I really like projects like that. Another way of getting to similar results without hardware hacking is via using midi controllers combined with software to translate midi messages to keystrokes (and/or macros).

If something simply doesn’t exist, how reasonable is it to assume that it could exist? How am I supposed to differentiate the statement that something could exist from fairytales?

by noizejoy 6y ago
I thought it was explained. Local gravity is moving things together much faster than general expansion is moving them apart. At super super long distances, gravity is weaker than expansion, so something very far is disappearing while someth

A no-reply email is more honest, when you don’t have the resources to deal with a high number of replies in a timely fashion. An emergency notice as well as a really good sale could be such a situation. Both are good for your customers to k

The Berlin Wall was also marketed by the old DDR government as keeping the bad guys out, when in reality it was to keep their own citizens from fleeing to the west. “Mr. Cook - tear down this wall!” :-)
