I'm only on a laptop if I'm in hunting camp. At home I'm on my desktop with a full keyboard, mouse, and a 24 in monitor that my son left. He's a gamer and his set-up used 6 monitors.

Get reversed? Did I commit some great sin?

No! I just wasn't sure what you meant. I get it now. @Weird Tolkienish Figure

I need a BIG screen and a mouse... Can't really function without them...

I love laptops. To me, phones and tablets never really improved that much on laptops (well phones are a different story with a different use case).

I use a separate 32" 4k monitor where the font is still small (125% scaling) but I can get a boat load of things on the screen. From schematics and PCB layout to lots of code.

And I can't do that with a 15" or 17" laptop 4k monitor... Then the font is just too small for me... But the laptop 4k monitor does do it cleanly.

I don't recall what my main monitor is on my desk... I think it's a 22", with 2 17's, one on either side. There's also a KVM setup on the main to send me over to my main test box, so I can operate that from my desk too.

But I'm a dinosaur. I do OOP, but badly, always going to line coding in all things. So I have a text editor, a cmd box, and my BaknBits (boilerplate and custom pre-made code), along with a file tree open, and that's all I need. Got pretty fancy when I went to a tabbed editor and a tabbed cmdbox.

The left-side monitor is always sitting on my main server, the right usually dedicated to PIM or the Project Manager. If I have Project management up, my PIM is on my laptop or my tablet, which is another station on my desk, though that station is usually in stand-by.

The only thing that sucks is that my test box needs it's own KB... so sending the vid over to my desk mains I have to run 2 KB at once... That's kinda a kludge, but I make do.

If any Mormon churches are still doing Scouts - many congregations left between 2018 and 2020 - this should have them reconsidering. Similarly, many Scout troops are sponsored by Evangelical churches, and this move could also bring reconsideration and possibly some moving over to Trail Life. Scouting lost close to 20% of its boys when the Mormon church bailed, so this move could exacerbate that loss. Even if GSA and SA merged (speaking hypothetically), the conglomerate organization might be land-poor, having trouble maintaining their facilities, due to long-term-trend and change-related membership decline.
