Maybe you should check in with him, make sure he isn’t feeling lonely or depressed. As long as he’s okay with it, great, but if there’s support he needs, don’t assume he can handle it all alone.

I would be 100% thrilled if a giraffe showed up at my corporate office, and I can’t imagine feeling anything else.

How are edge cases supposed to be covered if the developer can’t imagine them? It would save SO MUCH time if everyone were as detail oriented and creative as you.

There are some stores, like Home Depot, Home Goods, and Michael’s (in the US), that are historically pet friendly. Leashed and good manners only of course, but it’s great for socializing a pet and making an employee’s day with cute puppies to break up the retail monotony.

A store that explicitly states service animals only, or has no sign, is not appropriate.

That’s a fair point, and why I have a TKL instead of full size. The reason I wouldn’t consider the % ones is being able to sit at any keyboard for work, friends, in public, relatives, etc and not worry about typos due to the slight placement differences. It’s quite frustrating.

Why do I need it to be compact? Neither my desk nor my fingers are changing sizes.

I bought a printer yesterday and it has a dedicated slot to print on CDs, you’ve inspired me.

Can you cite this source? It’s my personal experience that people will just drop things on the ground if there’s not a convenient trash can.

When is the last time you checked?

You can get a 5tb hard drive for $100, a 4 tb SSD will be about $200, before sales. Worth having if you value your files, even if you’re not switching OS.

Actually, Linux does support NTFS, although you won’t be able to run executables from it. I suggest getting an external HD/SSD to make a backup of all of your drives, then proceed with the switch to Linux.

Only the drive you install it on will be affected, but the other drives likely won’t be formatted to work with Linux.

Note: These types of landlords are renting it out at 3x the cost of their mortgage though.

I’m an adult who also enjoys fun. 😢

Did you see spell check on their list? No energy left for that.
