I have a laptop with sticky keys (slurpee accident). I used a clean hair tinting brush dipped into plain water and shaken to remove most of the water to brush under the keys. After a few times of that and letting it dry, the keys were almost completely unstickied.
these keys are pretty easy to take off and put back on, so i've done that twice to clean them. still really sticky :( I think it's inside the main case of the keyboard or whatever

I don't think I have ever seen a toilet where the back is that far from the seat. Got to lean way back to get some back support lol.
so this kind of makes me shudder because when you flush there's all kinds of particles splashing on the inside of the lid and now it's on your back
edit: i mean it can't really be helped other than cleaning it but yeah I try not to think about it lol

If its a laptop might be worth it to go on ebay and see if you can find a keyboard and just replace the whole thing. I have had to do this for a few friends and family laptops

I don't "lean back" on the toilet, but I would imagine that the toilet seat cover itself would still sit somewhat further forward, and provide a backrest...but I just can't imagine laying back on the toilet seat cover while sitting on the toilet.

I liked MTC better when it was a little too sexy...better than all of the toilet talk lol!

nah it's just a desktop keyboard. I have 2 and I switch between them when I spill something on them. the last round of coffee kind of screwed this one up I guess

New keyboard + keyboard protector time! Or maybe you can just wash it after taking out the circuit board.

I destroyed a new laptop that way once. I cried. It was under warranty but not for human stupidity so I knew better than to ask. But one morning I got out of bed and decided to do something about it. I called the company that made it and told them what happened hoping they would at least help me get it fixed. I told them I knew it was my fault and they didn't have to do anything. She put me on hold, came back and said they were fixing it completely under some customer something or another. I cried again and called my son first because he knew where to take it to get it fixed under this particular warranty and I think he was amazed I actually managed to do something on my own and be successful at it. I think I just got lucky.

Yeah, but it's not the same now that it isn't condoned :confused:
The main thing is that we just have to consider that people might be viewing the forum from work, or they might have children in the room, or whatever. A few innuendos here and there can make for a fun forum, but when it starts to become graphic or excessive, we have to kinda draw a line. And it's not something new. It is a rule that we've always enforced, and as we've noticed the forum starting to drift back towards graphic and excessive lately, we just think a reminder is due.
