1. It hasn't affected my ability to use a normal keyboard. Using my laptop to type occasionally probably helps with this.
2. Can't help you, I stuck with QWERTY
3. My favorite feature of my ergo keyboard is the fact that it is split, so I could see the appeal of a split but otherwise normal keyboard. But, I would recommend sticking with the Moonlander. It took me 2 weeks until I was comfortable typing after I switched. Not fast mind you, just comfortable. Then maybe another month until I didn't have to look down for special keys. Definitely a time investment, but worth it in my opinion.

I tend to use glass jars for this. They are reusable and recyclable, you can see what's in them, they protect what's inside from getting crushed, and they're free if you repurpose jars that food came in.

It took me about two weeks to get fully comfortable going from a normal keyboard to a Keyboardio. It was a long two weeks but I'm really glad I did it. And so are my fingers.

Is that an airplane seat in a house?

It doesn't lead to a destination, and maybe isn't even a riddle, but a sentence I like is:

Is your answer to this question the same as if I had asked you to give me a dollar?

At least it's something that could be added, as opposed to something that needs removing or changing. Of course, that doesn't matter if there's no desire or money to change it.

Depending on the device side connector and how the PCB is designed it actually can be orientation-dependent.

Possibly the two newer Zelda games.

If I remember the name correctly, "Sleep With Me" is designed specifically for this purpose.

This idea of complete control over your reality reminds me of the book/novella The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect. Suffice it to say the story suggests that such a reality would ultimately be meaningless.

I would say it sounds great though, even if eventually it gets really depressing.

Mindustry is a mix of a base builder and tower defense. It's also available for PC.

Embarrassingly it took me years to realize what that quote meant. I had always interpreted it to mean that the item is found in an unexpected place. But of course what it really means is that you stop looking once the item is found, therefore that's the last place you looked 🤦
