The 10000 kettlebell swing challenge.

@brute - Yeah, during a brief period between vi, where people still typed with both index fingers, and smartphones, where people switched to typing with both thumbs, many people pursued the novel concept of trying to type with all the 10 fingers of human hands. While most humans failed to max out their digital potential or switch to DVORAK, many humans still made an earnest attempt at going beyond two digit typing. That brief era will eventually become known as the peak of the information age in terms of signal/noise ratio. It will be missed and ignored as such peaks tend to be.

[BRUTE]

brute commiserates. he thinks mobile phones and especially UIs are a step back in civilization.

btw, DVORAK is overrated. brute of course uses Colemak, which wasn't invented in 1936 for typewriters.

[jacob]

Oh! And also Oi! as well!

At this point, jacob expects brutes to go extinct before the year 2100 or any investment horizon that is reasonably covered by firecalc.com, because Colemak seems to favour the development of middle and index finger strength which are certainly not the strong fingers for the choice of club, mace, and/nor even sword wielding (ring and pinkie fingers) that any brute or brutish warrior should value to wield or even hang onto their choice weapons in order to stay in evolutionary contention trying to one-up Genghis Kahn. Surely every brute knows that gloves or lanyards are for losers. While others of even lesser regard might prefer to choose guns, bows, and similar cowardly weapons of distance, such are surely not chosen by brute himself nor by his honourable compatriots! Because of the choice of Colemak typing, jacob expects brute+fellow brutes to be extinct inside of one or two generations. Too bad, really. However. Looking forward to the next and final 50ish years of fun forum exchanges... after which double-thumb qwerty---if that concept even makes sense compared to random arrangement---will probably win the DNA game. Dawkins will be proud or banging his head against the wall. Probably the same thing really.

[BRUTE]

to be honest, brute has no f*%^&*ng clue what jacob's trying to say is there still a competition of who's the greater nerd?

[FBeyer]

Jacob found out he had no more ammo and resorted to Renaissance man ideals to undermine your credentials.

Also: screw vi. If I ever make a .txt file a :wq sneaks its way in there somehow.

Also also: I've been using vim for two years now... Mostly because I don't know how to exit the editor
