Where is the best place to put a NAS
I have 4HP and my favorite spell is Tenser's Floating Disk.
Dammit there's a fingernail shard under my Q key and I can't get it out.

Outside of dweeb circles, loud mechanical keyboards are not socially acceptable. Quiet ones that don't annoy other people (such as a chiclet macbook keyboard) are better. Ghosting doesn't matter. Tactile feedback doesn't matter. Being compact and quiet are what really matter.
I'm sure this opinion won't be popular in "nerd" communities, but it's what people in the real world agree with.
Apple has always had the best trackpads and the worst mice. Generally their keyboards have been good, although the original iMac keyboard and consumer-grade beige keyboards were pretty trash. The //c's keyboard, the Extended I and II, the iBook/PBG4 keyboards, and the Magic Keyboard are my personal favorites.
>>313
Yeah, like I said, the worst mice. I will gladly take a $10 Microsoft Basic from 15 years ago over that garbage; actually until a couple weeks ago that's exactly what I used.
>>311
Dare you diss the mech? Good thing I work remotely. Enjoy your carpal-tunnel fgt.

Touchscreens are probably the worst tech meme of the past 10 years, I'm glad Microsoft has wised up and stopped putting their monopoly force behind the trend. Stupid sweaty balls Steve Balmer, stupid, stupid, stupid.
I have a mechanical keyboard and I write faster and with more precision on the chiclet keyboard on my work's MacbookPro.
Go fucking figure.
My ideal keyboard is silent with short travel, easy action, and clear tactile feedback. Typing should be as effortless as thinking. I own a Model M and while the quality is undeniable it's basically the opposite of how I like to interact with a computer. I mostly bring it out to either show off or annoy people.
I remember hearing about some experimental new tech that dynamically shapes the screen to make buttons and keyboards more tactile. In another 20 years once the patent is expired we might see it actually being used and touchscreens would have more potential at true keyboard equivalence, maybe?
Even the best keyboard is still significantly slower than talking. And even talking is slower than reading.
Direct brain-to-brain communication when?
>>320
Good luck finding someone who can consistently speak at 120 words per minute.
Well, I don't like when a flatscreen is used in a car stereo or climate control, rather than the usual knobs and switches.
>>321
I'm not that guy, but that's really not that hard. In conversation or lecture, people usually speak slower to convey nuances, but when dictating to convey solely textual content, 120 WPM is quite easy; I just timed myself dictating and 200 WPM is a pretty conservative estimate.
Even when speaking slowly and clearly, it's not hard. I just looked up an audiobook of Moby Dick (read by a volunteer, not a professional, and pauses for breath are left in). Chapters 4 through 7 (inclusive) run about 4100 words and are read in 27 minutes. That's ~150 WPM.
People who can type 120 WPM are in the top 1-2% of typists (at least, according to 30 seconds with a search engine). Considering the length of time that most people input text to computers, someone who couldn't speak that at 120 WPM would probably have a medical condition.
That said, there's no way in hell I'd take a voice-only system over a keyboard-only system. The systems that have grown up around the assumption that a user can input homophones correctly, press multiple keys at once, use modifier keys, etc. are too useful to give up.
>>320
If you mean "a cable coming out of your head that allows you to give commands like a keyboard and/or mouse", I've wanted that for the past twenty years at least. Unfortunately, today we'd probably get "a implanted microprocessor running a proprietary OS, bootstrapping a technically open-source OS, using a byzantine collection of libraries allowing you to write javascript functions to interact with APIs from up to four(!) major corporations, and it needs an internet connection to a central server to work".
>>323
I'm now concerned about slowing my stupid bran and myself down by a lot of typing with little spoken communication in the past few years. I'm typing at 80-90 WPM, but that's lower when I stop to think the thoughts.
>>323
Consistently means speaking and evaluating whether you were properly understood. No dictation program exists that can handle that sort of natural speech at a pace faster than typing. A lot of what you type to work with a computer is not easily expressed in speech anyway. Programming via dictation sounds tortuous.
Could you live if you had all your bones surgically removed? Like you’d heal and just be a bag of skin and muscle and organs. You might need a breathing machine and some help eating but maybe you could live, even as an amorphous blob? I mean, there’d be no point, but it’s just a thought.

