I lived in the UK from 1997 - 2010 when the Labour Party was in power. Guess what, the world didn't end. People were pretty happy. It was good times. As I have said in previous comments, I believe that there should be a natural oscilla

Why do you throw the word socialism about as if it is exactly the same as communism? The Nordic nations are socialist democracies and they’re regarded as some of the best run and happiest places on earth, with a business friendly environmen

People have got to stop calling Poland a poor country. It’s on track to overtake the UK in terms of quality of life in the middle of the decade.

Monitors are a pain in the arse. I bought a 65 inch tv last year to use as a monitor that I'm now selling and it's difficult to shift. You can't really ship it because the risk of it being damaged is high so no-one will give

Yeah, according to google a pair of raybans weighs 40 grams and a pair of xreal air weight twice as much at 79g. I'm a massive fan of the latter but already that weight is noticeable on your face as being heavier than a standard pair o

Anything you want, but of course it's all subjective. You can have up to three monitors if you're using the Nebula app, so that's three 1080p monitors. You can't see them all simultaneously though, you have to tilt your

Very steep prices. Can buy a decent MacBook Air for the cost of the standalone version. Would have been nice to see them keep the old model around with a reduced price for people less well off.

Did it take a while to dial in home row shift?

by rcarr 3y ago
Interesting! I wondered why I’d see layouts with just one shift key on the right thumb cluster, it all makes sense now.

It’s hilarious, I’ve got a pair of nreal airs and I use them all the time, the ergonomics and comfort alone are so much better than a standard monitor.

Are you using 36 or 42 key? I’m looking to get one soon and was initially leaning to 36 but I’ve heard reports that 42 is the better way to go because the shift buttons can be frustrating as a home row mod on 36 key?
