@matigo No, it's my everyday device. I have a ton of stuff really: Magic Trackpad, Logitech G903, Logitech G50\d (can't remember the exact model), LST trackball, Logitech Trackman Marble from c. 2004, drawing tablet….
I've always loved trackballs. Used to be pretty good sniping in Team Fortress 2 with this Expert.
Old faithful: I've had many mice over the years including 3 Logitech gaming mice — nothing of inferior quality — but the Kensington Expert trackball I bought back in 2009(?) is still my favourite to use. I've already replaced the ball bearings, and the scroll wheel needs some TLC, but it's still going strong. And remains the only device I've used to date that has never caused me wrist pain after extended periods.
(I have a CST trackball as well, but those buttons are horrifically mushy with uncertain clicks; shame as the trackball action is much smoother on that.)
@variablepulserate Being alone always has its benefits, like doing things only on my own schedule and making food as spicy as I want.
@peemee I'm going to find out how well I can make a roast beef dinner come together in about an hour.
Gin is one of the most interesting categories. Lots of disastrous stuff out there but plenty of really nice ones too. My litmus test is whether I can enjoy it neat (at room temperature) or not — for me, if something has to be chilled/diluted to be remotely enjoyable, it's not high quality.
@matigo a bit of both, notably that I had to wait for my shipment of stuff to arrive (and then do all the insurance paperwork for the damaged items) and that's a tight deadline. I'll be away for 3 months in spring though and seeing family and friends then, so all good — just a few weeks left.
Cheaper flight tickets then anyway.
@variablepulserate Some bizarre bug meant Firefox stopped responding to all keyboard input, so I tried to restart it.
I have it set to clear all history when I quit, but that's never stopped it restoring my tabs before. Except this time it did — and I managed to replicate it 3 times. Eventually told it to stop forgetting my browsing history (but still clear cookies etc.) and now the restore happens properly.
It seems Firefox decided that crashing and taking all my open tabs and history with it would be a good way to start the evening.
@peemee The way app design works nowadays, even if you did get it free today and never updated it, you might well find in a few weeks that it'd phoned home and locked you out of certain things until you bought a subscription.
