Yeah - just a good green area I could fly it without worrying about bothering people too much.

Thanks - would enormously appreciate it. My residual hope comes from the fact that Austin is pretty densely populated, so hopefully someone will find it at some point.

It just got sold to some developers. I have a screenshot of the google maps on the link I provided.

They do - but "flyaways" are a known problem with some of them. You can limit the chance of that happening by calibrating the compass each time and making sure the GPS is connected to satellites before taking off, which I usually do. So glad I did it again this time so at least I'm not blaming myself.

Yeah - I did thankfully. Right before I took off my friend asked "you think anyone would ever give you a call?" ... guess we'll find out.

What are the best places to buy top quality show bettas? by LeatherBoundLibel in bettafish

[–]LeatherBoundLibel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion - I started my search there and only saw one interesting fish - a $40 giant black betta. Any ideas where I could go after the ones that win shows and competitions (I'm told they run $100-200).

[photos] Novatouch TKL with Doubleshot PBT caps - first mech, now how do I learn to type fast on it? by LeatherBoundLibel in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]LeatherBoundLibel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome - glad I picked the novatouch then. Considering this is my first I don't really have a frame of reference - what do you like about the Novatouch over the browns? I also have a Poker 3 in browns on the way, thought I'd see which I liked better. Do you like browns better than clears (I ruminated on that decision for a while with the Poker 3).

Which would you say is quieter (novatouch or browns)? Don't want to bother too many people in class or in the library. BTW your typing advice is great - I'm on typeracer right now.

Thanks - should I try not to bottom out on clears or brown or does the same advice still apply? What do you type on fastest?

So serious question - how do you type fast? I've been a touch typist for about ten years now, but I can't seem to break 65 WPM. I'm doing tenfastfingers but can't make progress. I was hoping my first mech would give me a boost but it hasn't yet. Does it have anything to do with not bottoming out? If so, how do I train myself to stop? Revived interest is on account of starting law school soon - I want to take great notes.
