You have a fucking diamond right there..
Those MX518's lasted me like 5-7 years till they would start double/ triple clicking.
Then Logitech came out with newer shittier mice that would start that very thing just after warranty expires so every middle click would open 3 tabs.. every click would shoot 3 bullets instead of one.
Lately I've been using a Steel Series.. reminds me of the original logitech that would last at least half a decade.
The wife uses Enermax trackballs.. she also likes them over the newer Logitech.
You could always get a small 1-5L crossbody bag to make it easier to carry when you want to go somewhere you might use it. And those bags have other benefits like getting crap out of pockets or being able to hold extra stuff as you're out and about without being backpack sized.A Panasonic Lumix FZ35.

A neighbor was selling her and offered to part with it for $20. Has a case, battery, small tripod, she even threw in a Samsung Evo 34GB card.
It does has a good optical zoom feature which my Pixel 6 lacks. However, it is not small enough to let me put it into my pocket like my phone.
I been debating to bring it or not as its kind of bulky to carry around... Decision, decision.
There seems to be an endless variety of apples. I generally these days buy the cheapest organic ones at Costco which lately has been Gala at around $1.50/lb. They are OK. I'd prefer Honeycrisp but lately they've been almost 2x the cost. I keep any apple not organic at arm's length.RedDelicious are fucking awful. Terrible flavor, terrible texture, and a bitter skin that's thick like leather. The only good use of those trees is firewood. If I owned a grocery, they wouldn't be sold there.
So that's basically a big battery? Not much good if AC disappears for a couple weeks (EQ country here). I'm also very frugal with watts, it's my fridge I don't want to warm up that's the biggest concern.View attachment 121875
Solar panel's still on the porch cause it's wet. Aside from hot water, I think I could run my whole house off of this. Get an extra as a spare when the sun's AWOL. If we get to Mad Max stage, I could build a wood fired boiler for hot water. All I really need is power to the fridge. All my other power use is fairly trivial. Washing machine is a big user, but I could save laundry when there's lots of sun, or hand wash.
Interesting to contemplate.
Yea, a big battery with several power output options. I can live without ac. I go without longer than anyone else around here due to my tree cover. Things stay cool(ish). I wouldn't be happy about it, but in MadMax land, comfort would be the least of my concerns.So that's basically a big battery? Not much good if AC disappears for a couple weeks (EQ country here).
Water is my Achilles heal in an earthquake. I have lots of stuff stockpiled. Electricity would be an issue. Fridge meltdown, no lights, but I have lots of flashlights. I keep enough water around to last a while. Buckets but no known source of water! I buy gallons of bottled water from the supermarket, have them around, some in house, garage, even some in the car. Biggest concern is my house might collapse.Yea, a big battery with several power output options. I can live without ac. I go without longer than anyone else around here due to my tree cover.

There's a few problems with my fantasy. I'm still relying on distributed natural gas(I can replace with wood), and distributed water(Much harder problem!). With a complete breakdown of society, water would be tricky. I'm in walking distance of some water, but it's not a comfortable walk hauling 5G buckets of water, and that's lame. I could pay someone(with what??) to drill a well, but that would increase the power requirements substantially. Maybe install a hand pump well. Sucks, but it's better than carrying buckets of water.
I love my wrist and arm rests! I like a big mouse pad, for gaming but just also in general. I always have wrist rests and I have added arm wrests as well starting about 5-6 years ago. Those make a huge difference too.Do you use a pad with a raised bubble thingy to support your tendons?

Mine is double that height. Prevents fatigue.

My 3.5T jack doesn't lift anymore. I am too lazy to hunt down seal kit and replace the seals so picked up a 4T jack.
err, jack stands are a thing.Someone made fun of me for getting under my suv with a 3T jack stand in the I'm wrenching thread.. so I bought some 6T jacks at a sale last november.
I have to say they do look safer when under the car and the 3T ones didn't inspire confidence!
Just gotta sell that 3T ones off sometime.
And I did pick up a 3T long reach jack as well.. it's fine for me! Hopefully lasts a good while.
Would never do that. I would pay someone else to stay safegetting under my suv
