  • Molten ice.

  • Now if only the military would turn on him in accordance with their oath to defend the constitution from domestic threats...

  • Hold up, orangutans are chill as fuck, don't do them dirty like that.

  • 'lol-butt-plug' aside, bass is as much about how it feels as how it sounds. I wonder if bass generation from a rectally inserted speaker would cause that booming/fluttering feeling you get in your chest at a concert.

    I mean... It's a testable hypothesis at least. For science!

  • IBM SK-8845 Ultranav USB keyboard

    IT'S GOT THE RUBBER MOUSE NIPPLE AND EVERYTHING! Fucking lol, that's amazing. I'm tempted to go that route just for pure nostalgia sake... I should probably avoid anything that's long-discontinued though, as I probably wouldn't be able to repair it if it stopped working, and then I'd be back at square one.

    Cherry MX Brown switches

    The actual post in the center of those is brown, right? I popped a key off, and the ones in mine are kind of a yellow-orange color like the Helios v2 ones you posted, but with a black housing. The noise they produce is pretty much entirely from the bottom of the keycap hitting plastic when it bottoms out (which is significantly dampened by rubber o-rings I added to it) and then another plastic-on-plastic sound on release... which maybe that is the components of the switch hitting itself? Most of the noise is from release. Slowly depressing a key until it bottoms out, then slowly releasing it so that all of the plastic-on-plastic collisions are super gentile, a keystroke makes virtually no noise.

  • Kind of intrigued by this option as well. My knee-jerk is that this is 100% outside of my skill level: I've never done any kind of real circuitry type stuff. Is there a for-dummies guide you're aware of that treats the reader like an absolute dumbass who needs adult supervision through the entire project? ...cuz that's what I'd probably need to not fuck this up. At the same time, I do kinda love the idea of making my own unique board!

  • I would bet dollars to donuts you would love something along these lines if you swapped out the standard keycaps with low profile ones.

    I've never even heard of magnetic switches. I'm intrigued! Trying to imagine the feel of spring pushing against a magnet, I think I you're right: that sounds like it would feel great! I'm going to hit a few local electronics stores to see if I can find one to try out - seems like an endcap-display kind of thing.

    Skimming that second link you posted, I see a few options on the keycaps, but none that say low profile. Would that be a 3rd party purchase thing, or am I overlooking something from Keychron?

    The magnetic switches themselves don't actually click, right? I pulled up some reviews and it still sounds clicky, but I'm guessing that's the plastic-on-plastic sound of the keycap hitting the post... so, does the rubber o-ring trick work with these to make it fairly silent?

    The Ornata also looks like a solid choice per my wishlist. I haven't had great luck with Razer - tbh, part of me's been looking forward to the Blackwidow finally breaking so I'd have an excuse to be done with them. But... a match is a match!

    Thanks for the feedback!

  • key roll-over

    I've heard people mention that issue with membranes. In a gaming context, the most I ever see myself hitting would be while sprinting diagonally (shift, W, A or D), jumping (space) and using an item or ability (1), for a total of 5 simultaneous key presses.

    ...is 5 within reason for the cheapies? ...and do any of them have supporting software that isn't shit? I had a Logitech gaming mouse a few years ago and writing macros on that trash was a nightmare.

  • Cheering for a traitor is traitorous. The traitor in question being the president doesn't mitigate that in the slightest - to the contrary, that's the most damaging traitor we could be cursed with.

  • More of a Darth Jar Jar. He can get away with as much evil as he wants so long as he plays a convincing enough dumbass while doing it.

  • Think a drone could get up above it and drop something into the propeller?

  • 2nd Amendment fanboys

    That was just cosplay.

    Where the actual fuck are all the active duty military personnel who all swore an oath to defend the constitution from all threats, foreign and domestic? They are literally oath-bound to engage Donald Trump the same way they do any other enemy of the United States.

    Do your fucking job already!

  • Bring some lube, too. Not all Marines prefer to consume them orally.

  • No instances, but I've blocked 868 communities so far. Either languages I don't understand or topics I'm not interested in... the vast majority of which being sports and anime/furry porn.

    I've found I don't really subscribe to communities to see a feed of just those. I'd rather see EVERYTHING and curate the feed reductively. Kinda seemed sisyphean at first, but my 'All' is fairly personalized now, so I'd recommend that approach to anyone who browses All frequently.

  • Availability is likely a factor here. House cats are everywhere, but professionally prepared cat meat is not. If it was in the cooler at your local walmart and priced comparably to beef, we'd see a lot more people eating cat. If the taste and texture are better than beef, we'd probably even start to see a market shift as more and more people start thinking of them as food instead of pets.

  • There was no mistake. The damage he's done to the US has been fully intentional. He's a domestic enemy of the US carrying out attacks on our nation, not just a clueless politician blundering his way from mishap to another.

  • ...that enormous library is called "YouTube videos".

  • I've resorted back to piracy, but mostly cuz my taste in music confuses the hell out of the algorithms: I'm a fan of symphonic metal, and seeding one of those songs as the start of a playlist on something like YT music will land you with a combination of heavy death metal and renaissance fair music.

    If I ever find one that can actually distinguish sub-genres of metal, then sign me the fuck up!!

  • Youtube Music is pretty much just youtube with a different UI - the videos are the same. The audio quality is whatever's uploaded, so it'll vary a lot song to song.
