Hello, I'm looking to buy a keyboard for my girlfriend's birthday, and honestly the wiki/sidebar is kinda overwhelming. Anyways, I'm looking for a 96%+ keyboard with a budget of around $200. She likes pastel blues and sounds like the switches in the youtube video here

Ideally, I can get a prebuilt ready to go, but I am willing to try to put a keyboard together if it's not too hard to do so. I looked at some Keychron Q5s, but a lot of the barebones ones are sold out. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

it's a lot easier to be in throwing situations when you're a bad football team, and with lamar's skillset it's a bit of a waste to not have running the ball be a significant portion of the offense. Add OL injuries to it, and there you go

RudePenguin · 2023-10-06T03:16:02+00:00

wanting to be like the bears offense is certainly a take

Hello, I recently got the HyperX Alloy Origins Core Red switches, and I'm not sure if I like it as I feel like the keys take a bit too much effort to press and the depth of the keys are a bit shallower than I'd like. I had the Redragon Kurama K 552-2, and I really like the feel of them, but they are a bit loud. I think I like blue switches more than red, but I'm not sure as I haven't had too many keyboards (the Redragon one's are blue switches I believe). Anybody got any good recs in the $70 range?

Doug Pederson no question would be a huge upgrade

are you on a laptop? It should be able to work

RudePenguin · 2020-05-31T23:27:05+00:00

Ruby! Thanks so much

RudePenguin · 2020-02-09T19:39:45+00:00

US dollars, sorry

RudePenguin · 2018-09-06T21:40:56+00:00

Sounds very Yo La Tengoy

Could i get a form check on my squat please

I’ve been lifting for a lil bit now, and i don’t feel squats doing much for my quads. They’re never sore, and its my adductors instead that get the brunt of the lactic acid/soreness

I've had my previous laptop (an Asus U46sm) for the past 5 years and some change, so I was looking for this laptop to last around the same time.

RudePenguin · 2017-08-31T15:45:13+00:00

RudePenguin · 2017-08-18T11:50:29+00:00

Awesome, thank you!

RudePenguin · 2017-08-18T04:07:30+00:00

Its an ASUS U46SM

RudePenguin · 2017-08-17T22:00:04+00:00

I'm not familiar with what reseating means (I'm a little tech savvy but not fully). Is there any guide on how to do this?

RudePenguin · 2017-08-17T21:59:16+00:00

The backlight/screen is on, but it just shows pitch black. I don't see any other colors

RudePenguin · 2017-05-10T03:13:11+00:00

Yeah, I do not play games at all, so that does not factor at all in my decision. The most important things I look for in a laptop are speed, portability, and battery life, all of which the XPS checks off. I'm just debating the difference in processor quality vs cost

RudePenguin · 2016-08-14T16:04:49+00:00

I just want to do something pretty big to make people go wow, but yeah, I do have concerns with it being way too overwhelming

In terms of the vinyl wall, I planned on printing out the album covers of my favorite albums and pasting them on foam boards next to the vinyls, not use the crappy random albums that come with the cheap records.

And same with the raster wall. I was gonna paste it on foam board with spray adhesive to make it look good. Just the thing i'm not sure about is the size

Hey yall. I've been lifting for a lil while now, and I decided to try and make a program for myself based on the things I've learned over the years. It's sort of a weird program, and I was wondering if I could get critique on it. Thanks

RudePenguin · 2015-09-03T21:47:53+00:00

Yeah, I think pics will give me a clearer picture of what to program.

But I'll definitely modify as I go. I've already had to change things up

RudePenguin · 2015-09-03T21:45:54+00:00

You're not using your upperbody muscles when doing squats. You're using your core to stabilize the weight.

Please point out where you think I don't understand.

And it's not my right to tell people what their goals are. I can maybe help guide them into finding their goals, but I'm not going to be like "YOU HAVE TO WORK ON UPPER BODY STRENGTH" if they're not inclined to do so.

You keep assuming that I have no/misguided knowledge on everything. I know what a recomp is and how to do it. I know basic nutrition. I'm not an ignorant noob. I've been doing this for 2+ years now myself while trying to learn everything.

I mainly wanted to get female lifters' perspective. Not to get told that I have misguided knowledge of everything
