard 104 key keyboards for my day job, but run an Iris Plus with custom keymap at home. I found that during the period that I was learning the Iris, my ability to type on a regular keyboard diminished slightly. I attribute this to the fact that for the first time in years I regularly had to think about what I was typing because I was learning a new layout. Once I pretty much had the layout memorized, I had no problem whatsoever switching back and forth.

    It might have also helped that I wasn’t typing exclusively on the ergo, so it may benefit you to practice on a standard layout every so often if you are concerned about slowing down.
