Ffs, the page you linked: "This Position was approved in January 2025 and will remain in effect until December 31, 2032"

And the page about childhood nutrition: "This position is in effect until December 31, 2025."

Everything that I've cited is still in effect. Seriously, are you delusional?

Where does it say that?

Looks like there is at least one mechanical chiclet keyboard out there.

It's very common. Quake, as one example requires a number of simultaneous key presses for it's movement tech. Another I just tested out is Infernax, an old-school style metroidvania. With a controller I had no problem holding the forward and jump buttons, and then hitting the attack button. If I do that with the keyboard, the character won't attack. And to make sure it wasn't just that game, I loaded up Timespinner to try the same thing. If I hold forward and jump, they won't attack. Although curiously if I hold up and jump, they will attack, so I suspect it has to do with forward/back (a or d), jump (j), and attack (h) all being on the same row.

I'm honestly amazed there isn't a company out there making making premium aftermarket laptop keyboard upgrades, including with features like key rollover. Anyone jumping on this first would have zero competition (at least for now).

If anything I want to try going as quiet as possible. I find deeper tones more pleasant than sharp ones, but overall I still want the least noise I can get.

And it also discussed benefits, such as lower risk of certain diseases.

Even the new paper (the very one you linked to) says that the subject of pregnant women and people under the age of 18 are simply out of the scope of the paper. To interpret that as meaning in anyway that they're saying people need to eat animal products to be healthy is factually incorrect.

"This Position Paper addresses vege- tarian dietary patterns in adults aged 18 years or older who are not pregnant or lactating. Facilitating vegetarian di- etary patterns in individuals younger than age 18 years and/or for those pregnant or lactating requires specific guidance that considers how vege- tarian dietary patterns may influence these crucial stages of growth and development and is outside the scope of this Position Paper. The target audi- ence for this article is RDNs, NDTRs, and other health care practitioners."

No longer the position of a academy, post-Trump administration. As if anything can be trusted from US institutions anymore.

Wow, that definitely brings color to your desk. I was just watching a video about a Topre keyboard last night, and I think it highlighted why I don't so much like the mechanical ones - the sound is too high. The Topre keyboard had a distinctly bassier sound, and I found that more pleasant. I have O-rings on one of the keyboards but I think think that goes far enough. I might experiment with different keycaps and other dampening methods to try to change up the sounds they make. One has clicky-sounding, uh, lavender cherry-style switches, and the other has reds which feel/sound more linear. I definitely prefer the reds by quite a bit.

It depends. For example I just made one quick search, "biodegradable vegan shoes", and this was one of the first results:

Also see here, leather at least as bad environmentally, in addition to being ethically awful.

If you didn't have this condition, then would you make the switch?

What is this condition you have?
