I’ve used the wired equivalent of the Logitech g502 for a while, and my partner has the wireless one, I liked them as well. I’ve used Logitech, steel series, Razer and Saitek mice over the years, started with a Logitech G7, and there’s a reason I went back to Logitech mice after using some of the others. Imo you can’t really go wrong with one of their midrange models with a decent sensor, won’t break the bank and found them fairly reliable.

As a bit of an alternate, I know you prefer wireless, but I’ve been using a Ploopy Mouse for few months now. I don’t do online fps stuff anymore, but was great for FPSs (some boomer shooters mainly) and RPGs it’s solid, been playing a lot of Diablo 2 recently and it’s great. It runs qmk so it’s customisable however you want, sensor seems decent and the entire thing is open source, designed for user serviceability.

As others said, replace it (service it if you can, doesn’t hurt to have redundancy anyhow). Don’t mess around with safety equipment, you want to be sure it works when you need it (and hope you never do), applies to everything from ppe to devices.

It’s apparently the only thing named for that dude pronounced that way too, Dalhousie University as an example. Wiki page has an etymology section that has some suggestions as to why, it’d sound weird to me though pronounced the other way.

Afaik, almost every browser uses “Mozilla/5.0” as part of the user agent, Mozilla mentions it as well in developer docs about User agents, it’s a historical compatibility thing apparently.

So, I like loose leaf when I can, but will totally use bags, I grew up with Tetley so that’ll always be the tea I’ll use for some basic iced tea. Yorkshire gold reminds me a lot of Red Rose, which is the other really common bag tea (and I swear is what my grandmother uses for her water intake). Recently, have some bags from Genuine Tea, it’s a Canadian brand and some of their blends are pretty good, there’s an elderberry hibiscus one that’s great to just toss a few bags in a pitcher and cold steep.

Going to mention more types of teas rather than brands that I’ve liked in the past, there’s a lot of variety and tea (like quality coffee) can totally have a wide range of flavours depending on region, age, processing etc. By no means an expert, I just like trying things.

I like Lapsang Souchong sometimes, can have a strong smoky flavour, don’t have any more but we had some first flush Darjeeling tea that was fantastic. I had some nice white tea as well, but you need to be careful, turns super unpleasant if you over steep it or have the water too hot, should be floral and lightly fruity, not pine needles.

Otherwise, I personally like oolong and pu’erh tea the best. I tend to brew tea quick with an excess of leaves, but you’ll use the same tea leaves multiple times. Pu’erh can have some earthy subtle flavours, and apparently totally changes as it ages (it’s fermented if I recall).

From the 360 Era — Too Human
The control scheme is bizarre at first (right stick is melee) but it works once you’re used to it. It’s Sci-Fi Norse mythology, I recall it having a pretty solid art style. I picked it up used from either Blockbuster or EB because I wanted to see just how bad it was, ended up enjoying it far more than I expected, I’ll give it a “Yeah, it’s ok”, disc images are readily available if you want to emulate it, can find a physical copy cheap online too if that’s your thing.

This is the game that ended up taking down its studio (Silicon Knights, they developed Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem and Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, they tried to sue Epic, who countersued and won, probably added to my initial interested tbh.

My partner and I were concerned about that originally but it’s really a non issue for either of us, it’s still way better than not having one.

That’s the predominant one in Canada too, at least in my experience.

Goes with a Chipper Shredder (Woodchipper), sure there’s probably other things named the same way.

I use moonlight a lot on my deck for more intense stuff, gets way better battery life that way too. Ended up using the deck a lot more than I expected I would.

You can muffle the beeper pretty effectively with some tape, the old air fryer we had terrified one of the dogs because of the incessant beeping. My coffee scale by default beeps whenever you touch it, thankfully that’s 100% mutable.

I also hate this.

Straight arch works great with nvidia cards, gaming was my last hitch too, only thing I really miss is HDR in games, but it’s a tradeoff I’m willing to have (had bad times with gamescope and nvidia, I’m content to leave it alone for now, things change rapidly anyhow)

I’ve had fruit flies before that must have come in on some produce, have to be on it to clear them, leave out any fruit/veg scraps and they come out (out being tossed in the trash/green bin too, anything open air). Drop of dish soap, water and vinegar in a high walled glass or jar is the way to do it, I used balsamic but malt or wine vinegar works too, just leave that out and it’ll do its job.

My current place we jokingly call the spider house, have a bunch of house spiders around (cats love them) and a few orb-weavers, garden and wolf spiders outside, pretty much anything native isn’t a threat to humans or cats, they do a great job of taking out any pests, rarely see flies inside these days. Spiders and centipedes I’ll leave alone, they’re beneficial to have around.

Haven’t looked into it but do shops offer lube analysis services? Yeah you could send out your own sample to a lab, having it as a shop service would be way more accessible to people.

Though, in my experience, getting people to commit can be a pain, lots of “yeah I know we have a long p-f interval and it’s super noticeable before it functionally fails, but it’s not that much effort so I’m doing needless maintenance anyhow just in case”, which end of the day you do you.

I’ve always known your world is complex, working closely with accountants and actuaries the last 4 years doing data applications further confirmed that, there’s some legitimately complex math that shows up, and it’s a lot of work to model that correctly.

“It’s just a …” Is a redflag to me, project’s going to be a gongshow.

I find that mentality of not trying to understand the problem and its context totally counter to the engineering method.

Personally, recommend forgejo, gitlab has a lot of features I didn’t need and I found the upgrade process if you didn’t keep on top of it annoying. Forgejo actions are pretty similar to github ones and setting up runners is super straightforward.

The ones I have have some speakers aimed at your ear to fill in that part, actually works really well. I can’t stand the ear buds you physically insert into your ears, the rubber tipped ones, these have been good to replace my on ears for activity. Plus you can hear what’s around you which is why my partner gifted me them.

Was my first experience with source control, a bunch of Gary’s Mod mods were distributed that way, think I recall wiretool doing that, spacebuild was for sure, predated my work use by like 5ish years.

I didn’t hate it but definitely prefer git, but I’ll take literally anything over not having it,

He won’t even get a security clearance, how can anyone trust him to run a government?

For me, something to either research or look into later. Not a work task but either supports them it just pure interest.

Yeah it’s inspired somewhat by bullet journalling, I just found a version of it I could stick to.

What is the flavour of them? You don’t see them on shelves here, my partner grabbed rootbeer a while back and it was foul, like overwhelming chicory flavour I think?

Cove does this type of stuff that actually tastes decent if you want an occasional soft drink, they do kombucha too, there’s stevia sweetened brands too out there.
