Last year I bought myself a nice Logitech mechanical keyboard.

But now after a year, my a and s key have become so sensitive, that even just resting my fingers on them causes them to trigger. SSome might have noticed my posts containing more asses and ace than an occasional typo.

I suspect my w and d keys will follow suit soon. It must be the heavy use of asdw causing it.

Anyone familiar with mechanical keyboards and possible fixes to this? Changing input delay settings is not what I need. It's the keys themselves that are mechanically too sensitive.

What are some effective, cheap ways to get smoke residue and ash out of an enclosed space, without opening it up to the below-freezing temperatures outdoors? I already left it open for 18+ hours. It's just too damn cold out.
 
I've used the shop vacuum wherever I can get it. The holiday and being made to come to work early fucked up my plan to buy more bags for it. And I've been using paper towels and 409 to wipe down every surface and object I can, removed all the fabrics i can and washed those that could be washed.

There's plenty of lingering ash and dust though. It makes my nostrils and eyes burn after only a few minutes.

Red cross says this. Trisodium phosphate, soap, bleach, water. Use protection, more than one of those is a skin irritant.

What the hell is C-sec from? It's a security/police/that sort of thing from some piece of media I've seen (No, not a caesarean section) and I can't for the life of me place which one.

probably something like wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo; a small word drawn out past the point of reason

the limitation is more physical than conceptual, and if you hook up a text-to-speech, it might not actually have to end until the hardware cuts out

how many weeks the ooo can be drawn out is an engineering question, at that point

The lenght of a queue is capped by the lifespan of it's participants

Eh, sure, but the participants aren't static. Figure out a way to maintain a queue's reproductive equilibrium and it can far outlast the lifespan of any individual participant.