You know you’re truly an adult when you’re tired all the time and constantly worry about money and discuss health problems with your coworkers. You get good at pretending to laugh at people’s jokes in an attempt to sound more personable. You get better with fake smiles and strong handshakes. You feel good when you have a new sponge in the sink. Your ideal weekend is one where you catch up on sleep. You stop caring about your old hobbies. You care less about being cool or wearing nice clothes, just as long as they’re clean. You give up on your hopes and dreams and come up with boring goals like paying off debt or increasing your credit score or surviving through the week.
>>328
I have tons of health problems and still like my hobbies and wearing nice clothes. I don't have many coworkers though, thankfully.
How was the MRI?
>>330
No tumor so I have no idea what is wrong with me. Gonna make another appointment with a different doctor to see what else the problem could be.
>>331 What kind of problems are you having? How old are you? Last year I was seriously convinced I had a brain tumor or something and wanted to go to the hospital, I was having awful headaches on the left side only, jaw and facial swelling, neck and shoulder pain, that kind of thing. Turns out to be an impacted wisdom tooth.
>>326 What if they removed your skin and muscles too and you were just a blob of organs and nerves and a spinal cord floating in a tank of saline?

How do animated skeletons work in fantasy? Sure, it's magic but someone has to do the decision-making for them if they do more than just reflexively swing stuff on proximity alert. And if there is somebody thinking for them, all you have to do is scream really loud to startle them and make them lose the train of thought.

Maybe we’re all just brains in vats. Or maybe you’re the only person who actually exists. Everyone else is just a figment of your imagination. Maybe we’re living in a simulation with a simulation within... Infinite regression.

What upset you? Are you the same person who posted the dream about your ex?
I couldn't sleep today.
New goreshit album on bandcamp!!!! Super high energy UK rave-ish breakcore. I prefer his darker ambient stuff but this is nice too.
>>337 Maybe skeletons are the embedded devices of fantasy, and wizards are the programmers. Magically imbue your skeleton with a short set of simple instructions and just leave it running until it needs repaired or replaced.
>>346
Embedded devices? What year is it? I think you mean IoT device. Like embedded devices but they can be remotely hacked. And the person who programmed the skeleton uses it to data mine the user. And some features are withheld unless you pay for the premium subscription version. The future is now, old man.

Why tweet a million times per day? Why subtweet everyone?
Lots of weirdness here.
Also I guess you can’t post links to twitter because the spam filter here thinks it’s spam?
>>351 I cheerfully copied the link into my address bar hoping to see some weirdness, but it's just some chump spouting boring opinions

I knew someone who used to have crazy hair spikes. You know how he did it?
Glue. Not hair gel.
You think they do that every single day? Oh no, not even close. Not the best for hygiene. Stinky spiky hair.

I thought this was common knowledge, since I was square af and I still knew it in like middle school, but then I gave it a second thought and went "wait, almost nobody was still doing that by the time I was in middle school." Maybe that's how out of it I was/am.

