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.

I don't have everything like that sitting on the desk of course, but these are what i use.

one of these things is not like the others.....

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.

    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
