My tea got spilled on my laptop shortly after quarantine began (thanks, cat!). It was in a lidded cup, but Murphy’s law was cruel that day. Thankfully, drying it off immediately, then turning the laptop in every direction to let what had gotten inside drip out seems to have salvaged the situation. My workspace is now arranged so that can’t happen ever again.
For all those people who think that a double shot of espresso will give them that added caffeine jolt, I have news for them. A regular cup of black coffee contains more caffeine than your espresso! According to Mayo Clinic, eight ounces of brewed coffee contains 95-165 milligrams of caffeine. That’s about 12-21 milligrams per ounce. Espresso, on the other hand, has 47-64 milligrams of caffeine per ounce. Espresso is more concentrated.
We had a small family owned answering service. There were always two spare keyboards in reach. Between my wife dumping coffee and pregnant daughter tossing her cookies it was our biggest IT expense
When my oldest grandson was little, he decided he’d help his mom out with the house cleaning. He started by spraying Fabreeze all over her computer keys…

I guess that coffee gave the keyboard the jitters?

I always worry that if I spill my Nuclear Coffee on the keyboard, it will gain sentience and try to hack the Pentagon or something
