Eternal battery life for my smartphone

I technically can choose to never run out of battery power because I can portably always charge on the go without being tied to any wires or power outlets

Outcome you can reliably ensure might be a better way to phrase this and other submissions but you get what I’m saying 🕵

    Similar story - my dad got a used electric typewriter from work and I LOVED typing on that thing, so I went to summer school to take a typing class. In my 20s a coworker called me “machine-gun <me>”. For some reason my typing is shit on laptops tho.

      The low travel on the keys is probably the issue. The machine gun sound of your typing is probably because of long travel with speed making a lot of force hitting the key bed, so having a longer travel will probably help there. Also, chiclet keys are really different to standard keys, they are super flat and have no centering dip so you tend to slide to the edges and have reduced accuracy. Add that to the dense layout and you have a recipe for disastrous typing.

        The “machine gun” name was from my first job, “technical typist”, waaay back in the late 70s. We were using glorified typewriters with rolls of actual paper, that also recorded the output so it could be fed into a typesetting machine to print books. That’s why it was loud. But somebody in college made a similar remark when I was writing a term paper on a typewriter. I had to show her there were actual words on the paper because she thought I was faking it.
