Unless you have a major tech store around this might be easier said than done. Prior to getting my current personal keyboard (cherry red) I looked in the local bestbuy and staples. The only mech keyboards they had out to try had obnoxiously clicky blue switches (or Razer's proprietary copy thereof). No reds, never mind more niche options like brown, etc.

I am tired to press Shift keys and seeing sometimes I fail. This can come from the force I must make and for the fact stabilizers in that keyboard are terrible and long keys wobble a lot.
That's an interesting perspective, in the past when I've seen mention of using more than one switch type on a single board it was always in terms of putting higher force ones on the big keys to counter the weight of the keycap making them overall easier to press.

FWIIW: Some 3.5 years ago, I treated my arthritic hands to a ($$$) Kinesis Advantage 2 keyboard (refurbished). Took a lot of getting used to. It has mechanical switches, quiet but there is an electronic clicky sound thingie that can be turned on and off if such things matter. Fully programmable within the firmware so OS agnostic. Makes a difference to my hands and wrists but complicates going back and forth with my laptop on the road. I like it.

I can't use those because of the way I type. I never learned to type properly - I learned organically, but because of that, I don't transfer well to other layouts at all.

Has to have a palm / wrist rest. Currently using a Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro (2014). Looks like this one though mine has more "internet" buttons. I don't think I paid anything near $275.

One of my keycaps on an otherwise high quality keyboard is literally breaking. The c key has a physical pit worn through the top of it.
I need replaceable standard keycaps. I'm getting a keyboard with cherryMX browns. At this point I'll try the double mold keys and see if they hold up, but if nothing else I guess I will just replace my caps periodically.

So I'm trying to build out a simple Xamarin Forms demo.
I created a solution and added Entities, Repository, and Web API projects to it. Builds & runs with no issues.
Next I added a Xamarin Forms project to the solution called "Marois.Demos.Xamarin.Mobile" - and I get compilation errors about namespaces and files not found.
If I remove the word "Xamarin" from the name, the voila!! It builds and runs. I tried this a few different ways both in a stand alone solution and in the solution I already created. No matter what, it won't allow the word 'Xamarin' in the name.
Really strange.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

it might just be the C# compiler being confused by implicit file name?
try using fulling qualified type name wherever there is a compilation error, like global::Xamarin.Controls.Forms or global::Marois.Demos.Xamarin.Mobile.Box .

or I should say: what is the safe way to buy DOGE?
recently I need to buy a document that requires DOGE or BTC, which I prefer DOGE.
I have not used such digital coins to buy anything so far and need some advice in this community.

You want a safe way to pay someone who wants to remain anonymous? I guess they'll know you.

I use the RobinHood app / site[^].
It's a legit stock-buying site and app.
I actually bought Doge before anyone heard of it & got it for 0.008 (8/10 of a cent).
Anyways, you can buy many cryptocurrencies there.
I also bought some stock in RobinHood itself when it went IPO.
EDIT
Oh, you probably want to buy coins that you can use for transactions. not just invest.
To do that you'll need a cryptocurrency exchange like Coinbase.com or Binance.

can I buy DOGE from Robinhood?
Ledger.com has a device for physical wallet that is very neat.
I will store my DOGE in my own wallet.

Don't support puppy mills by buying dogs. You can get perfectly good free or low cost ones from your local shelter.

I understand you're joking, but the shelters around your place must be operating very differently than the ones around my place if you can get dogs from them for free or at a low cost. Seems to me they do everything to try to discourage people from getting them in the first place.

Most shelters and municipal animal facilities have learned to charge an adoption fee that's high enough it inhibits the dog fighters from 'adopting' them as bait animals.
In my neck of the woods, the fee is around $100.
