So this specific form factor isn’t perfect for everyone, but you actually end up with less cramping when using a keyboard where the letters are column-staggered (like this) rather than row-staggered (like a standard layout).

It’s not “necessary” per se, but it can be beneficial. Personally I’m not sure I would use an Atreus, but there are lots of alternative ergo layouts that can make typing more comfortable and fun. It’s more like when someone mildly nearsighted getting glasses for the first time. 

If you’re interested in Steno, check this guy out:

I’m not sure the best jump would be to something like an Atreus for you. I’d start with something like an Ergodox, tbh.

You’d be surprised. The relearning is not that difficult, though there’s definitely more effort required for a 40% like this one (a keyboard without a number row).

There’s a crapton of similar ergo keyboards on the market currently, at a range of prices, including improved versions of the Atreus.

The almanac was an intentional part of the video game. It’s teaching you about basic research. The game show was more like a Geography Bee. 

Authenticator codes are almost all generated using a common open-source code generation formula. The important aspect is the core “secret,” which is like a randomly generated password (except that you don’t pass it back and forth again). Both you and the website save that secret. Anyone with that secret can generate…

That’s the sort of thing I’d be fine with the core OS doing, but not with an app doing.

For the vast majority of US studios, there is no overtime pay. Exceptions include folks like testers, who are often hired for a shorter term and are paid on an hourly basis.

I don’t know if iPhone allows any application to take a screenshot. I’m surprised that’s even a possibility for Android. A screenshot should only be user-initiated.

I guess The Expanse is like class 2.5. 

I doubt that a population shift resulting from the virus will swing the election.

It’s not a bad business plan. They already do a great job picking up streaming rights to internationally-produced shows. That’s a cost-effective way to be able to constantly have something new to offer. 

Is there a betting component or something in tournament Uno that gives it a bit more of a strategic element?

Yeah, that would make this set cost considerably more than it currently does. These are doubleshot keys, meaning every new legend yields a new mold.

The OED is intended as a historical reference to track how words have been used, not solely what they mean today. It’s exceedingly valuable to anyone studying English linguistics or older literature. 

While the theming around Dune is considerably better, Fantasy Flight’s re-implementation of the rules, Rex, is a much more streamlined game. Did this reprint of Dune make any changes from the original, potentially to match what worked better in Rex?

Robo-calls are in part a result of the insecure and unregulated nature of voice-over-IP. Companies have been slow to do anything about them because until recently, they really couldn’t do anything about them.

I was actually expecting the scientist from Season One, as him being captured and forced to help the Russians made a lot of sense.
