I don't use my TLR lenses as often, so storing is a concern. SLR lenses are more cylindrical, so I'm sure it's much easier to store on end so they don't roll around. TLR lenders are more brick shaped; also, the lens ID info is printed on the top of Mamiya TLR lenses. I'll probably just fit them in the storage bag however they fit best.

 

I have a few Mamiya TLR lenses. Should I store them upright vertical (lenses direction horizontal) or on their side (lenses direction vertical)? I'm thinking that if there is lubricant in the internal mechanisms, there's probably an optimal way to store them. Thanks.

I think that any cooperative (co-op or coop) game would fit the bill.

My favorites are Pandemic & all Pandemic system games if you like the themes or any of the Gloomhaven games (my favorite is the Jaws of the Lion).

Once I started using the tool lending libraries in the San Francisco East Bay, it was a game changer for simple maintenance.

Some bike shops also have public work benches with tools. https://www.boxdogbikes.com/about-1

I've been a user of Master PDF for years now. It's my go-to for PDF markup in Linux. Their yearly renewal can be kinda wonky, but their customer service has been excellent.

How do you like that trackball? It looks like a nice one.

Ubuntu when they first switched to Unity. I had been running Ubuntu for 2 or 3 years at that point, but I was already thinking about switching to Debian at the time. I hobbled along for a few weeks on that first version of Unity, but I didn't like what I was seeing. I took the plunge into Debian, thinking, "If I'm going to have to learn something new anyways, I might as well try switching."

I was going to say use the old timey fixed width typewriter fonts that the US Army Corps uses (PDF page 5 and beyond), but I guess that they've switched to Times New Roman.

Maybe use open source fonts like DejaVu and Liberation?

Had to look it up, and of course there's a Wikipedia page. I guess the population centroid has been just west of the Mississippi River in Missouri circa 1980. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_center_of_the_United_States_population
