I'm a colemak typer and I switched my phone to it to help when I was learning and it actually works really well since it emphasizes alternating hands it makes thumb typing pretty fluid. It does also tend to have some finger rolls which really just feels like tapping as you move your fingers back to the middle of the keyboard.

Not to say there aren't better, I was just surprised how well it worked

My bet is on "wanted pets while the human had a highlighter in hand"

A lot of office buildings actually use metal studs, so these screws are used to attach them together. They're a common enough thing that I wouldn't be overly suspicious of anything.

Might be something about the self tapping head that makes them more likely to bite in a tire?? Just speculating there...

Looks to me like a self tapping screw which had its head broken off / worn down. You probably just picked them both up from the same spot, double check your driveway / lot

Friday Games! My team gets together and plays a boardgame. Lately it's been Gartic Phone, but we also like Code Names, Wavelength, Jackbox... Fun way to spend an hour on a friday

Or just buy the same mouse and replace the casing with the spray painted one

I just want to say while not overly friendly, my wife and I were in Belgium last year and as long as you don't insist on trying to speak English at someone who said "no English" it was a perfectly nice place to be... Even when we were off the beaten path

This is exactly the thing I can seem to get anyone to agree with me on ... Imported goods will never become significantly more expensive than American for the reason you just said...

There's a lot of money in figuring out the right margin below the imported product such that they'll lose some sales but ultimately profit more because of the increased profit margins. Not that you were seriously saying it would be a dollar cheaper but most I talk with tend to think that difference is much bigger than I expect which tends toward single digit percentage differences
