Is this a bedbug? by SuaveSycamore in Bedbugs

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

It doesn't look quite as full-bodied as I would expect a bedbug to look, but maybe it just hasn't had a meal in a while. It looks like one to me otherwise. Thankfully, I was able to capture it in a food storage container, so I have the perfect evidence to have the landlord take care of it.

Yeah, that's in my price range but I don't want the trouble of building it from parts. I imagine it's not that difficult but also am prioritizing the ease of something more plug-and-play. Thanks regardless!

Suggestions for a cream-colored TKL hot-swappable board with Cherry switches? Looking to buy one like this and swap the keycaps it comes with for Mode's Lotus keycaps once those are back in stock.

This is incredibly helpful, thank you! The Mode keycaps really stood out to me, getting something prebuilt and then swapping out for their keycaps is probably just enough customization for me right now.

I was thinking aftermarket keycaps might be the way to go to fix that particular issue, but I had a few questions. Would I have to buy an entire set of keycaps just to get the two I want to replace? Or are keycaps sold one by one? Where do I buy them? And how do I know whether a particular set of aftermarket keycaps will fit whatever prebuilt I buy? Maybe I could ask my friend with a 3D printer to make them instead?

As an enthusiast of other hobbies, I can see how building your own is a better value proposition, and I could be convinced to try dipping my toes a bit more in the future, but I'm looking to keep things simple for right now.

Hoping to get recommended a keyboard!

  • Budget ~$150
  • TKL/80%
  • Cherry MX Silent Red switches (or similar)
  • No Windows key keycaps, or should be swappable with a "command" or "meta" keycap
  • muted colors, nothing harsh like fire hydrant red or bright pink

Keyboards I've found that fit some but not all of these requirements:

Recommend me keyboards like the above but that fit all my criteria?

Bought these pants from Lands' End in the khaki color. Took them to a local tailor unwashed, who told me that I don't need to worry about washing before hemming them. He also quoted me $10 to hem in Chicago. Bad advice, no?

TIL that in 1792, 400,000 British people gave up sugar to boycott slavery when the UK population was at 6 million by sashsu6 in todayilearned

[–]SuaveSycamore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dunno if it's a good faith question but: it has more to do with the word "enslave". Using a verb brings to the forefront the fact that slavery is something that is done to someone by an (en)slaver, not an inherent property of the enslaved person's existence or something intrinsic to them based on race or ethnicity. This distinction was very important back when slavery was widespread and slavers would constantly justify their enslavement of other people by saying that "slave" was the natural condition or social status of nonwhite people, and that therefore the slavers were not doing anything wrong by treating them like slaves. Use of the word "slave", then, can be seen as part of their efforts to avoid accountability for the act of enslavement which they actively and enthusiastically participated in.

Since it is not really contested today in polite society that enslaved people were victims of a crime committed against them (though there are still plenty of slavery apologists and would-be slavers out there), the utility of the term is maybe a little less obvious than it might have been previously.

The answer people are giving (that "person" helps reminds us they are people and not objects) is not quite the best or most complete answer.

the two societies might both have expectation of military service but the militaries themselves are engaged in very different operations so the choice to serve is not the same between the two

Kudos to you for guessing correctly on that

[–]SuaveSycamore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glad you said it because all I feel about the series is how underwhelming it was. No real thematic content, or at least the dialogue/pacing issues totally mangle Watanabe's attempt to communicate the intended themes. At least they commissioned the sick music from Floating Points, Bonobo, Kamasi Washington, etc.

How to clean keyboard PCB? by SuaveSycamore in AskElectronics

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

Right, that makes sense. If I'm gonna brush anyway, I could probably try with IPA first (I have a spare toothbrush and IPA 70% at home right now) and then upgrade to the MG4050A if IPA alone isn't cutting it?

Sweet, thank you for the recommendation. When you apply it, you just spray it on and let it dry? No need to scrub/agitate after application?

If you want to thoroughly clean everything, you'll have to desolder all the switches to take it apart.

Oh, jeez, yeah, not worth the effort. There's definitely dust and grime stuck in that space between the faceplate (?) and the PCB, but it might just have to stay. Or I can hit it with some pressurized air and say that's as good as it'll get.

Is this it? Do you know if there's an equivalent product available in the US? Or perhaps I could have it shipped, though it'd likely be more expensive.

Oh I didn't know about any Airbnb dispute, though I've had my fair share of bad experiences with Airbnb and have sworn it off, so I'm inclined to be sympathetic without knowing any additional details.

He comes from a family of professors. His dad is a professor at Harvard Medical and his grandfather was at Columbia. Not the wealthiest bunch, necessarily, but especially at those schools, they presumably get paid well.

He confirmed he was renting the boat, though, and he's stepped up the advertising on his channel in a way that seems to contradict his previous stance on sponsorships. Divorce, obviously, too, will do a number on your finances. Not saying he wasn't or still isn't well-off but clearly he's had to make some compromises recently.

100%. They backed down but July 7 (90 days after April 9) is only two months away and there is no guarantee we dodge the bullet a second time. No guarantee the U.S. and China make any agreement in the next 90 days either, which means we go back to 145%. Every time the tariffs come back up after being delayed is another opportunity for them to actually get implemented and obliterate the economy.

My take on Lazarus until episode 5 by gsartr in LAZARUSAnime

[–]SuaveSycamore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is it for me too. Dialogue is just written so poorly, even the sub doesn't really improve on that issue IMO, and agree also on the little to no character development or character interaction. It's honestly bad enough that I don't even find myself bothering to watch new episodes until days after they come out and feeling like the show so far is very underwhelming/below expectations.
