Right? Looks like Moose isn't a fan of the accounting number pad. Mine is completely worn out (thank you, Excel!).
Assuming that's actually his keyboard, it also looks like he uses the up/down/left/right arrow keys almost exclusively.
Happened on my first attempt to get home from Colorado on Wednesday. There were several other clues from the Universe that I needed to wait things out, but I kept thinking, nah, it's just a little bitty major winter storm. I drove about 70 miles before I decided to turn around and spend another night in Colorado.
TMW you discover you've got more money in the bank earning jackshit interest than the rather large sum you owe on your credit card on which you are paying a metric tonne of interest I now have significantly less money, but i also don't have a millstone of expensive debt
That's good. Start investing when you build the reserves up a bit. Not sure how IRAs work in the UK, but they're earning about about 6 - 8% over here now. And you pay the taxes on the front end for the ROTH variety, meaning you're paying in 2021 dollars and not 2040 (or whenever) dollars when you cash out.
Tbh the best investment i could make right now would be property... I'm renting and I'm not getting any younger... i was intending to buy back in 2020 before covid buggered everything up, but it really is time to start building up my own equity rather than paying someone elses
That and the alphabet letters to write with... tbh its pretty shot, its warped in the sun so i have to prop one side up on a stack of biz cards, the accompanying mouse has a scroll wheel that doesn't work... its time to send it to silicon heaven and get another one... the only question there is whether to get another standard one or go out on a mechanical keyboard for writers
I just had to buy a new keyboard and mouse because mine were past their use-by date. Many of the letters had worn off the cheap keyboard. It was fine when only a few scattered letters were missing, but after a while it got to be so many I couldn't orient myself properly anymore. I've got another cheapie now, probably only a short matter of time before I discover what problems it's going to give me. Hopefully it doesn't harbor spiders that look suspiciously like brown recluses.
fortunately we don't have brown recluses in the UK- they're just wolf spiders and harmless to humans... he just made my jump a bit with his size... my keyboard is a fairly decent logitech... but is about ten years old and its written a couple of million words in that timeso its time for a new one
I have a big wolfie in my studio I sometimes see. Yeah, they always give you the jump impulse at first, even knowing they're not poisonous, won't bite you, and in fact they eat the bad spiders and other insects.
Harmless or not, the day I spot a wolf spider in my house of this size, is the day I move out! This image puts my spine into spasm!
TMW you're driving home from work with Dylan on the stereo because the iPod is out of battery and he's one of the two that escaped the Great CD Clear Out of a couple of weeks ago and Bob gets to "come mothers and fathers throughout the land and don't criticise what you don't understand" and you realise, when you weren't looking, you've moved to the wrong side of Bob's dualism. A further TMW you consider going to that charity shop to buy back some of your old CD's.
Tmw you rode the elevator with a ghost today and lived. Was taking some books down to the basement at work. I wheeled the cart on to the elevator, hit basement, and the doors close. Suddenly the lights flicker and the elevator door slowly opens up again. And stays open for a bit. I checked to see if anything was on the censor or if a book had fallen. Nope. Door closed and proceeded to go down to the basement
All that formless, spectral, pass through walls ghostly powers and your visitor takes the elevator? You've got one lazy ghost.
