Exec was committing fraud and self-enrichment thru work. Snitched to the board with evidence, they did nothing. One even told me he wasn't concerned. Noped outta there and snitched to the government instead.

The semi-vertical ones help compared to a standard (horizontal) mouse, but as someone who had a lot of pain, they were not enough for me. For example, I had the Microsoft sculpt mouse, which came with their split keyboard (the main reason I bought it) and still experienced pain. Then I went more vertical to the Logitech Lift which was better, but did not eliminate the pain entirely. Finally, I now use the Evoluent Vertical mouse and now no longer experience pain in my mousing hand.

The only drawback is when I used a standard mouse (totally horizontal), I used to switch hands and use it ambidextrously. Now I obviously can't switch hands with these mice.

I think for someone who doesn't experience persistent pain, a semi-vertical mouse may be well enough.

Are you familiar with the reputation of sabreurs being the crazy people among fencers? 😂

I know someone who flies down about once a month to help his elderly older brother and sister. (He is himself a retired senior, they are even older.) I presume he counts as 12 visitors a year, but of course, he's just one person with family obligations.

The problem is they called them light sabres, so, naturally, they must be wielded maniacally.

Since we're guessing, I'd guess lymph is part of it. It's part of our immune systems, but, unlike blood which has its own pumping mechanism (the heart), lymph gets moved along passively.

Telling a conservative they're incorrect is oppression to them.

I make the argument that Star Wars is not science fiction, rather a fantasy that takes place in space. Science and technology do not drive the stories, nor are they the solutions to the problems that arise. They are incidental and could just as well be replaced with actual magic. They tried to go the other way by explaining the force with midiclorians... Which was accepted by basically no one.

Modern trucks are just emotional support vehicles for the egoistically challenged.

I can't wait to find out how they will blame the woke left for this very thing they were warned about.

I wonder if A'Sha will have T'Lyn moment and realize she's been Starfleet all along.

These situations objectively suck. One thing that's stuck with me is asking: will this still matter in 10 years?

It doesn't mean it doesn't suck, it doesn't mean you don't have to deal with it, but it does mean "this, too, shall pass", and you'll still be okay on the other side of it.
