    Try a keyboard running QMK firmware. You can map a single key to multiple codes depending on the length of the key press. I use caps lock as escape if released immediately, and con…

    Not only that, you could see it in the middle of the day. After witnessing that I understood why ancient people considered them an act of god.

    That’s interesting, I’ve been on vyvanse for five years now and never felt any of the telltale signs of dependency (which I am familiar with). I had to stop taking it for a month o…

    I’ll address the elephant in the room; I think that at this time, the use case for this with the widest potential for adoption is VR porn. I would very much like to see how well th…
