My mom doesn't drink coffee either, and tea only when there are visitors. No other caffeinated stuff either. I guess I just never 'learned' to drink it. I don't mind :p

If you decide to try coffee, don't go to Starbucks, that tastes like hot dirty water, go to a local coffee shop and try some of the real thing

I think were all better off without coffee. The diet of most people these days mean they are burning sugar rather than fat. Once the sugar runs out you need more and have a drop in energy levels. Burn fat and it lasts longer and you don't get tired.

I say all this but I still drink coffee and eat sugar but try to keep it as low as possible. Sugar really is the worst thing ever.

My cousin works for Starbucks. She is actually a manager there. I assure you, they use real stuff.

Most of the sugar we intake is that artificial stuff.

I want one of those Wedge Keyboards. Are they any good?

Yes, its small but the keyboard is solid - does not rock or move around on the desk at all and the keys are nice and fluid. I develop software for a living (work from home) so use this keyboard a good deal and have had no problem at all. The wedge mouse is also very good but it takes some learning; both very good products. The mouse is a great for some and others hate it; so try it at a local store but the keyboard is a must buy imho.

Here's a rough panorama shot from my phone showing my current workstation. After the holidays, I want to tear the rest of the wallpaper off, repaint, and install new flooring.

In case anyone wondered:

Keyboard - QPAD MK-50 Mechanical Keyboard

Mouse - Corsair M60

Its my first mechanical keyboard and I will never look back. I would love to have one at work instead of those lame HP membranes.

    • This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE by Sayan Sen Recently we reviewed AMD's latest 1440p gaming card, the Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12GB, for $549. The card is in stock too at that price, though if you want significantly better performance and don't mind spending a bit more, the Gigabyte Gaming model of RX 9070 XT is currently on sale for just $650 (purchase link under the specs table down below). The card employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The technical specifications of the Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT GAMING OC 16G are given in the table below: Specification Value Core Clock Boost Clock: up to 3060 MHz Game Clock: up to 2520 MHz Stream Processors 4096 Memory Clock 20 Gbps Memory Size 16GB Memory Type GDDR6 Memory Bus 256-bit Card Bus Interface PCI Express 5.0 Maximum Resolution 7680 × 4320 Multi-View Support 4 displays Card Dimensions L=288 mm, W=132 mm, H=56 mm Recommended Power Supply 750W Power Connectors 3 × 8-pin Video Outputs 2 × DisplayPort 2.1a 2 × HDMI 2.1b Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC 16GB Graphics Card, GV-R9070XTGAMING OC: $649.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $740) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

      They used AI based TOOLS to convert the JavaScript engine (the main rendering engine is still C++) and it was not fully automated but was human reviewed. Other subsystems will be looked into to also be converted to Rust in the future. I have no problem with any of that.

      Why not just bring back Outlook Express at this point? It did everything I needed as a home email app.

      No we just do it manually, our contact methods are calls, chats and e-mails. Whoever is doing the e-mail task for the day, deals with the e-mail, logs the appropriate ticket, adds the reference to the source e-mail and then files it in the appropriate folder. At least that's how it's supposed to work
