Two keys that need to be removed from the modern PC keyboard...

“Caps Lock”, and “Insert” (which typically toggles insert/overwrite mode when typing).

I would just disable them, but I have applications that use both. (Dammit.)

Our ancestors spent most of their day on their feet. If they wanted something to eat, they hunted it, scoured the forest for it, or worked their fields to grow it. If they wanted to go somewhere, they walked. If they wanted something another person had made, they bartered a physical item that they had made with their own sweat and toil.

I spend most of my day sitting on my ass. If I want something to eat, I walk to the refrigerator. If I want to go somewhere, I drive my car. If I want something another person has made, I pay money earned with great mental exertion, but almost no physical exertion.

As a result, I am fat and weak, and by standards of natural selection I do not deserve to live.

Today I have decided I am going to rectify this situation.

So the Lappy is officially out of commission for a week or two. I turned my back for a second, and the screen went black, and now it won’t even turn on.

I’d get a refund and buy a Dell instead, but Newegg’s laptop policy is exchanges-only. So I gotta ship it back and wait for a replacement, then set everything up from scratch again. I’d like to wipe the hard drive on this one for security’s sake, but that’s a little hard when it won’t power up. Hope Newegg/Acer does it for me.
