Exactly. Read the OP's question in the title and immediately thought the answer is "Literally any other restaurant."

I especially like that the duck has built in leg compartments (as dude's leg/foot should be popping out from under the wing instead of not being visible). The legs get tucked into the duck for comfort and style.

I'm going to be exceedingly gracious and assume that the one person who downvoted your comment (as of the time I'm typing this) accidentally hit the wrong button and didn't realize it.

Are you on Windows 11?

Regardless of how your touch typing improvement project goes, be sure to get a good mic. Voice typing has come a long way, if you work in circumstances where you can speak aloud. It's usually faster than my touch typing most of the time (not that I'm a blazing fast typist, but still).

Ah, yes. Siork. My absolute favorite brand of canned mac and cheese.

Approaching 50 as well. Definitely need to get more active, I just have some physical issues from old injuries and conditions. I know I can find something to increase my activity though. Biking, swimming, something out there is doable.

Ah, yes, just an average Tuesday in Florida.

I love mine so much that I didn't bother replacing my old laptop after it died, I just bought a dock, pulled an old Bluetooth mouse and keyboard out of storage, and the Deck is my daily driver now.

I have fantastic experiences playing mine. I recently upgraded to the OLED and gave the old LCD to a friend, and now he's addicted to PC gaming as well. We play stuff every weekend, opening Steam voice calls is built right into the UI and it's a fantastic experience. If you are thinking about getting into gaming, or gifting one to a gamer, I can't recommend it enough.

This is the image you use if you are attempting to have Disney and Nintendo lawyers trample each other in their mad dash to the courthouse to sue you.

I trained in Tang Soo Do for almost 5 years in my 30s, before I hurt myself (an injury not related to martial arts training). I've been wanting to get back into it in the years since, but haven't been able to for various reasons.

I really enjoyed the training. I kept in good shape, and became very close with the people in my school.... I still talk to them occasionally today despite having moved out of the area some years back. I enjoyed practicing the various techniques, pushing myself to my limits... I would highly recommend structured martial arts training to anyone.

That being said: martial arts are a LAST defense... they are NOT the go-to defense.

If you're attacked, especially by multiple assailants, RUNNING is what you're looking to do. Your self-defense skills are primarily there to CREATE an opportunity to flee, if you don't have one immediately available.

Life is not a 1960's kung-fu movie, and you risk a lot by trying to stand your ground when you don't have to, so fight is rarely the correct answer when presented with a fight-or-flight scenario. It's better to not be in that mindset.

Ah yes, I know that when I invite my horse friends to a beach party, I frequently forget to bring the magical pachinko machine full of spaghetti... but not this guy, he's a pro.

Exactly. It's not like you'd be playing a ton of stuff on the Deck at 1200p if you had this screen... but it'd be nice to have the option for older games that don't need a ton of power at that resolution. And this screen barely costs more than the 800p LCD replacement screen.
