If we know that the world is coming to turn to ash within a month, year or so, it’s going to be pure chaos all the way till the very end. Hopefully we can push those asteroids away long before they even come close.

Regardless of the size, I’m willing to let the moon take one for the team. If the asteroid is huge, there’s going to be lots of ejecta, some of which will hit earth. Still better than getting smacked in the face with a huge rock.

Love the orange-grey aesthetic. Also, the watch looks like it was designed by Compaq in 1994. 😄

Absolutely! It’s just that the keyboards that have a funky layout tend to be weird laptop keyboards. I have a few Ducky Shine keyboards that do have swappable caps, but they also have a good standard layout that doesn’t require me to mess around with the caps at all.

So far, I haven’t felt it necessary to get a proper desktop keyboard that also has an unusual layout. If that ever happens, getting orange arrow keys would be high on my list.

Have to say, the funky colors of that keyboard are actually pretty practical. Contrast that with most modern keyboards where every key is just black.

Sure, black looks cool, and it works too as long as the layout is normal. It’s jsut that I’ve used a laptop where the arrow keys were squeezed into a really odd place, and I can never find them with muscle memory alone. I have to look every time, so having some extra color would have been very helpful.

🇷🇺 I want you be miserable.

🇺🇸 Already on it.

🇷🇺 That’s a good boy. Now go and get wrecked.

🇺🇸 Anything you say.

🇷🇺 Don’t forget to suffer before you die. I want these things to happen in that exact order. Now, don’t screw this up! Oh, and make it quick. I don’t have all day.

🇺🇸 Yes daddy.

A baby capy is objectively the cutest animal possible. If there was a cuteness scale, this would score 100%. Kittens and puppies would probably be like 90…99%, but never 100%.

Those bondries are important. I don’t have a company of my own, but I still feel the need to separate work from the rest of my life.

When I got my work phone, I had the opportunity to make it my only phone. That could have been convenient, but I decided to keep my work hardware separate from everything else. Carrying two phones can be annoying, but I think it’s worth it. Besides, usually it’s enough to carry just one of them.

Now that it’s Sunday, the only reason for me the even touch my work laptop is to move it out of the way if I need the space for something else. The only reason for me to touch my work phone is to check the battery. It’s in power saving, so it can handle 2 days without any issues. Probably didn’t even need to check that today.

Also, the desk of my home-office is a dedicated work area, so work doesn’t happen anywhere else. When I sit in front of it, I’m in work mode. When I leave the desk, my mind automatically switches to chill out mode.

How would you hold an ice pick if you wanted to stab some ice really hard? Yeah, that’s how some movie protagonists hold swords in a sword fight. Good for stabbing, bad for defending and pretty useless for defeating your opponent.

How would you hold an axe when copping wood? Yeah, that’s the normal way to hold a sword. That’s how you don’t die within the first 2 seconds.

🤣 Yeah, that’s what I’m talking about. The look on Indy’s face says it all. He must have been thinking like: “Seriously? I don’t have the time or energy for this nonsense. I’m so done with this.”

Exactly. Better watch your distance, or you get stabbed in the chest. If you’re using a reverse grip, you’re basically begging for the other person to exploit the reach of their weapon.

Although, it can be cool to see dumb tricks fail spectacularly. Actually, that would be a really cool idea for a movie. The protagonist is the only one who takes it seriously, while everyone else is just trying to look cool. No plot armor is needed, because the protagonist can just exploit all the mistakes, and massacre everyone.

It’s the rule of cool, and yes, it is annoying. It manifests in all sorts of ways, and in sword fighting, there are some other cliches as well, such as having a very long fight, very short distance, spinning, sounds etc.

Just like with guns and explosions you have all sorts of weird reality defying things. Like, when was the last time you saw someone shooting and throwing grenadines in a mine or a tunnel? The sound and pressure damage is incredibly harmful in a closed environment like that, but that’s not cool, so the directors don’t care.

Realistically though, sword fights would be over in a few swings, and the reverse gripper would be bleeding on the ground. Throwing a grenade in a mine would end the shootout for everyone involved. Conmando style machine gun firing is just fantasy in every level, but oh boy, is it cool to watch.
