More than 1 job (requires a laptop each), and 1 for school/leisure.

Hello fellow lemmings!

Cross posted.

I am in need of some advice on how to expand my workstation.

I currently have 2 monitors and 2 laptops with 1 docking station that I switch back and forth between (I do have a second Bluetooth mouse that I connect to the laptop that is not currently connected to the docking station, if I need to).

I would like to have 4 monitors by the upcoming tax season. Also, I would like the option to expand to a total of 3 laptops within a couple years.

I have looked into KVM switches and the only one that I can find for 4 monitors and 2 computers is upwards of $800. Is there a KVM switch out there for 4 monitors and 3 computers, or is this just a pipedream?

What other solutions should I consider? When I expand to 3 computers in the upcoming years, would having 2 workstations be cheaper/more efficient?

I thought that was the point Americans allegedly wouldn't understand. Glad I wasn't the only one that noticed the error in a meme trying to make another culture looks like idiots.

Illegal in the USA, too. It is a rarely enforced law.

My Garfunkel does this every time he wants/receives pets. It's his routine and he is over 13.

I need to rewatch. I remember exactly who Chili Palmer is.

I think TalkingCat is referring to the Chinese balloons that were recently spotted floating over the USA and into Canada, I believe. The Chinese government said they were merely weather balloons.

Maybe try specific types of flour? Bread flour, pastry flour, all purpose flour, etc ...

It's very "meh" in the U.S., too. I do not understand the infatuation.

My favorite, honey nut shredded wheat, hasn't been discontinued but sadly, no grocer in my area orders it!

I know a lot of the parenting subs would ban you if you commented in r/childfree. Albeit, childfree is a toxic sub and a lot of the people there would subscribe to parenting subs just to troll them.

LoZ: Ocarina of Time. I really appreciate that I can run across the main part of the map in less than an in-game day. BotW and TotK are vast and I love them in their own right but I am really enjoying the OG scale of the map.

Edit to add: and the dungeons! :)
