Ebay still shows your start date on your feedback page. Mine dates back to December 1999 and I believe that makes it my oldest still active online account.

I’ve been using Dvorak since the late 90’s. When I type on a qwerty keyboard, it feels like my fingers have to fly all over the place to hit all the keys.
With that said, Dvorak has a few gremlins. The most annoying are the y/f keys where I have to shift my hands slightly to hit those keys. The copy/paste ctrl-c and ctrl-v keyboard shortcuts are also a lot less convenient but I just deal with it. It’s also annoying having to rebind keys in pretty much every keyboard-heavy game.
I’ve never really thought of Colemak as a big enough improvement over Dvorak to relearn how to type on that layout, though if you’re looking to switch from qwerty it may be worth considering. The Workman layout seems interesting.
If you mean actual sleep, as in S3 sleep, that would be the power button as I disable waking from sleep from anything else as I don’t like the PC waking up from accidental keyboard key presses or mouse movements.
If you mean when the monitor goes to sleep, it’s the shift key that I mash. Yes, that means on Windows I always have to disable that stupid shortcut to enable StickyKeys.
Besides what people have mentioned, you also have simulator type games like SimCity. Though with SimCity, I got bored of the “new” SimCity they released… in 2013. Either play something like SimCity 4000, or try Cities Skylines.
That’s the problem. A lot of those high-end, expensive appliances are built just as shitty as the low-end, basic models. The difference is just some bells and whistles and a higher price tag.
I have no problem paying extra for a higher quality, better built appliance. But the challenge is differentiating those from the low quality, built as cheaply as possible appliances that have just been marked up with a premium price tag.
At least when I buy the cheap, shitty model, I get what I paid for.
The reason we have timezones is because of the railroads. Before the railroads came in, every town would have its own time, typically set so noon is the time when the sun is highest in the sky. This really wasn’t a problem, as back then it didn’t really matter that the time was different in every little burg.
Then the railroads came in. They needed things running on a coordinated time table out of necessity, and having every town with its own time was unworkable. I’m sure the railroads would have loved running everything off of the same clock everywhere because that would be simple. But people were too used to noon being the middle of the day, so instead we got the compromise of having timezones so that the railroads can still run on a coordinated time table, but also so that noon is still approximately the middle of the day as people were used to.
So the solution is just go back to the 1800’s and convince the railroads that timezones are actually silly and that they really should run everything based upon UTC. And if people want rail service to their town, they can just deal with not having 12PM being when the sun is highest in the sky.
When I beat Subnautica, there were long periods of me just wandering around gawking at the scenery until I stumbled upon what I needed to do next. To me, that wasn’t a bad thing either. I wish there was some way to selectively wipe from my memory everything I remember about the game so I’d get to play through rediscovering everything again.
Well, that’s a misleading title. All the countries in their list have some debt, just less than most.
All countries carry some debt, because they need to show a history of reliably making payments on that debt in case they need to borrow money in the future for whatever reason. Not all countries, however, run massive deficits every year.
You don’t have to worry about the alternator going out.
I suppose the real question then is… do you go to Starbucks?
I did switch over to yt-dlp some time later as development seems to have slowed on Pytube and yt-dlp seems to be where all the activity is.
That reminds me back when some time ago, I was tired of dealing with sketchy, and often broken, websites and programs for downloading videos from Youtube. I figured these sorts of programs must be doing something along the lines of downloading the Youtube page, parsing through the massive pile of HTML and Javascript to find the stream, and then saving that to a video file. That seemed like something I could do myself with Python, so I set out to see if I could figure out how to do it.
A few minutes and a couple of web searches later, I discovered that someone else had figured that all out already and I just needed to do “pip install pytube”.
Besides there being no 1998 Aerostar, this is one of the early models. The badges on the front fenders went away after the first few model years, and the later ones have composite headlights rather than the sealed beams.
