    You need a new hobby. You could try joining us in Discord. It can be slow but there's a lot going on. There are people there doing other things than mining in SC,. You can get into combat, or whatever interests you. Some are even playing other games. As for me, I enjoy most of this thread...

    Razer (peripherals) speaks to my heart!

    I'm with you there. We've had largely the same keyboard technologies since at least as far back as the mid or late 60's, and we inherited it from teletype equipment and typewriters. They go back to IDK, the the 1860's? I looked, the QWIRTY layout goes back to 1874. lol, that makes it just a...

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    These circular arguments are getting incredibly boring. So what then do you suggest? Do we Wait until we have a definitive answer (there are virtually none in science), Take a guess based on what we do know? Just let whoever do whatever they want? I think the unfortunate thing is that we're...

    Razer (peripherals) speaks to my heart!

    Yeah I have that same keyboard, and it's little sister (K360). It's been a good keyboard in the past, but the characters are not large enough, and it is not backlit therefore almost useless for me. If I can't see the keys properly, I can't even use it for long. That's why a $20 piece of shit is...

    Webb Space Telescope Takes Flight

    So do a lot of us, but seriously... we can't even get to even the closest one in less than a few lifetimes given current tech... pipedream on though, that's how stuff gets invented.

    Foundation Fest Free Fly and Roadmap Update

    Yeah but I like em shaved elsewhere. Especially if they shave their legs. @Montoya? Ignore this please? I don't want NinjaGirl saying anything about cuts on your legs.

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    I asked why medical staff wear masks. Is it to protect themselves or you (i.e. the patient) - Your answer sounds like you wanted to answer a question about gloves. I can answer about gloves too, I'm supposed to be using them but I generally don't bother unless I need to touch a lot of stuff to...

    Question. Why do hospital staff wear masks? Is that to protect them, or to protect you? edit.. I should ask the other half. Why to research chemists, and industrial workers wear masks too?

    Razer (peripherals) speaks to my heart!

    I have both wired and wireless Logitech keyboard and mice that I sometimes use, I could love them but I'm not happy with Logitech keyboards in general. Not related to their overall design, just the keys themselves. I need full size, dark keys with white backlit letters, but good quality...

    Yeah, I am not a fan of Razor at all. This is what I use. You can change the glowing logo to whatever you want, including yellow. Also it's usually cheaper on Amazon...

    Actually that is not what virtue signaling is (not a discussion for this forum and you can look it up if you like) but yes there is a problem with the data presentation. Not the data, just the presentation. It has a political overlay that was not intended by the authors of the data, and...

    Finally Made it to Space

    Hey, I'm Canadian too, but I live in Texas. Not my fault. It's just that my wife (a Texan) is scared of shoveling snow, but apparently she likes to mow the grass when it's 41 C with 95% humidity. Welcome to TEST!

    I saw the roadmap update on the RSI site, but didn't read it very well... that's why I love these videos.

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    Trying this again. you got most of it right, except the part where we've had over 2 years now to adjust what we thought we knew with the reality. It's an airborne virus btw, which means airborne is the primary way it is transmitted. That is not to say it is the only way transmission occurs...

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    Like I said, it does not match your narrative. The purpose of the mask was not to protect you. It was to catch some of your sputum to protect others from you. To do that, you only need a barrier, not an N-95 respirator, although they work better. An N-99 is even better, but nonetheless a...

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    And you are glossing over several things as well. You can't be selective in your argument and not allow selectivity from others. You are also wrong about the purpose of wearing a mask. Do you remember what that was for? Apparently not from recent comments... but I think you actually do...

    Pretty heavy reading. Maybe spike the hot chocolate with some kind of whiskey or scotch to help it along ... well now I made myself thirsty.

    Isn't immune escape fun? Masks are not a bad idea. BTW I have just recovered from Omicron caught during a trip in Canada. It's not all that fun to have. Here's some technical mumbo jumbo but from a reputable US source: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2206576
