Like with most of my stuff, I’m just trying to make it not so incongruously crude that it actively detracts from the caps, but thank you. I considered just standoffs and a bottom plate, but I thought I could use their files to work up something a little nicer than that, though the full acrylic cases they sell are better. Totally cool little store, too.

Some of it still with the PMK branding. Nice.

How is G20 to type on?

I’ve allayed liked that the idea that if you say no to a suggestion in this situation, it is now your turn to suggest something.

Not my best work.

I haven’t played with vanilla Debian in forever, but if there’s a good “Software Center” style overlay to the package manager, I bet he could find some good stuff on his own. The “Discover” app in Ubuntu actually categorizes the games by genre. Pingus, Minesweeper clones, Sokoban clones, Poker, Chess, Checkers, Go, Reversi.

In the chair, daddy-o!

That goes all the way back to the original Cherry G80-1800 boards in the (iirc) late 80s. The idea is to get a more compact layout that preserves some of the advantages brought in by the IBM Model M to make it easier for your hands to find the arrows without looking down. Shifting them down a touch with the gaps to the left and right leaves that trait in place no matter where your hands are coming from.

There are “96%” boards that will keep everything tight-in. I have tried it both ways, and all else being equal I tend to prefer a gap, but some other tactile reference (I sometimes use a single dot of UV resin on the down arrow) will generally be good enough.

Sure, but only if you then commit to send them in the next 6-36 months and pinky promise in a Discord server that you’re gonna get to it as soon as you work through the trauma of losing your goldfish.

Fair. She would never. She’s not that guy.

But I am that guy, and I have a favorite ethereal new-agey soprano. 😂

Don’t forget Angel From Montgomery. John Prine sure didn’t sound like Emmylou, but he somehow wrote just as poignant a song about being a woman, even if its tragedy was smaller.

I have done this, except legitimately, for my wife. She texted me in advance, because Chipotle is Chipotle. People know what they want when they play the “initially fresh ingredients, maintained and prepared by teenagers” salmonella lottery.

Our intrepid overeater here could have just looked down a few times and got the same benefits.

I have to assume the MT3 versions are selling better. DCD just strikes me as mid stuff (not a problem for me at the right price point. I almost exclusively buy “mid” stuff), dye-sub PBT Cherry that you could get direct from China instead of paying Drop a premium for the privilege.

sounds was so bad with these caps

Oh yes. That must have been difficult. Send me the whole set, and I’ll ensure they’re disposed of properly. 🤣

More seriously, if tall and ABS didn’t work, maybe shorter (i.e. Cherry variants, DSA, the new PBS) and PBT will be better for you.

1. Sad music when you’re sad is, ironically, a way to feel better, or at least to feel safer. In those moments, feeling like you’re psychically alone is devastating, and music that reminds you that other people have felt like you do is a tether to connect you to people when you’re at your lowest.
2. Loreena McKennitt is superior to Enya.
3. Neither of them wrote the world’s saddest song. A redneck from Bandera, Texas wrote the world’s saddest song. Sorry for the Spotify link.

Dominus, his stabs lubed.

Kudos to them for getting another product out, but these features are fairly low effort, so a lot will depend on the execution and price-point. The 8Bitdo is probably a good base to start from with the “keyboard as lifestyle brand” thing, then adjust up or down based on materials and build quality.

OLED screens and fully programmable firmware are both very common in the custom and semi-custom space, and together they could easily mimic the layout and the counter functionality. Custom dye-sub keycaps are also a thing. None of this is to say there’s no value-add in packaging it up with their brand’s aesthetic, but the value proposition is usually not there for those who’ve already invested effort into the keyboard space.

Not even there. DoD is ~$840B and DHS another sixty. Not even one trillion in the entire US security apparatus, but they were going to so easily find twice that. It was always pure nonsense.

I’m pretty basic. I liked The Ghosts That Haunt Me and God Shuffled His Feet the best, and unironically enjoy almost every single track on both albums. Once they started drifting away from that wry and/or jaunty folk-pop-rock, I wasn’t as interested, but I can appreciate that Brad in particular wanted to explore other ground and give his lyrical notions more space to breathe.

My first purchase CD was Kenny Fuckin’ G. Sigh. Still, some pretty melodies I guess, and that’s not all bad.

Started improving right away by moving on to a lot of John Williams soundtracks and Weird Al. Then a lot of Classic Rock “best of” albums, including some Southern and Southern-inflected ones (CCR!). Start to fold in some folk music from the British Isles and sellout former college-rock bands (Crash Test Dummies’ first two major-label albums are actually good. Fight me!).

Add one English degree from a southern university and a move to Texas after a leftward political swing during law school (seriously you guys, nothing like seeing how the sausage is made to understand that while important and not without a certain rigor, the law is fucked up and EVERY judge is an activist judge, so you just need to do the right thing), and blammo, you get a dude who is way more into artsy fartsy “Americana” alt-country than your average Lemmy user. Now I want to listen to some Isbell before I go to bed. Good night y’all.
