Moving on (for now)

 Nervously browsing my photo album, I see it's like looking at layers of mud on an archaeology show on tv.

Would that I could post juicy layers, or would it bore most and embarrass some.



The irony is, these people are or were extremely wealthy, however bleak and unnoticeable they seem, because they imitate YOU in movies and TV shows, YOU're the bleak one, the forgotten one.

Course, most of them are dead, but I'm sure they died happy.

continuing...


some of these send mixed messages
Sexy (really pissed off) 
Leave! (Why is she dressed that way?)
I feel the lasers from her body electric
Left-picture all squinty and plotting your eventual arrest and death incarceration
Conclusion: Actresses, good ones, KNOW how to squint effectively










Hello??
Maybe I should just type what I am looking for.
OK movie-technology in the thirties can't have been that sophisticated....
and yet...
They managed to transform a plain-looking young girl reading in bed, to an old woman.
in three seconds.
I think it's a Christmas movie.
I asked google and Google says it's from "David Copperfield" although I am very sure I never watched it.
Excuse me all to hell but 1938 is 1930's, yew puffed-up toad.

Maybe one movie copied another, IDK. 
Without the photo in my million-strong album, I can't prove anything.

I'm still looking.

not sure about the "ai upscale" and this was not from my album, rather from persistent googling.


My mouse got here early.
I've owned a lot of trackballs, and this is THE strangest.
It has a large metal plate across its bottom.
The trackball (with the plate) can lean left or right.
In other words, the bottom isn't flat.
I don't get it, yet, but I'm sure there's a blurb out there about it.

I have it tilted to the left. Is that "Flat" like the AI says? I would not know.
Also this: The teeny dongle for Logitech mice, usually has a pocket in the mouse to put it in when not in use.
This mouse has no such pocket that I could see, although it does stick (slight magnetic attraction) to the space between the top of the plate, and the mouse.

It's there now, but a *year* from now it could fall out, lost forever.
I miss the little pocket.




Actually, I'm thinking, "Duct tape," but the adhesive in tape tends to melt off slowly.
Well, I'll think about it.

One of the nicest things I have found so far, is a button plainly visible on the top-side
that reduces the amount of travel of the mouse arrow.
I am sure it has an appropriate long name or acronym, but anyway sometimes you need a little precision, and this button is perfect for that.

My body goes from being very nervous to very sleepy.
It's almost alarming.
Well anyway.

%E2%80%93%20it's%20super%20comfortable.

I Liked this googled review, and only a couple points I wondered about.
Like, which way the mouse should lean.
"Left" is mostly level, and there's the huge hump of the trackball housing digging into your palm.
I am trying "lean right" which slants your hand, thumb-in-the-air, towards the table.
The hammy part of your hand under the pinky rests on the table, or close to it.
The guy brought up "Handshakes" but I don't think it leans that far.
But I'm trying "lean right" as this is one of the least comfortable trackballs I've ever tried.
Your hand will be all impressed, but your wrist will bitch.
My new keyboard arrives today.
Remember the slob on "The Simpsons"? a self appointed critic.
My keyboard has just been critiqued by one of these slobs... and to be fair, he hates most everything

The damned thing about reviewers is, they pick at the wrong stuff.
A dial for volume? Great!!! But some don't think so.
WHY am I up at 3AM reading reviews?
I worry about "Keyboard chatter" and how it relates to keyboard-key activation.
I figure maybe, if I can place enough space between activation and reset, I might just cut down on "chatter" or, what I like to call, "Double-typing."
But that guy distracted me and now I have to go look again.

Maybe I need to ask the question first:
On adjustable keyboards, is there a way to adjust out keyboard chatter?
That's the answer? Seriously?
Factories making mech. keyboards ("MK" say the cool kids) must know about chatter, and what do they recommend?
Forums (I don't want to put words in their mouths but)
https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/vfvb99/mechanical_key_chatter_bounce_the_plague_of/ If I could have bought one on amazon or even from Japan, well, I was seriously considering it.
The black-on-black keys, the ones with nearly invisible letters, were the only ones available.
*I* need a new USB cord soldered on to the keyboard, and a safe cleaner.
Other than those hopeless reasons, I have no decent excuse for an eventual chatterer.
But I hoped, there was an adjustment, a tweak.
