lol I feel like I’m living in a different planet. I’ve got leather loafers. I just pull the on with my finger—never considered they a tn be a problem. Boots, umm, have laces. I also wear sneakers—the only ones that have a crumpled back are those that I’ve knowingly abused by making them effectively slip ons (not untying the laces).

WTF is going on here??? I have literally NEVER known of or heard of anyone using a shoehorn. Even my grandparents. I live in the US. Is this maybe a niche thing in some other country???

Yeah wtf is going on. Can the WP no longer afford to edit anything?

You might say the same thing about 15 year olds…

I mean to be fair they are very cheap to purchase all things considered. That said I’ve still got my Kindle 3 I bought used on eBay and it’s still going strong after like 10 years I’ve owned it.

Absolute tuna can

The thing is, “research” doesn’t speak, humans do. If a tree falls in the woods… and so on. Part of being a scientist is communicating what you’ve done, otherwise no one else will know. It’s a skill that has to be developed in some more than others, and it was a key part of my training as a scientist. I don’t really like that part as much, but I do it because it’s what makes my work have any impact.

The best keyboard I found to use as an iPad as a laptop replacement is the Logitech Combo Touch. There are different ones for iPad, Air, and Pro. The keyboard and trackpad both feel great to work with and you can pull the iPad off if you want to use it as a tablet. On the plus side, staying in a case protects it (and it has a sturdy kick stand), but the biggest downside is that it adds a lot of weight. You’d just have to feel it to decide. I also bought a generic magnetic folio, which I use about half the time.

Getting away with it? You know lightning came out like 4 years before USB-C, right?

Oh man, my 7 was a TANK. No case, battery lasted forever (or I didn’t notice it), just had a scratch on the screen.
