I'm confused. You bought a keyboard that doesn't come with keys?

It's a whoooole ass hobby that I wasn't aware of - custom keyboard building and assembly. From the frames, keys, switches and everything. All totally customizable to your typing, feel and style. One of my best friends has been in it for a few years and she finally convinced me (kinda) just to try one out.

I didn't really know what I was getting myself into, admittedly.

GFCI (ground fault circuit interruptor) for those of us in parts of the world with wimpy 120V electrical outlets for our mains (sic) power.....

Just refilled the tub with fresh water and the light went out, tested the six year old RCD and it was done.

i was big into keyboards a while ago, still have my pristine model m. i personally peaked when i spent $350 on a hhkb bluetooth and probably more than that just on the keyset and a two-color clickclack skull lmao

currently using a microsoft wireless desktop 850 at work, and a logitech g613 at home

I picked up a Sony a7C to add to the bag. It's about the size of my A6500 but full-frame and newer technology. It is a great compliment to my larger bodies I use for video documentaries.

Such a great line of cameras. Love it.

DenverSteve · 12-23-2021, 01:21 PM

They are something special. After 30 years as a CPS pro, I finished a travel piece on Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley after climbing Huayna Picchu - exhausted. I started looking at everything on the market that could save me weight and maintain IQ. I had only used Sony ENG cameras previously and was blown away with the total quality package Sony provides in a smaller/lighter package. I purchased one body and a few lenses for extensive testing and switched completely. Everyone should use what they find the best for them but for my work, and pleasure, Sony is the total package.

LOL. I am so confused.

This must be what non-car people feel like when someone tells them their hobby is something non-car people view as an appliance.

Picked up some new smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.. one of the old ones started to chirp as an end of life alarm. Checked the expiration dates and they were all due soon.

Stay safe out there!

Just installed our CO detectors a month or so ago when we started using the heat again. The furnaces are the only source of CO in the house, so there was no need for them earlier.

We have smoke/heat detectors hard wired in. The heat detector is waaaay too sensitive and goes off every freakin' time we open the oven when we're cooking. The detector is on the ceiling way down the hall from the kitchen, but it goes off within 2 seconds of opening the oven. Drives us nuts.

Picked up Cayenne E-Hybrid. Paid sticker, boo. Only the 2nd time paying sticker, the $7500 tax credit helps ease the pain.

Great pick up! I have always loved those volt painted calipers on Porsche.

I am all all about Detailing my rides. By admission, I've always been a Meguiars guy for 9ver 2 Decades. But for the last year or so, Turtle Wax entire Ceramic lineup can NOT be beat! If you're not familiar or haven't tried any, let this be your first purchase. You will NOT be disappointed... 💯

Yes, wife has one without the green calipers, not the same.

Cashmere Beige Metallic

I need to take better pictures. This photo from PDI gives a better idea of the color.

Nissan GTR GR6 Billet Baskets for the Dual-clutch transmission. Basket B (R, 1, 3, & 5 gears) broke after 17,000 miles of 950 Ft/Lb wheel torque.

M_Six · 12-27-2021, 11:21 PM

Working on a project with a friend and I needed a quick and easy backup for our images and files. It stuns me that 2TB is this cheap ($70). I clearly remember paying $40k for a 768GB server. I guess that was 10-12 years ago, which is a lifetime in IT years.
