  • Hallmark movies have cookie cutter plots usually involving one of the characters reuniting with someone while visiting their home town and then falling in or rekindling love. The characters tend to be divorced or in an unhappy relationship, and one of the driving forces of tension is the push for them to get with each other before the visiting party has to leave







  • Button or switches need to be open or closed. A spring strong enough to force the button to switch when pushed is used because if you were to push it down and let the contacts touch slowly, the contacts would bounce and you’d get multiple clicks with a single press (undesirable). Mice tend to have very little button travel which doesn’t lend itself well to using other kinds of switches which allow smoother / quieter switches.

    Some quieter or less clicky switches probably do exist but its at the tradeoff of greater travel distance, mushy feeling or double clicking. I recall a mouse with rubber dome buttons that was discontinued because it feels like crap ans no one bought it











  • Craigslist/fb marketplace can be a good way to find garage sales so you dont have to negotiate a meet up time / place or anything. Also look for estate / moving sales. Check along local roads for signs on upcoming garage sales.

    Thrift stores can be ok but can be expensive or not have great stuff if its in an expensive area. Consider going to smaller shops / delis and looking for if they have a section for local business cards; some places will have a section where people will leave a stack of business cards, so you might be able to find smaller thrift/antique shops that way, or find an ad someone has left for upcoming sales.

    Also check: local facebook groups, local library in person / website

    Not sure about other online sites or specific items though.
