Time is just a construct for me at the moment. I've been fully nocturnal for about 3 days. I got up at 9PM and I'm watching Twitch streams drinking whiskey cokes.

The best joke I ever heard was a socialist calling a capitalist a communist, in an electronics store, no less.

Hmm need to find a headset for this voip system we are getting but the prices seem to vary so much! And then also there are some that seem to force you to have the headphone and speaker on the left, I prefer the right so trying to find one that can be either ear

lol

There are some where it doesn't look like you can without potentially affecting the mic (I.e. picking your voice up clearly) because it only let's the mic arm come down so far. Obviously there probably are several more that do its just trying to find one for a decent price and good reviews

The mic should rotate on the Y axis so you just make it high or lower after you mirror it. I can’t see how that won’t work.

Presumably spinning it round would make the mic point backwards if it doesn't rotate sufficiently to do a full 180?

It only need to rotate about 90 degrees really from being in line with the head band.

Tell that to the left hand mouse club.

Back to normal this morning, laughter and smiles again.

She's now watching the First Minister's coronavirus update so hopefully it'll help her realise (again) that I don't make the rules. Anyway, I'm not labouring the point - I'll just let her watch it quietly.

Hey there's nowt wrong with being a lefty though I actually use my mouse with my right hand. If I wanted to I could use my left it doesn't bother me, same as I can write with my right hand (it's just a bit scruffy)

Are you ambidextrous too?

HungryHippos · 23 Oct 2020 at 12:42

I can do a lot of stuff with either hand pretty well but I draw the line at things like writing, it would be beyond scruffy!

I actually eat with my knife and fork in the wrong hands for a right handed person, dunno why just feels more natural to do it.

Yadda · 23 Oct 2020 at 12:48

I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous!

Sort of yes

when I was little I was given the impression that being left handed was wrong (even though 3 immediate family members are lefties) so I would practice and practice writing with my right hand lol. I eat with my fork in left and knife in right, use computer mouse with right hand, scissors in left but I can't use left handed ones, they're weird lol.

Interestingly a fellow left handed colleague once said to me that she felt the fork in left and knife in right was actually the left handed way. If we are eating with both the fork is in the left , if we are then just eating with a fork, it still stays in our left hand. Whereas right handed people have to switch and put the fork in their right

lol

I know quite a few right handed people who have knife in left and fork in right

HungryHippos · 23 Oct 2020 at 13:07

Yes mine is fork in right and knife in left hand!

Whenever I go to a more formal dinner like a wedding reception or something I have to swap them over.

cmmon don't start that ha there's a fork thread somewhere I kid you not! - lol

I can use either or fork in any hand. Can even use it between my toes.

vanpeebles · 23 Oct 2020 at 13:25

I'm right handed, but use my mouse in my left hand

Sometimes I left it on the left, then use my right hand with the mouse sideways.
