This is pretty much what I said to my wife while scritching my dogs. First it'll just be expanded to missing kids and olds, because of course everyone wants to reunite families, but eventually it'll be something that "law enforcement" can request for whatever the hell they want, because after all they're the good guys keeping us safe!

Certainly NOT Dead Like Me. Still salty about that one.

Serenity and Star Trek as others have said are proabbly my actual favorites. The original Naked Gun movies were based on the short-lived Police Squad show and are as close to maintaining continuity as anything ZAZ could be. Then, the original Transformers animated movie gets more credit than it deserves due to nostalgia and not being a Michael Bay mess, but it had no business being even as good as it was.

 

DIY 3D printed case for the Yushakobo Primer61 PCB I got in Japan over the holidays. I didn't buy one of their BLE Pro Micro boards, but had a Nice!Nano clone, so I learned just enough ZMK to port it over and use it wirelessly. More HERE. Not my cleanest print, but I'm happy, and pretty stoked I didn't set it on fire trying to use an unsupported MCU with a wireless firmware.

But, and here me out, it's also wicked cool.

Ours is more stick-shaped though, and really only good for candle wicks. If we smoked, you might be able to get a cigarette into the arc. It'd probably also work well if your grill's or gas stove's spark iginter was broken.

All with full 40s sets?

Oh, God no. Sorry! Mostly they're on more normie boards, but the Mitospeed being R3 and full of nonsense legends would go well on a 40 or 40-adjacent.

I've reluctantly come to realize that I just don't like the feel of Cherry all that much. I prefer DCS if I'm going to go cylindrical. The sharp edges on Cherry are just all wrong for my poor typing technique.

I got Tatooine, Oblivion (Hagoromo), Laser, and Mitospeed for some pretty steep discounts, as well as the DSS Honeywell from PrimeKB. My options for cheap but unused SP are quickly drying up though, lol.

Funny enough, the board I come back to most often is the first one I did on the no-stabs PCB (minimum order quanity is a burden to us all!), which has semi-sculpted Akko SA on it.

SA Teletype is such a pretty set, and I really like SA R3, and the designer seems like a good guy. It was the one time I was seriously tempted to pay full price for "name brand" keycaps. I don't even use 40s, but I had a layout rigged to adapt an existing no-stabs FRL 1800 PCB I designed a while back.

Why do you think Starfleet had to set that up in the first place? You think they WANT a huge network of oversized saltwater-flooded Jeffries tubes running alongside the constantly infiltrated and poorly electrically insulated normal ones?

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Interesting. These say they're from Mexico. It would be pretty underwhelming if there's a blander variety.

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

But the tart ones are the good ones.

Raspberry for me, though I'm not sure if it's fully artificial or "just" ultra-processed. It's also partly because I like that flavor but I'm mildly allergic and about 25% of the time I eat it, my lip swells a bit, so I try to minimize how often I have it.

Fair enough if that's what you think, but I've played them all, going back to 1 and 2 on computers where I had to check the system requirements, and I find the show to be very watchable and fun. Have you given it a chance?

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Yeah, I don't know what they're on about. I was just doing a replay of F:NV, and the Strip and Freeside sets alone are enough to satisfy most of your fan service needs. There were little nods to the lore and game mechanics all over the place in both seasons, to the point where I actually got pulled out of the story a couple of times.

I get why they didn't focus on feral ghouls, because this isn't The Walking Dead, but...

spoilerThey are there, and Cooper in particular does drugs specifically to avoid going feral.

 

I've printed up 7 of these, plus I have a lid and one less-satisfying prototype from my diode laser. They fit in the footprint of a sheet of US Letter paper, hold a little over a TKL's worth of keycaps, and use about 1/6 of a 1kg roll of filament, so maybe USD $3 per try with the cheap PLA I always buy.

 

Made this a few years ago myself. Mostly with my Shopsmith, since we were about to move and I’d sold most of the other tools. Floating tenon (DIY domino, basically) on the joint.

 
 
 
 

Fun to see/hear something from before the hobby blew up, but after Model M's were "retro."

 

Can't be a terrible person if you don't also make the playoff.

AAANNNDD… he got arrested. Holy poop.

 

I had spare PCBs left over from an earlier project. I got the Signature Plastics DSS Honeywell keycaps on sale from a vendor who was closing down. I made the plate design using online tools, then cut it and the bottom plate on my home laser. I designed the 3D-printed case to look like the original terminal keyboards that inspired the keycaps. I used black switches because a heavy linear feels right for something like this. Firmware is QMK/VIAL. More info here. There's much that could be better, but I'm pleased with how it came out.
