Not really - seems like a pretty accurate description

Ypu're not going to beat Unicomp or New Model F, but if you go for box I went with the Box Navy rather than Jade after looking at the force curves and was happy with the results.

Another former Model M user here. Take a look at the Kailh Box Navy's too. After killing my second Model M (not sure how, the boards just died), I dug deep into the force curves and it seemed like a better match even than the Holy Pandas. Kitted out a 40% ortho keyboard with the box blues and was quite pleased with the results.

Since then I managed to get a new Model F Kishsaver on deep sale, but living situation changed and haven't been able to touch either of them in over half a year.

Still have to watch out for RSI with these, unfortunately. I absolutely loved its predecessor, trackman wheel but a few years with it left me with an excruciating case of DeQuervain's tenosynovitis and I've been afraid to try it again since.

How about the fact that she herself is a survivor, so it does personally affect her life?

~~Her money came from working, not ownership, inheritance, or management. She's rich, but still working class.~~

Correction: Between the record company and "ED by Ellen" brand, she's been a member of the capitalist class since at least 2010

In this case, the United States. When healthcare is expensive and hard to access, not everybody gets it.

Syphilis symptoms can be so mild they go unnoticed. When you combine that with risky sexual behavior (hook-up culture, anti-condom bias) and lack of testing due to inadequate medical care, you can wind up with untreated syphilis. If you become homeless, care gets even harder to access.

You get diagnosed at a late stage when treatment is more difficult. They put you on a treatment plan, but followup depends on reliable transportation and the mental effects of the disease have made you paranoid. Now imagine you're also a member of a minority on which medical experiments have historically been done without consent or notice.

You don't really trust that those pills are for what you've been told at all. So difficulty accessing healthcare, changing clinics as you move around with medical history not always keeping up, distrust of the providers and treatment, and general instability and lack of regular routine all add up to only taking your medication inconsistently.

Result: under-treated syphilis

One step less extreme - hair bleach kills them, and you get to keep the (somewhat damaged) hair. Ask me how I know.

Could be. I've also seen similar delusions in people with syphilis that went un- or under-treated.

A deaf policeman heard the noise, and came and shot those two dead boys. If you don't think my story's true, ask the blind man. He saw it too..

Dehumidifier if it's wet or you have a basement. Washing machine. Clothes dryer on a timer if you don't hang dry. Dishwasher if you have one (uses more power than you think - they start with cold water and electrically heat it even if you have a water heater). Pump water to a cistern if you have a well (or lake if you're on a bit of land - good for irrigation and even pumped hydro). Any tool that uses a universal motor. EV charging (including bikes).

Look around your house - anything that you only do once a day or less is fair game.
