  • I think there are a lot of things that are behind subscriptions that you do not realize. One example is computer mice.

    They use switches that are only rated for a certain number of clicks before they stop working.

    I was going through mice about once every 18 months. I decided to learn to soldier and just replace the switches once they broke.

    I found that the switched in the $100 Logitech mouse I bought were only rated for 5 or 10 million clicks. The switch they use can be purchased in a 70 million version. Why didn’t they use that from the start?

    I ended up repairing 3 mice and have a lot of extra switches sitting in a bit at home.





  • Yeah we are great now.

    Can’t you tell, we have less pencils in our home and umm… pencils are made with lead, and that is bad for us.

    Oh, they are also made with wood and that can catch fire. So our homes are safer.

    Umm and uhh… You know, I could slip and fall on a pencil.

    So, yeah, We are great again.

    /s < if it wasn’t obvious.

    Also I know pencils are not made of lead, they are made of graphite.
