I had to sit on the floor to invite cuddles, but he finally came in and is now resting on his stinky blanket. To be completely honest, he was only out like that for a few minutes, but bless his heart he was trying so hard. The fosters called him "Sergeant" because he was bossy and protective of his siblings.

At this point dealing with the predictable and polite asshole is easier than the unpredictable and rude one. Trump is making a diplomacy mess that will take decades to clean up, if ever.

The inverted T is god-damned masterpiece, regardless of where it's placed. Your middle finger is already longer than the others and naturally rests closer to the top edge of the down arrow, requiring a minimal amount of movement to get to the up arrow. This is why it outlasted cross-nav and various godawful clusters or shift-pairs like on early 8-bit home computers, and why it never faced a serious challenge from layout-complicating diamond-nav or "does it exactly backwards" T-nav. It's also more intuitive than 4-key linear nav, though fair play to you if your brain can make it work. I do tend to think that some folks make a commitment to staying on the home row that goes way beyond the strict needs of carpal tunnel health, but I'm a row-stagger heathen so take my thoughts for whatever they're worth.

If nothing else, and back in the Bush days it's pretty much all we had, they accept the possibility that they can lose elections. The bar is literally laying on the ground, yet MAGA still can't clear it.

drive through Lubbock

Well, yes. Lubbock is as Lubbock was. It is known.

Texas is a mess.

This is also true.

I've got a cold solder joint to fix in THIS handwire, but maybe it will do...

Well, I cheated. While I was in the middle of trying to learn how to properly set it up, somebody on the ZMK discord released ZMK Shield Wizard, which let me set the layout and get a repository with a properly compiling Github Action set up, despite my not being a coder in any meaningful sense of the word. Then all I had to do was figure out how to map the Japanese Duplex matrix that Yushakobo uses to work on ZMK's charlieplexing matrix-scanner (mostly trial and error). I understand you lose one of the killer features for battery life, but I was extremely pleased it worked at all. I flashed the ZMK Studio firmware file it built and "fixed" my layout there.

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.

 

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.