Some people in another thread were talking about the ethnicity of people on this site.
I'm mixed race. I don't like being mixed race.
I wrote a 1,200 word essay about this topic but then decided to delete it.
>>372
Are you the castizo girl the guy is dating in the Romance thread?
>>375
That meme really triggers me.
On the one hand, liberals lecture me about my white privilege. On the other hand, you have alt right people who think I'm too Mexican to be white and have the stupid "le 56% face" and "la creatura" memes. But it's not just memes -- these jokes are a reflection of what people really think. I'm too white for non-whites and too Mexican for whites. Everybody gets upset.
I feel like I can't fit in anywhere.
>>376
Where are you trying to fit in? You would certainly be welcome in a catholic church.
>>377
I'm not catholic. And one problem with people who accept mixed people (at least in super liberal SJW groups, who I encoutner) is that they like mixed race people for being less than 100% white, because ultra-leftists seem to dislike white people.
Another thing I dislike about it is when people fetishize or exoticize it. "Oh, that's cool" or whatever. No, it's not.
>>378
Neither parent is entirely white, but my mom is less white than my dad.
People who aren't mixed tend to forget that mixed race people can have kids too. Thus, the parents of mixed race people can also be mixed race as opposed to just one race or the other.
>>376
Stop browsing 4chan if it makes you feel bad about the way you were born. Also socialize with people outside of online. Online SJW circles are absolutely unbearable pearl-clutchers running purity tests on just about anyone but on the real world, they are super cool people.
>I'm not catholic
>super liberal SJW groups, who I encounter
You can't be a wasp stop trying to hang in their social circles. Mother church is waiting for you to return!
>>380
I don't browse 4chan. This shit leaks into other places too. But even when I did used to browse 4chan, I'd just browse /g/ or /prog/ and people would mostly talk about technology. There's more online race-related shit on Facebook and Twitter and Reddit (at least with who I've added/followed on social media, based on knowing people or being in certain circles).
SJWs aren't online-only. I'm in college in an extremely liberal area. If you think they only exist online, you have no idea.
That's the thing -- these are issues in real life, not just online.
People really do give lectures about white privilege. Yes, in person. They might not be screaming like the internet might want you to think, but yes, people in university (and in the city I'm from) do talk about this a lot. I've also heard white people say racist things about Mexicans -- in person, not online.
Many of the people in my family are obsessed with race. As you might imagine, they're on the SJW end. Believe it or not, but people exist outside of the internet!
I hate when people say "it's just online" or something. Maybe for YOU. Not for me.
I think white people make an effort to virtue signal around me more because of the fact that I'm mixed. As if they have something to prove around me.
>>383
WASP? White Anglo-Saxon Protestant. The same people you see in socjus would be the children of episcopalians and reform synagogues a generation ago.
>>385
So you want social proof, to be accepted, and to belong to something, hate the hyperindividualism and finger-wagging of your university but won't give the church a chance? If you've got a latin service in your area I strongly recommend giving it a shot.
>>382
I'm not doubting your experience, I'm just saying that the middle ground you are looking for definitely exists, but you'll have more trouble finding it online than in real life.
And by lectures, do you mean actual lectures? Like in a hall with an audience? I don't think anyone is forcing you to assist to a conference about intersectionality or whatever topic du jour is being hotly debated on this brave, new, racially sensitive marketplace of ideas taking place at your college. If you are being forced to assist, let me know, I'm curious.
As an aside, I really like how neutral this place feels, precisely because there are people that can't stand these debates, and I think that's ok.
As an additional addendum, being on college fucking sucks. I was a mess emotionally in college. At least that's over for me.
>>387
Lecture can mean different things. If someone rambles on about something, you could say "don't lecture me." But yes, there are literally events you can go to on campus where someone has a powerpoint and they talk about privilege and diversity and things like that. They don't happen every single day, but they do exist. And some professors talk about race too. Again, not every single professor, and not every single day, but they do bring up the topic of race, and it's usually in an anti-white way.
It seems like you're trying to invalidate my experiences because they don't line up with your own, as if the world is some egalitarian fantasy land where no problems arise. Not everyone has the same life experiences, and problems like this really do exist.
There are a lot of complications and problems associated with being mixed race and I wish I was just one or the other. And yes, I am well aware that "Mexican" is not a race -- Mexicans are varying admixtures of native american, white, and black. Yes, I know. Then again, I have never been to Europe or Mexico.
It seems weird that people talk a lot about race these days, but mixed race issues aren't talked about as much. People talk about individual groups. There's the alt right for whites. There's Black Lives Matter for black people. Not much activism or attention for mixed race stuff, aside from recent racist memes like "el goblino" or whatever like the other person posted.
But whatever. I shouldn't have even mentioned it.
Also, fun fact: there are many Chicano people who are in the US, not because they moved, but because the border moved. What used to be Mexico is now Texas (at least part of it).
There are many different identifying terms -- Latino, Hispanic, Mexican, etc. You could make a very big Venn diagram with them. But people in my family tend to say Chicano/Chicana.
Not every mixed person speaks Spanish. Not every mixed person has an accent. Not every mixed person participates in Mexican traditions/ceremonies/holidays/etc. It was a bigger part of my youth, but I've kind of "shed" it now and I'm more globalized/generic American so some people might say I'm whitewashed or something. But what, am I supposed to be a walking stereotype/ambassador/cultural sampler platter in order to have the heritage that I have?

What about the rest of you? Are you English? Italian? German? French? Norwegian? Something else? Some combination?
In another thread, someone implied that most people here are white. But there are many different types of white, each with their own language and culture. But then again, people in Poland probably wouldn’t consider a “Polish American” person to be Polish (if they’re second generation or later).
People shy away from these types of conversations but I think they can be interesting.
