Dead Pool tomorrow. nbc won with Yahya Sinwar

Sympathizing here. When I go from real keyboard to phone pseudokeyboard, my speed goes from 80 wpm to 0.8 wpm. A stylus helps a little: it takes two or three whole minutes before terminal frustration set in in stead of the usual 30-40 seconds.

@Stoaty — Once the teething is over then you’ll be able to bite the bastids. I hope it’s all over today so we can do the Dead Pool tomorrow!

Does your sell plan let you use your phone as a hotspot? That might work better.

I have zombie fingers! My finger tips and touch pads don’t play well together. Very frustrating. But I have soft touch pens all over the house and keep two in every handbag I own.

We are on our 3rd internet provider in four years. I must say—this one is screaming fast—much faster than what was guaranteed. My computer lags though.

So you didn’t go with Starlink, I take it?

I can’t even begin to tell you how fat my fingers are on the iPhone keyboard.

Occasionally I get a humorous fat finger result, mostly it’s fifteen attempts to, today for example, spell Kroger properly but getting all sorts of Aryan name variations like Krieger followed by shouting and expletives.

This kindle keyboard is only slightly better.
I need a real keyboard.

I somehow find it hilarious that we have gone from discussing a broken piece of “state-of-the-art technology” from 300,000 years ago to a broken piece of technology today.

Bet that damn stick never worked quite right either…..

“Dammit Orf! Another horse got away. They said this thing was the best thing since sliced bread a big rock, but it drives me crazy!”

Oops! New Dead Pool next week. I didn’t see that in time. Was anybody else thoroughly creeped out by the drone footage of Sinwar’s last minutes? Brrrr…

We are currently using our phones as a hotspot, and we’re getting a modem that takes a phone chip. But we’ve had burps with suppliers. And I suck down hellatious amounts of data, so I didn’t want to use up my phone contract.
