that was my thought as well. I assume most of them to be duds. hell, the relabeled Chinese hand-me-downs the Russians are using don’t work either.

I will never get over the absurdity of seeing a Confederate flag on a house in Ohio.
As an Ohioan, anything outside of the major metros is basically the south.
What could be more American than making merchandise to amplify a historic event?
Lot of good points here. I work in electronics manufacturing so I’ll add on a bit. Yes, much of what has been explained about solder and flux is correct. I will caution about trying something like conformal coating a board in this setting. It is hard to work through and can beat up your iron. Lead free is great but sucks for working it into the joints. It just doesn’t heatt the same. Even IPC build standards have explicit instructions about visual inspections of non leaded joints looking like shit.
If you are planning to coat the board, I would do outdoors as well. Extraction fans are great for general soldering but we use fume hoods for conformal coat. Just something to keep in mind.
I really would love to even test drive the keys or the layout but the price point is just absurd for these things. Anyone have a suggestion for someone wanting to jump into the ergo keyboard game?
The oblong dingus in the middle…
Hey! I never get name dropped. That’s neat. Really great write up. This thing sounds bonkers and I love your word choices. Always a highlight of my day.
I did the same jump, the same way last year. I’m still daily driving Pop_OS! After a year. I went through much the same way when I can over from windows with program placement. Welcome to the club.
So a rich guy who can put on a mask and beat up the poor while advancing the arms race with criminals becoming more unhinged or a guy whose family was murdered and starts turning to vigilante justice and became what every cop wet dreams that they actually are?
…Sure. That’ll help. /s
I have this on a platter hard drive somewhere. Oh how I’ve missed you old friend.
Corrected. Lol thanks.
Thanks for the assist.
That is a fun fact. A personal fun fact is I remember that the Secret Service is part of the Treasury department because of the cult classic, Wild Wild West.
Edit: spell check
If the Secret Service existed when Andrew Jackson was the President, we would already have had this figured out.
Quality systems or management cause I’m both and do all the time?
Ahem, the right to manbearpig. Whatever that means…
I agree with your point here but, being the 12 year old I am, here’s the meme.
The crux of the issue, in my opinion, comes down to those who have been victimized before. Without painting with too broad a brush, men like myself, have a had time viewing the question in the same lens. We don’t experience victimization in the same rates or as the omni-present threat that is learned via experience or indoctrination by others who have been victimized. Its a form of dog whistle men cannot normally hear. I dont choose the word dog whistle for the emotional impact but the base idea of the concept. We arent aware because that sense iant built up over time. That’s why its important for all those who are victimized that aren’t middle class white women to speak up. I know many do and they are ignored but we dont have to be that way. Dispelling that notion requires stories that don’t fit that narrative to blow out the mold and make use reckon with the reality.
Hey. This a great write-up. I used to carry a cheap pocket knife for years but fell out of practice. Your breakdown got me back into the habit and I picked up this knife. Can’t wait to see how it performs!
this feels like its out of Where the Sidewalk Enda by Shel Silverstein
