I buy my rice at the dollar store in little microwave packets. One minute on high and I have a perfect serving of rice each and every time.

My wife's lefty Razer Naga is losing buttons but no one makes an mmo-flavored lefty mouse anymore. I don't think it's something I can fix though.

That sounds so much easier. I hate cleaning up after making rice.

You even usually have your choice of 3 or 4 different types of rice.
I am of course a white boomer that didn’t eat rice until well in my life so they all look and taste exactly the same to me.

My current mice at home and work are Razer Taipa mice. I buy my own mice for work because I hate a cheap mouse.

I have mine set to such a high level no one else seems to be able to use it. I can go from the left edge of monitor 1 to the right edge of monitor two by tilting my hand about 20 degree arc, 10 degrees each side of "North".

I preferred my old DeathAdder but it died when the pickups for the laser went out. the Taipa is OK but not my favorite.

I'm left handed but use my mouse right handed, always have. You can't game effectively with a left-hand mouse, or at least I can't.

I found this out when I had repetitive stress syndrome on my right arm and couldn't use the mouse with my right hand anymore. Also found out the hard way that WASD is only on the left side of the keyboard... so yeah, doesn't work well

Probably Indians. They tend to cook their rice right away. And restaurants, maybe. But I get your point. My wife never said to do the finger thing, and she doesn't do it herself. Her grandpa had, and she worked at, a restaurant in SF Chinatown. Go figure. This comedian was just taking an opportunity to make lightly racist jokes. I guess he has a big audience for them.

Often it's just a little spring or a little piece of broken plastic.

Dating women is hard. Dating a recently divorced women is a minefield in a losing war!

It's the side buttons though, which I think is it's own board. Even down a few buttons she still uses it, so I don't want to risk breaking it.

Ever try a Logitech G502? Great mouse.
