Hush!

And if they’d done the math wrong, they’d have landed among the stars.

The only thing I’ll say there is that with burgers you can sometimes get out over your skis and take a tumble. A lot of sit-down places think some giant watery meatball is a good burger. While photogenic, it is not necessarily good, and a short-order smashed patty or (smashed patties) generally taste a lot better and are easier to eat.

The best burgers are almost certainly not fast food burgers, but the worst burgers aren’t either.

I had to look it up too, but it was Victoria. She was great as a celebrity wrangler to make sure they understood the vibe and would roll with the weirdness. I’m not entirely sure we need a Victoria just yet either, LOL.

The [email protected] would be good, as would [email protected] or [email protected]. Also, I am going to gently push back on the idea that you have to make a new community because Reddit has a similar one. An AMA is not philosophically different from the posts on any of several other text-based-engagement communities. If AMA posts start to crowd out the “original” content, then a new /c is warranted, but we just fragmented everything after the APIpocalypse, and discoverability is still a pain requiring steps that shouldn’t be necessary if people just want to communicate.

Well, millers are historically thought of as corrupt. Can’t make ol’ Geoff Chaucer look like a liar.

You got your group buy going. Awesome.

GB Aluminum 40s are not quite my niche in the scene, but I’ve loved seeing your development process here, and I wish you the best of luck. Pop over to Keebtalk and post there if you haven’t. As long as you engage with the community, the occasional promotional post seems to be fine.

Just FYI, this is what I did. Maybe I’ll change it later, but it fit the vibe for a big dumb button on a computer keyboard perfectly.

If that $200 is for the barebones kit, then the QK100 would be right up your alley. It’s an1800/96% style but leaves a full-size numpad zero. It also has a ton of options, including a wired hotswap PCB and choice of FR4 or PC plates, among others.

Budget and preferred layout will play into this a lot, but generally these days it’s not too hard to find wired-only and hot-swap. Anything else you can tell us?

You don’t?!?!?

No current keyboards with a knob (next one, though…). That said, my goofy little Class D amp has a wide flat volume knob mounted on the top instead of the front, so yes, OP, I know the feeling.

Good thinking. I dual boot. Maybe just to be safe I should also have it run an elevated privilege command prompt and run del C:\Windows as well.

Yes. I’ll set up the Fn key and right Alt key to be spacebars as well, unless I’m holding them down. It ends up working well, I get extra keys, and I don’t have to deal with fiddly stabilizer assemblies for long keys. A few other keys are also shortened or split into two.

Menu just does what menu always has, pulls up the equivalent of the right-click menu with a single press. I guess I could repurpose it for Copilot, LOL.

I like to make these boards with short keys both to pack more buttons in, and so none of them need stabilizer assemblies, which add complexity and have to be “just so” to work without negatively affecting sound or feel. I’ve also discovered “Hold-Tap” functionality, which I’m using on the bottom row. The two mini-space bars, plus Function and Right Alt are all spacebars if you tap them, but the Fn and RAlt do their labeled job if I hold them down. Even just making them all a touch bigger than normal (i.e. “1.25 units”) is good enough to keep me from hitting more than one at a time.

This is the kind of low hanging fruit I’m after. Why do two Enter keys when THREE Enter keys is 50% more?!?!!

The yellow part is actually stacked on top of an identical laser-cut plate that’s painted black. I need two for the right height, and I could change without too much work, but the yellow one felt more fun for this board, which is entirely unnecessary and verging on meme territory.

Was legitimately thinking Win+L to lock Windows or Kubuntu.

I do still have the 3D printed flywheel assembly I made last year…
