Blah. My internet is down. No cricket streaming :(
If Iβm standing there doing trade work letβs say, why do people think itβs ok to just stand there and watch me?
If youβre sitting there at your desk clacking away on your excel spreadsheet or whatever, and I saunter up behind you and just stare at you doing work, that would be considered kinda creepy.
Because maybe they find what you are doing interesting. Someone clicking away on a keyboard is boring.

Are people going through keyboards/mice like some sort of consumables?
I'm looking at reviews for a mouse, and something supposedly good about it is that it lasted some person four whole years. I've been using the mouse on my work PC for 15 years, it was the first Bluetooth mouse I purchased. I've been using this keyboard for 10 years, and the only reason I bought it was that I was no longer typing on my laptop keyboard. Side note: I would love to buy another one just like this one for home, but it doesn't exist any more.
10 years with no signs of slowing in the next decade sounds right to me. 15 years for the mouse and the only reason I'm considering replacing it is I'd like one that can switch between multiple devices and maybe do away with AA batteries. Do people really go through peripherals quickly?
My Logitech mx518 was one of the best mouse that I had for work and home.
It wasnβt until a dumb cleaner used cleaning agents on it during covid that they ruined the texture and finish on the mouse. Iβm still mad about it but they last forever and have all the convenient buttons like thumb buttons and scrolling wheel.
I still have one in itβs packaging because I thought they were so good.

I'm listening the "The Nightland" by WH Hodgeson. Don't know if I can stand the bondage and very sexual double entendres much longer. π«€ I thought this was hard core science fiction gothic fiction. π«₯π€―πΉ
They are quite long slightly weird involved chapters that seem to be perfectly paced and timed to rub one out ...lol
" and she did rub me very skillful and gentle for a great hour until I was all refreshed and in verity she was a lovely wise maid. And surely when I was come again ..etc etc"
How very Shakespearean country matters. Iβm all in for some good smut, but stuff written circuitously to avoid the censors doesnβt do it at all. No horny hobbits.
Odd that you would speak of hobbits , the first half of the book be very much like the journey to erebor, very very

he calls it "ointment"

I'm not a prude, I like smut as much as the next person, it's just hilarious that no one mentions that this is a sex book in the style of dante
Wow okay, that language turns me off π pretentious and flowery, contrasted with the sexually explicit content? π€’
other than the weird daddy mommy issues, the he-man stuff, the helpless delicate female stuff , the bondage stuff and the weird language, and these are only a few chapters so far out of many chapters
other than that it's a great story well told
( written in 1913 it predates Howard /Conan the Barbarian by 20 years )
"But I was greatly stiff on my waking ... " ...lol
what it makes much funnier for me is that this guy has the same voice and accent as Peter Cook.
Written as if it was the 17th century. I had a look at it, and it sounds interesting, but the wiki plot summary left all the sexy out π did Hodgson edge the whole way writing this? ππ
the first two chapters were cutesy, then 9 chapters of good science fiction, now two chapters of edging
I recommend it as an interesting and new experience
there is another 7 hours of this
I am starting to question my interpretation of the science fiction chapters
