At least with this breaking, I noticed that VCG had purchased 500px. All my best pics on a site they own, that'll go well!
So deleted the 500px account, and I was going to look through theirs to see if anything on mine was was out there...

Objectified was surprisingly good; never expected I'd watch it more than once, and I'm not a design nerd.
Bonus points for having a zeppelin in it!

What I want back is the original Trackman Marble USB Wheel
Amen to that. Logitech really failed when they went to wireless only on a mouse that specifically -doesn't have to be moved-.
The closest thing I have found to a decent replacement is the Elecom EX-G. (M-XT3URBK) It's a little bit smaller, but quite usable and includes extra buttons and an extra high-low speed mode switch on the pinkie. Very nice, but out of the box they ship with a black trackball that has tracking issues. However you can swap your Trackman trackball in and it works perfectly.
Now if only it came with a high-polling rate driver.

As a hardcore gamer that finished "Nightmare" mode in most games for the last 40 years, I understand that out of the gate, I know exactly what kind of dedication goes into playing hard, and it IS real. My crew and I were in the top 1%.
But that said, watching my kid play Water Polo... seriously, gamers are a bunch of fuckin' posers. And my kid by choice would play TF2. He's a vicious spy.
The old line was 'no pain no gain'. That's the problem with e-sports. No pain.

How many cups do you drink total, though?
1) Get double-capacity mug.
As it happens, the SO got me this great TF2 'cup.' As it's double sized, I'm usually on #13-14 before I realize I need to Set the Twinkie Down and Step Away(tm)
Adding water is just.... gads, equal parts repulsive and rational

I am humbled the score 5 Funny for "No control is the real issue". I should reply to the previous post more often!
I'd like to point out by "no control" I was really talking about Google, Apple, police brutality, congress, Depends, the morning after Super Sushi Night and memes with cats

I have no idea. It looked a lot like the previous story on the screen!
Shouldn't have used the words "no control"

As a serious coffee consumer, their main problem is you can't customize the cup of coffee. I drink so much coffee that I started making it weaker, and weaker, and then half strength. The last time I stayed in an office with a Keurig setup, I think I nearly killed myself before I realized what was happening.
I'd love to have one, but the 'my way or the highway' reality of those little cups doesn't work. And don't even start on the cost.

Been there, still doing that that.
Waste of time on a 4 year old. I have bright 11+ yr olds who are only beginning to really get it. Even while they have stuff in the TF2 workshop. It's both sad and hard to see that they, too, are distracted by the 3D shiny instead of the gameplay diamond. But they're getting there.
