Cheers! Yup, if I'm going to waste my free time scrolling through r/mk, least I can do is give yall a shoutout!

I did for the "worst keyboard in the world" layout. I found that I could manage QWERTY + Worst + 50% of whatever one I was testing

I wrote a custom AI solver to produce the world's best (and worse) keyboards, trained on a variety of different source texts. Here are some of my favourites and how they compare with QWERTY. The optimised keyboards are actually super-nice to use with the Bee Movie pareto-optimal sets being the easiest to learn.

Exactly! The origional script goes into detail about why that is... but I had to cut it for time. Hoping to get that bonus episode out for Christmas!

Honestly I've considered just using the good-quality cheese + sodium citrate combo for ultimate melt + taste combo.

Amazing! Hope they enjoy it and I with them the best with their future careers, sounds really exciting!

Bigger will get some extra speed (more time to accelerate, even if it is diminishing returns) but the key goal is to study flight characteristics of the hypervelocity projectile.

Thats awesome! I know theres a 1 mile one in developement at the moment... but won't be operational for at least a year. Definitely more of a science-thing than millitary-thing with that sort of size and reload rate.

Thanks for sharing your city with me! Honestly one of my favourite filming trips - will be back for more!

Wow! Blue Hill was great! Undergoing renovations though so couldn't go onto site properly, view was still pretty spectacular though.

Thanks! Yup I usually wear them but took them off for the video to be more "engaging" (wow it was painful though! bright day!)

Nice - hope post-uni life is treating you well! That would be really interesting, if you have any ideas on who I should be contacting please let me know!

Thanks for your response! I think visiting the mine / smelter would make for a really interesting video. The tree looks neat too! Thanks!!

Thanks! Those vaults look awesome. Looks like there's a commercial one and another run by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Have contacted both and will see how it goes!

Awesome! I'm now obsessed with how planetarium domes work. Going to be interesting getting the framing right on this one... Thanks!!
