  • Typewriters were staggered so that the mechanical arms wouldn’t collide. Your finger bends out and back linearly. Personally I prefer split keyboards or ones like the Atreus that have each half angled out, this avoids having to bend your wrists. But either way keyboards with linear columns are more ergonomic than staggered columns.

    I disagree. You probably shouldn’t rewire your house yourself but changing out an outlet/switch or installing a water softener are extremely easy tasks that would not be worth hiring a contractor for. There’s quite a lot you can safely do on your own as long as you educate yourself and triple check everything.





  • I got interested in running after hopping off the couch and doing a 5k earlier this year. I felt absolutely terrible for a few days afterwards to no one’s surprise.

    I don’t really have a history with running but so far it’s stuck. I like how I can just get out and and zone out while enjoying the scenery. From there I went down the rabbit hole of “how far does this sport go” and kept seeing longer and longer distances. I’m definitely the kind of person that likes taking things to their logical extreme so maybe my why is just “how far can I go?”
