Yeah, sure. I’ll do it… later.

I basically spend 40hrs a week hosting presentations where I’m constantly drawing and clicking and highlighting text. So maybe.

On top of that I spend another 5-10 hrs a week doing non-meeting stuff.

I think there are a lot of things that are behind subscriptions that you do not realize. One example is computer mice.

They use switches that are only rated for a certain number of clicks before they stop working.

I was going through mice about once every 18 months. I decided to learn to soldier and just replace the switches once they broke.

I found that the switched in the $100 Logitech mouse I bought were only rated for 5 or 10 million clicks. The switch they use can be purchased in a 70 million version. Why didn’t they use that from the start?

I ended up repairing 3 mice and have a lot of extra switches sitting in a bit at home.

Sure, but not when they are putting other people’s lives at risk. Luckily, they didn’t kill anyone.

Well, it appears that they were doing drugs and letting the 14 year old drive.

That’s still to be confirmed, but the articles states there were empty NO2 cans in the car and due to positions it looks like the 14 year old was driving.

But if you are going to be driving around on drugs, I don’t have sympathy for you.
