Back when I was losing weight, I was fueled by caffeine, anxiety, and aspartame, so this checks out with my own experience. 270 to 180, sitting now around 205. I did mostly cardio back then, but now lift weights. Switching to 0-calorie drin

The only reason I'm upset is that I typically fatten my stacks within the first week of the month, when my budget resets. It feels like it takes a few days for shit to hit the fan.

Morrowind's combat is likened to dice rolls, until you get to a high enough skill to reliably hit. Ranged combat is the worst, since you can see an arrow physically connect but not have effect. Once I got my axe skill boosted to high h

~300mg all at once is a recipe for a bad time, for me. I'd rather drink 2 Monsters (0-cal, 140mg caff each) than 1 Bang, and space them out further. But I'll have a C4 once in a blue moon, if I plan to hit the gym very soon after.

Mt Augusta was a little before my time. By the time I got into the server, it honestly felt like one of the most difficult places to get settled into. Crowded, property costs too high, chaotic. Dirty Ancaps everywhere. </s> I&#x2

Many modern AAA titles have day-one patches, and with some games pivoting to a 'Live Services' model, additional content is often put on an arbitrary 'roadmap'. If it was all executed well, it would be fine. The problem

I used a 50% (Preonic, so 5x12 1u keys, with an option to use a 2u spacebar by sacrificing a slot on the bottom row) for a while, so: The switches felt great to use (chosen myself), the keycaps were still easily customizable to an office-ap

I remember the 'US electrical socket with no ground pin' shaped stem form the V1s, and thought it was a shame that it was so hard to source keycaps for them. I never tried more than some loose switches I got on sale, since, you kn

Small correction to myself, but they're Kailh Chocs with an MX-compatible stem: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/logitech-mx-mechanical-... But, they should be vaguely similar in feel. If you're looking f

While they have made their own switches in the past, these look exactly like premade switches. I don't feel that the model numbers serve to help identify the actual switch. I can't tell between Choc V2s, or Cherry MX Low-Profile,

The page says nothing about which make/model switches are used. Tactile/clicky/linear can be said about any switch manufacturer's offerings.

I didn't know about the choc V2s until today, thanks! A shame that there might be fitment issues.

It looks like it uses Cherry's low-profile switches, so if you're looking for switch reviews, there's your keyword.

I have one of their MX Vertical mice connected to my phone, laptop, and desktop, and can switch between the pairings with the hardware button on the bottom. If I was traveling a lot, I'd probably consider this as a good option to have

It's about space savings. 1.75u width shift is considered a 'standard nonstandard' size for a compact keyboard, and it's generally worth the squeeze for the extra full-size 1u key.

by gigaflop 4y ago
They don't tell you what the actual switches are on the page, but they look like Cherry's low-profile switches, which will hopefully mean that the keycaps can be customized. Taller keycaps like SA or MT3 profile might not be great

This game is probably one of the reasons I still play games today. Until it, I'd only been able to play some RTS games and Zoo Tycoon, and nothing else offered me as much flexibility and immersion, especially without an internet connec

You're the one replier so far to who I must say, larger, but not by too much. 1 or 2 beer bottles of size is what I was thinking of.

Oh, that's much larger than I was thinking of. I was thinking somewhere on low-single-digit-km range, and probably sized to where carbon fiber + aluminum are still the best choices for the frame materials. Roughly, the size of 2 beer

I can imagine a semi-disposable drone-like device being used for fast and cheap reconnaissance. If cost of something with a camera and rough lidar can be brought to $200, then why not turn it into a 'consumable' item that can be d

You can 100% create and manage your own wallets on your own hardware. However, most exchanges have transfer fees, on top of whatever costs are incurred on the network by the transfer. And, if you want to sell on an exchange, you likely need
