@Erik Damn, that's something I really would love to see!

@trinsec
Welcome! Yes, this server is rather chilled, is intended for STEM kind of people, that doesn't mean that STEM should be the only topic. Look at it like the water bottle outside the labs, or the bar close to campus. You'll be alright, message me or other mods anytime if you have some doubts!

@ravenclaw

@trinsec I apologise, did a direct translation from Italian, in Engish is "Short stroke". As for the island, buttons should be well separated, not touching.

I've seen that Dell KB522p, doesn't seem bad, just buttons are very close together and I can't manage to type fast or accurately over there... years of muscle memory, damn it!

I bought three keyboards from amazon and had to return them all. Seems like having a perfect keyboard is really, really hard. What do you use?

I'm looking for something with short run, a wrist rester and island buttons, silent, decent feedback. It's amazing how picky can i be over this kind of stuff.

Give me your thoughts about keyboards!

@freemo let me know when you get to that bridge, I already got my shoes on for both

@Downes You mean,m at regular intervals between computer work?

@gokulnc knowing that there is food 1000 kms from here, guarded by mighty warriors, doesn't help when you are starving. I get your point and appreciate it as I told you, but I think is presented in a misguiding way, that's all

@gokulnc You are talking about women in a "romantic" way, I mean for relationship, of any kind. That is, the mating market, it doesn't help to know there are many 2 years old when you are getting over a breakup!

So I'd say that it doesn't really matter the total number of females, you may not care about 3 years old and 90 years old.
So you start by cutting out <18 and 60> (eyeballing it)
Then you should cut out all the already "taken" ones, as they are not in the available pool.
Remove the gay
Remove the ones who are too far away and you can't really contact
Depending on how much you travel, you should realistically only count the amount you can meet. If you are mostly sedentary, your whole mating market is actually a few hundred kms radius

than, select the ones you may not be interested in, as those are like, useless to the calculation.
From this, you have to subtract the ones that may find you interesting enough to engage.

I think I have more seconds until I'll go to sleep tonight than that number of females =)

@sexybiggetje@mastodon.social Ciao Martijn, benvenuto di nuovo!

@gokulnc @freemo Thanks, I could also just check the refresh rate spec. But I'll try your method with a good camera I have and see how it goes =)

@gokulnc I don't think the numbers really add up here, but I like the spirit =)

@freemo That's very interesting, thanks for sharing. If I manage to borrow a good monitor for a while I'll let you know how that worked out

@freemo I wouldn't know, I'm not usually exposed to that light for long time. What's your theory?
It's so confusing to me that I'm not even sure if it's psychological and a problem of interacting with a pc, or a light-display problem. That's how clueless I am!

I can run every kind of experiment on myself if you have any in mind

@freemo I use redshift to tune down the blue, and my glasses have blue color protection or something... it may be the screen, I'll try to pay closer attention to it. It's a good question, I'd say that a movie impacts me, but less so. I can get back on my feet quicker. I don't often watch movies, one reason I prefer podcasts is this effect computer has on me

@tsturm where is this place?

@freemo Not sure, I've always had this problem but it comes and goes... It helps if I use glasses and take frequent breaks, but still even when I take a break I feel like I only want to nap. It gets stronger when I multitask, but even with a single task, glasses and all I still feel so very weak

I'm not sure how to deal with this. Even just 1 hour on the computer seem to drain all my energy out, I can't even wash the dishes afterwards.
Today a did a full day without and I felt alive after days... does someone else have the same problem? How do you deal with it, especially if you have to work with the computer?
