No good story has ever started with, "I ate a bag of oreos over the course of a whole day. "

Lol. Guess you're just cursed. Lol. I have multiple styles, wired and wireless, and work perfectly on multiple computers. Lol.

Nice job knowing the Alt key trick on Windows!

I really like Steelseries. Pick whichever fits your budget for the features you want. I've even bought used ones and they've been great.

I changed the foam ear pads to leatherette pads for a little better sound isolation.

Sounds like there was something wrong with your audio jack. I've had stellar comments about all of my Steelseries.

I keep telling myself to donate to them, but I still haven't.

Nice. Protect yourself, Canada.

If you ever see little kids with different skin tones playing together, they are clearly not bothered by skin color, and it has no bearing on their play. The racism in America is completely learned. It is not natural. Sometimes consciously, but many times unconsciously.

Loosely similar is how men in most places are fine walking around alone at night. While women consciously try to move in groups, even during the daytime. Many men have no idea how different it is for many women.

It happened for so long, at all levels of society, that it is still affecting us today. It has shaped the cities we currently live in. It has shaped our language. It has shaped our laws.

The first girl Black girl to go to a school that was all white is only 71 years old. And that was barely the start of the end of segregation.

A bad example, because I'm only American, but anyone in the European Union could move anywhere in the European Union. Some places just have depressing weather, or are very isolated. But it would still take a great effort for the people who even want to move to actually move.

For an extra $50, your CO monitor can also run wifi in promiscuous mode!

This dude has PMS, like, 5 times a day.

And all those other idiots say we can't have a woman president because of emotions.

 

Started on one computer mouse needing a new AA battery. Then re-glued the foot pad that had fallen off and was making it rock. While vigorously testing the other foot pads, they came off, and so I ended up re-gluing them all.

Then went one to another mouse and started to clean some dust in the corners of it. Turned out the dust was enough that I had an excuse to take it apart. Then there was enough random tiny fibers/hairs that I couldn't get off that I went to use the air compressor to really get it clean. And re-glued the feet pads here, because, why not.

With as much as I take apart my computer mice, it causes the factory sticky tape to fail. So I actually cut out an access whole where the foot pad covers the hidden screws. And then I can use gel super glue to keep the foot pads down fully without curling.

 

Currently installed is a recent (about 10 years) Harbor Bay 5 blade ceiling fan with 44" blade diameter.

In a box I have a recent (about 10 years) Harbor Bay 5 blade ceiling fan with 52" blade diameter.

Yes, the large blades will run the motor harder.

Would these two fans likely use the same motor, so that I can just swap the larger blades and leave the current motor? Or is there a high chance the motors are sized specific to their blades, and I would need to fully swap the motor to use the larger blades?

The blades appear to use the same connection.
