Thanks! My keycaps there are just Matcha clones from Ali Express, and I made the board myself from my 3D printer and a board of maple hard-wood that I had around.

I wired the switches to the Rasperry Pi Pico by hand. It is a little bit tall for a Planck, maybe 35mm with full-height keycaps, and to be honest I found I just prefer more keys and a regular column stagger, but I am fairly pleased at how the extra three keys make the layout easier for an "ortho noob".

Those only detect actual cancer. Getting the butt probe can also find ulcers and pre-cancerous polyps.

"TKL like". This one actually has a couple of siblings because it was not much more expensive to order extra aluminum plates.

"FRL compact 1800"

"No stabs battleship"

On the same note, going to the cinema alone or eating out alone. If you want to go with someone and can't find anyone, that's sad, but I only bother with a movie ticket these days when it's something I really want to let soak in. That works just as well alone, if not better, and my family doesn't have the same taste in movies as me. For eating alone, it could get old if it were all the time, but sometimes just a book and me and some food that's better than I could easily manage, it's really nice.

The pace of American football is utter shit, and I think it relies too much on in-game coaching, but the actual strategy and feats of athleticism are equally impressive to any other version and have their own charm, but none of it is important enough for me to tell anyone they have to give it a try.

More or less, yes. When the circuits are in agreement, it's still not binding on SCOTUS, but traditionally it's been powerfully persuasive. If they can get a similar ruling out of the 5th or 11th, then even for this court it's likely game over, eventually. The gross thing is the cruelty and uncertainty of the Trumpian attitude towards the rule of law, which is simply, "I know what it says. Fuck it. Make 'em sue me." It's in bad faith and erodes the simple, predictable functioning of government, to say nothing of, y'know, being directed towards evil ends.

SCOTUS is very conservative and increasingly activist about it, but Roberts in particular doesn't like being dragged through the political mud and he can usually prevail upon Kavanaugh or Barrett to be less crazy for a day. Roe was a special case in that it extended the legal idea of the "penumbra," which was by definition fuzzy, and I learned about attacks on the idea over twenty years ago, so the Democrats bear a certain amount of blame for not spending some political capital at some point to ensconce it in statute, if not in an Amendment (which admittedly may have been a bridge too far). It was always a bit fragile. RBG also did her legacy no favors by being short-sighted about how her successor would be selected.

Anyway, all the "But dis iz whut it sez!" reasoning from the Second Amendment cases mostly works against MAGA here. The idea that you're not subject to America's laws because you broke one of them when entering the country is pretty absurd, and that concept only works in a context of international law. It was meant for Diplomats and their families with immunity, and for Female troops or officially-employed camp followers of another nation's invading army (operating on the assumption here that "traditional" war pregnancies will involve mothers who are subject to the jurisdiction of the US) - also Native Americans, but we "fixed" that in 1924 at least. There was no significant bar to immigration at the federal level when the 14th amendment was drafted, but super racist senators explicitly whined that Chinese immigrants' kids would become citizens, and others said, "Yeah? And?" Add in various court decisions over the decades since that have clarified who is and isn't subject to jurisdiction, and it should be a settled question. There's a dissent here and there, and an occasional whinge from the right, but there is very little for an "Originalist" court to complain about here, at least legitimately.

Yeah, it’s just an administrative and “marketing” question. You would never want to harm a community that’s doing well. One just sort of wishes that the reddit refugees (myself included) had been a bit more thoughtful in how the Fediverse world work most efficiently at the size it is.

I like the analogy that it’s a small and slightly isolated town, but one where people are pretty friendly. There’s plenty of people to talk to, but the only issue is, say, if you wanna talk sports you may need to find the couple of folks at the coffee shop who actually like sports and hang out with them whether they’re talking about your favorite team or not. There’s the Linux factory in town, though, and most of us have at least a passing interest in the goings-on there. 🤣

Yeah, and it’s certainly not anything wrong that the users and mods did in creating the communities that did gain traction. Just one of the unique challenges of setting up shop here.

Dedicated comms should be popping off of more general ones like so many Mogwai spores, but things happened differently and it is what it is.

I maintain that we need to be funneling engagement into fewer communities. I mod !cad@lemmy.world but I probably shouldn’t. It should probably be co-located with a 3D printing community, but the name makes anybody doing subtractive or 2D feel excluded.

In a perfect world, maybe there’d be a “Makers” community that was, sure, 70% 3D printing, but the other 30% wouldn’t feel like they needed to leave and shout into a void, and people into 3D printing would get to see cool shit done with other tools.

The APIpocalypse resulted in a land grab followed immediately by “Wagons East!” back to Reddit by many of the new mods, leaving us with every named neighborhood we might want, yet feeling Balkanized because you feel like you should respect the communities’ boundaries, but there isn’t anyone there in the “perfect” one and likely won’t be for some time.

I’m guessing… Corne?

If they got pissed off enough, I bet you were glad you had it.

I'll use this to drop a link to one of my favorite podcasts, which is where I first learned about these horns. The host is a Kiwi who either just defended his PhD or is about to, so he's an actual Egyptologist. He's also a dork and a gamer.

It probably helps that it was modern horn players playing a fanfare that sounded more or less "right" to them, but ultimately, as has been said elsewhere, it's a metal tube you make a fart noise into.

Dude... ANY job.

There are people who daily the real thing, with 47 or 48 keys. I couldn't do it, even with this one visually preserving more of the "standard" layout. Turned out I liked building boards more than learning to use them.

I made a lot of my own boards, and the three I use the most are:

• One that's basically a "Tenkeyless", but I keep an external numpad nearby.
• One that has a numpad but everything's kind of compressed and I use "Fn+number" to get the F keys. That one has a speck of UV resin on down-arrow so I can find it without looking.
• One that is still a bit compact in layout, but has 117 keys, including a big red industrial pushbutton and a volume knob.

As fond as I am of this little guy, I just don't use it very often.

Even though I didn’t quite fall in love with the general idea of ortho, I’m still pretty pleased with myself. Bigger enter, proper arrow keys, and no missing punctuation. Good compromise for a bit of extra pinky movement, and no reason you couldn’t just map it out as a as normal Planck with a trio of media keys or macros.

So this board is on odd beast. It was designed in-house at System 76, kind of before keyboards blew up (to the limited extent they have) as a hobby. It came out, I want to say during or soon after the pandemic, and it was not very well received, prompting some prickly feedback from the designer. It is pretty idiosyncratic, and messes around with key widths in order to (best I can tell) maximize the flexibility of the layout with the one set of keycaps it comes with.

Unfortunately, that means you end up with a lot of quirky choices and very bad aftermarket keycap support, and at least partially in pursuit of a market that is full of people who will happily ignore the legends on their keycaps. Some of the design choices also haven't aged as well for attracting an audience to a premium board, like XDA (they'd have probably gone KAM or something low-profile if they were doing it today), and the exposed switches. None of which is to imply you shouldn't enjoy your board. This hobby is supposed to be about personal preference, but it can tend towards the samey-samey, and at least the S76 boards are a big swing.

As for Yushakobo, I visited around Christmas and posted my build on Lemmy. Awesome little shop.

I've had a scalp biopsy before. The specific spot they cut will have a scar and if it's a large area and you keep your hair extremely short, then you might be able to spot the specific spot, but generally speaking, no. It won't case hair loss. I honestly don't even remember where they cut me. They should also give you a little shot of numbing agent, so it shouldn't hurt much at all during and then afterwards it's just like any other incision.

No biggie, and generally always well worth it if your doctor thinks they seem something worth cutting off.
