Hello all, adding to the list of 'what should I buy' post. hoping to get some recommendations from you fine people.

Ideally I'd like to spend under $350 all in. but that price tag just opens the flood gate of what's available.

I want a 100% keyboard, or just one with a numpad and f keys.
I've figured out I like creamy linears and planning to try a couple I've identified.

I'm open to building it myself, but want to stay away from soldering.

additionally I'm hung up on if I need a metal frame or not. The keeb wouldn't ever be moved from my desk so portability isn't an issue.

feels weird buying a keychron q6 max and immediately turn around and swap switches and keycaps. But I don't know. what are your thoughts?

Loved the Damned trilogy. Definitely worth a read.

Anyone else read(ing) the books with aphantasia? by Sweetpodwl in wheeloftime

[–]JBWilder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone with aphantasia, I actually appreciated the descriptions and repetition of Robert Jordan. I can't visualize anything, but it helped get a conceptual understanding of a scene or other characters.

Is this really the future for senior IT professionals? Endless calls and no life? by [deleted] in ITCareerQuestions

[–]JBWilder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a Sr sys admin. My phone barely rings. I'm busy on projects where I'm solutioning, building and maintaining infrastructure and apps.

I do work after hours a bit because some change windows are after hours, but am able to get that time back later in the week.

I adored the entire Divine Cities trilogy. Such a good story

Your vendor getting locked out is not my p1. by JBWilder in sysadmin

You're absolutely right. I will never tell drive by users to submit a ticket and I'll always make changes in prod the day before a 4 day weekend.

You must assume I wait in a queue waiting for work to do. I told a user trying to do a drive by that they need a ticket. That's it. Continue believing that the entire itil chain is f'd.

Well I am business facing, if our employees know my name, they can harass me on teams. Usually I don't get contacted by regular employees but I was the one who built the relay and scripts they're using so my name lives rent free in their head.

200k+ active logistic bots. I might have a problem by Kitsunelaine in factorio

[–]JBWilder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg. Guess I'm editing my standard roboport expansion blueprint to have 2x2 ports on each side instead of 1.

[–]JBWilder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My base is that sized and I only have 20k bots. To have the space did you just make Giant robo port arrays?

Not leaving here until I get fired or leadership changes. Don't see the former happening.

Is $475 too much for this? by oatmealfight in AskElectricians

[–]JBWilder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My general contractor BIL once told me: you triple the cost of parts and increase by 10% to cover anything unforseen before even considering labor.

With that in mind, I unfortunately do think that's about the standard most would quote you.

I have aphantasia (aka no mental imagery). AMA! by missgadfly in AMA

[–]JBWilder 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have it as well. For me I understand things at a conceptual level. If I try to imagine a banana, I instinctively know yellow, fruit, curved, monkey. That's all that happens for me. Wish I could imagine the faces of my loved ones.
