as long as i am crowding up the place asking for wisdom of the crowd
hello fellow #adhd havers, and-or #chronicillness havers, does anyone have like a cleaning checklist that breaks it down weekly for things to do per room/area?
i know that there's an absolute incredible amount of people doing such things on pinterest because they are doing the whole "i am a perfect housekeeper and behold my perfect life" thing but i am more interested in like. people also in these trenches lol. things that other people use and that work for them, basically.
it doesn't have to be the whole big shitwhack of spring cleaning whatnot, but just a checklist of daily cleaning going area by area so that i have a guide to follow that doesn't get me paralyzed in trying to figure it out all myself and screaming in terror at everything that needs to happen lmfao
so out of curiosity because i feel like the answer here is "still eye-bleedingly expensive", o #mechanicalkeyboard tag, but
is there any place out there making mechanical keyboard, uh, boards? like the base you customize with keys you like etc etc?, for split keyboards? fully split down the middle, in two pieces, not just ergonomically slanted but two actual pieces of the keyboard that can be a few feet apart or more if you get a longer cable?
because not going to lie, even as i find it immensely useful and an incredibly necessary thing for me to even use a computer... i kinda want an upgrade for the split keyboard i have. with a longer cord. but it's already as long as the kinesis freestyle 2 gets lol. i am mildly dreaming of a split keyboard where the two parts are attached by like. a stupidly long cord, but done up in curlicues like wired telephones connecting base to handset so it's relatively out of the way but then can stretch across the room if you're walking and talking and also it is 1993.
i would also, not gonna lie, enjoy using prettier keys sometimes. and i feel like i am ALMOST to a point where, technically, and through the grace of my dad's really excellent "used to write articles for electronics magazines reviewing ICs" workshop up there, and health-wise, but let's be real it's mostly coasting off my dad's shit, i think i could have the ability to put together Babby's First Customized Mechanical Keyboard?? fisher-price level beginner mind you where you're basically plugging stuff into stuff into other stuff with only a little soldering or whatever. but i'm like. JUST ABOUT THERE.
i have no fucking clue if such a thing is even goddamn made, mind you. but if someone who knows about mechanical keyboards could maybe give me a heads up if this thing even exists or is doable, i would dearly love that. thank you for your wisdom, keyboard clackers
i will also say here's a transcription and subtitles thing that really does need to stop happening, and it grinds my gears despite the fact that i am in no way hoh/deaf:
hey if you let the computer auto-transcribe or auto-subtitles
for the love of all things good on god's green earth
just
fucking
make a real human being
look at the results
with real human eyeballs
and fucking edit it.
special shoutout here goes to the slate.com transcripts for their advice column transcripts. they're so proud of how accessible things are because they made the computer transcribe it! and then, i shit you not, the computer immediately gets the name of one of the podcast hosts wrong, usually in the introduction, and will proceed to get it wrong in new and interesting ways for the rest of the transcription. along with things like the computer being very bad at distinguishing voices conclusively and deciding to err on the side of "too many speakers" than "combining speakers". so you get the podcast hosts as speakers numbers one through fucking nineteen.
it would take a fucking intern maybe all of thirty minutes to simply edit this, and that's being extremely generous in the time limit. for a lot of it they wouldn't even have to listen to the podcast. you just literally need a human brain and human intelligence going "wait a second, the host of this show is named Jenee, not Jenny, not Genie, not Jeanie..." and fucking caring about it.
anyway slate doesn't put comment sections on those podcast episodes probably to keep me from doing exactly fucking this in them because although i do not wish to do free work for the company, their transcript is worse than useless as an accessibility feature. it is the equivalent of saying "of course we have a wheelchair ramp!" and then the wheelchair ramp is rotten wood that will plunge you down into the sewers when it breaks, but the company wants to stand there with their accessibility rewards and be proud of it anyway.
