Why would anyone choose to become a teacher now, at any level?

You’d have to be fucking crazy.

It’s always been a difficult, under-compensated job.

Now it’s a totally untenable one for anyone who has any other choice at all.

I’ve been using mechanical keyboards again for about three years now, after having used them in the 80s and early 90s (that’s all there was then).

They are faster, more efficient and less tiring. They are a completely better typing experience. Far superior in every way.

This article covers the basics fairly well.

The browns are quieter than the article makes them out to be, though. They keyboard they’re in matters, too — I have two keyboards with brown switches and one is quite a bit quieter than the other.

I haven’t done any formal measurements other than a few probably-inaccurate typing tests, but my typing speed I’d estimate is 20-30% faster with a mechanical keyboard with probably 50% fewer typos.

Recommended in every way.

Cumulative effects and predictive value of common obesity-susceptibility variants identified by genome-wide association studies.

I know these specialist-aimed paper can be hard to read and understand especially for people not used to looking at such things, but the basic conclusion is that all of the risk alleles combined only account for ~1% of BMI/weight variance.

All SNPs combined explained 0.9% of BMI variation, with an AUC of 0.574 (95% CI: 0.559, 0.590) for prediction of obesity.

The rest is due to other factors.

Like eating too fucking much. (That part is not in the paper.)

So nope, your genetics ain’t makin’ you fat.
