    Apply some chewing gum to the finger. A thin layer, not more than 1 millimeter thick, or you risk passing some of it to the page. Maintain the gum layer moisturized to about 40%. No more. This level of moist ensures the page is flipped, but the tension of its weight releases it as soon as it crosses the well known 55% barrier. It's the momentum that will allow the page to keep traveling and finally rest on the other side. It is very similar to what you get when quick-flipping your finger across your kindle. You don't need to go all the way to the other side of the screen.

    I could give you one of my moist sensors. But I'm out. You can find them pretty cheap on Amazon.

    If I do too many things wrong than I could get killed, and it would kind of be like I killed myself since I took too many wrong turns so to speak. It has to do with ambi dexterity and also needing to follow some law of some kind, lets call it the natural law but I call it infinity. I have been trying to understand infinity.

    Yes, I want books to relax me for sure, however I also want to find out more pieces of the puzzle so that I can get through the book. Well see how it goes. I have not read a computer book in over a decade. This is not the worst way to go. I have a couple other hobbies, and my Spring and early Summer is busy outdoors. I live on an acreage and a Victorian.

    Actually if a book is relaxing, it also give me energy. If I can loosen up the stiff parts of my body, quite often it is the left side, than I have the energy to exercise and other powers such as not wanting to eat as much food.

    I wouldn't actually eat my books although if I wear all black than I start to talk like that. I have white on today.

    It'll be okay buddy, the comedown is almost always the worst part.

    Yes, I am waiting for Qt to come down to Windows (currently downloading it for Windows). I have a duel boot setup and I heard that Qt programs need to be compiled on different platforms. You can use the exact same project and source code but you need to recompile it for the other platform. I can test this out since I have both Windows and Linux on my laptop.

    After I suddenly was ambidexterous in just one day, I always have to be up and hardly ever down. That is why understanding that natural law is important, I guess. I still like womens underpants though...that never even changed.

    I was thinking more translation by a blind drunk/idiot.

    If so, it's odd that their bot is quite hung up about being ambidexterous.

    No one is drunk. I read a chapter from Programming with Qt by O'Reilly, covers at 3.0. I did not study GUI development but this looks strait forward. Each library object has its own header file. Only trouble so far is that I was not signed up with an account when I downloaded it for Ubunto so I now have to install the help files separately.

    Looks like O'Reilly also has video tutorials. By reading though I learned to declare objects on the heap instead of the stack, and how to connect component signal and slots between the Qobject widgets. Needed a mini preprocessor to provide that extra c++ functionality. Now this info might be the ancient past but you can't find out easily here, there is no Qt board here. Not totally sure where the problem solving code should be located in these GUI programs.

    It is easier to read with the hat. I'm a wizard.

    I used to drink but I started to come under attack by an organized crime group, this is after my brother was killed by a drunk driver and there was some legal settlement. I had to fight the planet. This battle is still happening. It is just a normal thing. Many have died so far, but my anger is now reduced and I don't care what happens because even after many victories against my enemies it doesn't appear to make any difference except that I am less angry at losing since the whole world shares major losses and people are just the same. I do not turn to evil because I can turn to a healthy option, I tried some evil and was never satisfied. I did more destruction than I could ever dream of being able to do but I am not celebrating because I am not evil right now, my heart is restful. I punished their God and I also was punished. He he he, it is no big deal to be the devil. I'm not trying to be bad. It is normal for me to think that way. Most people who say that might be trying to do evil things, but I am not like that, if there is something that does evil, it is my friend. It defends me and it can visit me. I don't understand that much yet. It sounds like you are asking me to call upon destruction but I am not angry. I also can not talk that way here. You would all cry out.
