08/31 - Thermodynamic Thursday!

I don't even know man. I don'[t know.

 

Look guys, a picture of @ChrisTurk eating his breakfast this morning!

 

My pans are usually great. Just cook and wipe or rinse out. This morning was a bit of a fluke.

 

Anybody have any recommendations for a good, preferably inexpensive, mouse for turking? For the longest time I've been using a cheap Chinese mouse that I bought secondhand and I actually really liked it. It was bulky yet comfortable, quiet, and the scroll wheel was smooth without it spinning like a hamster wheel. However, lately it's been borking out and double clicking when I want to single click and that's a huge no-no. I have a couple of spare ones, but they're butt. I wouldn't mind trying something with a trackball, and/or additional buttons. kthx

 

I was mostly just teasing ya. Everyone borks up in the kitchen sometimes. Did I burn something when Matt's mom was here, you bet I did. Do I still feel excessive anxiety about it- oh yeah.

Apparently, I haven't drank my tea this morning, it's just been sitting next to me on my desk.

Need to calibrate my humor with some caffeine.

 

I use this one and I really like it. it's $27.99 on amazon.
Logitech Wireless Trackball M570

 

I just looked and I have the Logitech M317- I bought it late night at Target when my last mouse crapped out. I meant to get a nicer one but I actually like this one most of the time. Cost like 20 bucks or so. It's the basic Grinch of computer mice, but it gets the job done.

Logitech makes pretty good wireless mousies.

I've never really looked at mice apparently 'cause this thing has me fascinated lol.. where does your thumb sit if you don't want to use the blue ball thing?

 

If you have blue balls, I think we all know where your thumb is bb.

CAFFEINE! WOOO!

 

I guess right next to it, but that wouldn't actually work because the track ball is what moves the cursor. The mouse stays stationary. It's helped me work quicker and saves time with less movement lol

 

Oh I didn't even notice it didn't have a laser on the bottom at all.. well damn.. gonna stare at this a while and try to wrap my head around not moving my mouse and still seeing the cursor move.. I'm not sure my brain is ready for this on a Thursday lol.

TIL, lol.

 

Thanks! I actually came across that one while searching, and read nothing but good things about it. Gonna put an order in later today!

 

I've never used one of those fancy modern contraptions. I've always thought that you could do both. Mov it normally or use the ball.

Right this is what I assumed lol.. like you'd just "swap modes" or something. I feel like I'm missing out on something awesome if its the best selling mouse on Amazon though

 

Yay! It'll make for happy turking lol
