If you’re talking about the tucked-in arrow keys, you’d be surprised how quickly you adapt. I’ve gotten so used to it that the more spaced-out configuration feels unnatural to me at this point. I don’t think I’m alone, as I’m seeing this layout more and more.

Give it a try (maybe not on something as expensive as this is!) Maybe you’ll like it and it’ll open up more options for you.

What’s always maddening about this is we tend to do a kind of communal thing in our household where we all connect to the smart TV and stream short little videos.

But shorts won’t stream. So you’ll see one, want to share it with the group, and be completely unable to do so. Why they are restricted that way I have no idea.

Oh man, I’m so excited. I really enjoyed this book when I read it a couple years ago, and I know the narration will only improve it. It’s a fun read.

Looks nice! I’m working on a Lily58 but once I’m done burning my fingers on that I’ll definitely be looking into this.

I have an ortholinear kit I built but it’s caseless so it’s not suuuper portable. Which Planck do you recommend? I’d be willing to give a 40% a try even if it’s not for this trip. I’m okay with soldering if it’s a kit and/or there’s decent instructions.

Thanks for the recommendation! I’ve been putting off a travel keyboard for a while now, this time I’m actually planning ahead so I have plenty of time to mod. I’ll look into the mint switches and see what they’ve got in stock. (Ah, the classic struggle.)

This was just so sad to read about when it happened. I felt bad for the intern: one arguably small mistake led to such terrible consequences. I felt really bad for Hickam too; he tried to help the intern but I don’t know what came of it.

I’ve always wanted to learn skateboard but at 40+ it seemed like a really dumb hobby to start, given that you spend more time falling at first than you do on the board.
