Adding/Including Memories
I lost my dad last year (2023) and have been finding ways to include keepsakes/memories in my workstation. I've dabbled here and there with doing small woodworking projects and attempted a wrist rest from a piece of oak I picked up with him from my great uncles wood shop. I milled it to fit a 60% keyboard as I hadn't decided what keyboard I would be using it on and thought that's where most of my wrist would be in contact even typing on a full keyboard. I gave it a torched/burn appearance as I really was lost in what to do. I found an old shell casing from going hunting with my dad in my hunting pack and decided to imbed it into the end of the wrist rest so it would just have a little difference and a small story behind it as well. I have other things around my workstation from family and friends, but it just feels a little more special having worked on it and adding something small that has a memory for me to it. (Purple was my grandmothers favorite color and I have kinda now...

so, here is an interesting page:
https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/1vy3qe/how_many_frames_per_second_can_the_eye_see/
It's reddit, so obviously take it with a grain of salt, but the first poster has some serious credentials. I think if you were gonna lie on the internet, it would be about your dick size, not the number of still frames a second a fighter pilot can see! (255, btw...the study showed that trained pilots were able to discern details from an image shown to them for 1/255th of a second)
I think 1000 is really on the high side...but remember too, with monitors you get a new problem: the X times a second the monitor refreshes is not guaranteed to be the same X times a second the GPU renders a frame. the higher the refresh rate of the monitor, the more likely the two are to land together (or adjacent, at least).
I have a feeling freesync, gsync, and all these other things are solving that problem, but I haven't had a chance to look into it. I will do my research this week, but if anybody wants to give me a quick correction or crash course, I'm down for that too!
I honestly don't know a lot about the practical differences, either for normal viewing or competitive gaming. I would hold out to see what others with more experience in the matter have to say.
