Are there use-cases where a touch screen laptop is really useful?

I can see the case for the laptops which can flip the screen around to act as a chunky tablet, but for a normal laptop form factor I have a hard time imagining how or why I would use the touch screen.

I’m sure I’m missing something…

    Sometimes when browsing the “All” feed, I will come across a post and recognize that I definitely do not want to see posts from its community in the future.

    It would be nice if “Block Community” was added as an option from the “more” (…) button in each post of the feed view.

    Unless I am missing a simpler way to block a community from the feed view which doesn’t involve navigating to the community feed in question and then choosing “block community” from there…

    I have an antique desk which has three locks and a single key.

    My key continues to work for one of the locks, but when inserted into the other two lock key ways, the key will not turn in either direction (will basically wiggle a millimeter or so in either direction, but does not start to actually turn).

    I am a very amateurish lock picker—I can rake a basic lock or use a snap gun, but this lever/mortise lock is very different from anything I have tried to pick before.

    I should mention that I used the working lock to confirm that the key fully inserts into the other two locks before attempting to turn the key.

    I’ve tried looking up tools for picking this lock and watched some YouTube videos.

    I am curious if anyone with experience picking this sort of lock might offer some advice on tools to get or improvise.

    I’m including a photo of the key to help identify what might be needed.

    Any advice is appreciated.
