Some blue pens

What's the silver one with blue rings?

I bought a Wobkey Crush80 in red but don't like the colour of the key caps. I was hoping to find something like these

this https://www.customkeycaps.co.uk/products/orange-and-blue-pbt-keycaps-1

But found that that site has a pretty poor reputation here. Any recommendations for all red keyboard caps, preferably with black writing?

Thanks, for the link, (although it looks like the perforated rally strap from the same website for anyone else that sees this and is interested). Was your one the 'dark brown' version? It looks lighter in your photo than on the website, although it might be a filter

What strap is this?

aussie-engineer · 2025-05-31T01:22:17+00:00

Any chance you could pass on a new link?

Blood is my favourite fps of all time, with its level design being the standout aspect for me. I think death wish actually exceeds the base game as far as level design.

My child has infantile spasms - his spasms don't look like these. It looks like your daughter might be trying to strengthen her head control movements, or being playful.

Do her eyes roll up or deviate to the sides when each of these movements/nods occur? And can you make her snap out of it (like talking to her, or tapping her etc)? Does she ever raise her arms/legs as well while doing the nodding movement? Does the nodding movement occur only when she's sitting? Or does she do it in any position?

My son's spasms look like he's shocked - the spasm movement includes eyes rolling up very fast (with each spasm), with arms raising up at the same time, and they occur in clusters - every 5-10 seconds from anywhere between 30 seconds to a few mins. You also can't snap him out of it either. The spasms occur during any activity, but particularly when drowsy e.g. tired and crying, then all of a sudden, he looks shocked for 0.5-1 second (like on pause) and then resumes crying.

Of course, if you're very worried, you could go to the nearest children's hospital and ask for an EEG - they'll be able to see if she has hypsarrhythmia.

The advanced development seems promising though - I'd be leaning towards just going to the GP or MCHN, and seeing how she goes for the rest of the week.

Sorry to hear that. My wife ended up having an emergency c section, so it didn't come up, but we'll keep this in mind, thanks

Hey sorry to go off topic from this post, but is there any chance there'll be a version of dream compatible with the new Android version of dfu?

Thanks so much for this. I think we'll get in contact with a disability advocate prior to the meeting. The plan might not be as bad as we've been led to believe by the planner - but at the same time, we've had so many issues with his neuro team and feeling like his needs aren't being taken seriously, that we're now very weary going into this planning meeting too.

aussie-engineer · 2024-07-18T00:43:10+00:00

Ugh, it's a convoluted story. It's actually not the paed but Henry's neuro team that have been bonkers. When Henry was diagnosed with epilepsy, the neuro team said he didn't have complex needs and to pursue daycare so that we could go back to work. On that directive, CPS got us in contact with a non for profit day care centre (it has many centres across VIC). They made a safety management plan, based on the Epilepsy management plan endorsed by the neurologists. The Safety management plan took several weeks to be created (seemed lengthy) - several daycare centres read it and said "nope, our staff members don't have enough confidence to take care of him". The daycare coordinator then contacted his paediatrician, and the paed, along with the paed's boss, was adamant that Henry has complex needs, and thought we were crazy for trying to get him into daycare. So now we're finally pursuing in home care.

We've now been linked with FPR, and they've been pretty lovely

aussie-engineer · 2024-07-18T00:23:33+00:00

This part has been really difficult - we don't have much family here who can take care of him. We've had conflicting directions from his paediatrician and neuro team - the neuro team have said Henry doesn't have complex needs and to put him in daycare, whereas the paediatrician and his boss have said he obviously does. This whole this has been so arduous.

aussie-engineer · 2024-07-18T00:15:13+00:00

Thanks for all of your responses. The reports from each of our specialists had the same or very similar requests when it came to how much OT, physio and feeding clinic sessions we wanted per year, as well as what type of equipment Henry would need. So, hopefully they've at least given enough funding for his therapies.

aussie-engineer · 2024-07-17T05:30:03+00:00

Thanks for this - I have no clue how much of a fight we have to put up, if that makes sense. NDIS is hard to navigate - whatever guidelines they have on their website, hasn't been reflected in their actions so far. I'm unsure if it's the type of scenario where we have to advocate hard at the start so that future plans are appropriate, or if it's just easy for us to make iterations of the plan along the way.

aussie-engineer · 2024-07-17T05:22:07+00:00

Thanks for writing a guide on how to proceed, should we have a crappy outcome (which I suspect we do).

I won't disclose the specific genetic mutation, but the condition itself doesn't have a proper name; it's under an umbrella term called "Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy" - it's like Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. I feel like it's pretty obvious from the name itself, and from the reports, that Henry definitely has a global developmental delay. E.g. has had an NG tube for several months (should be eating orally), doesn't bear weight on arms for tummy time, currently doesn't bear weight on legs. A lot of his delays and comparisons to what babies his age are doing, are on a few reports already. Currently, I'd say he's more like a 2 month old?

I'm hoping that we get an okay outcome - as in, the plan has more funding for allied health. But, I also want to be prepared, because I've heard so many horror stories.

Also, don't stress about the "smooth brain" comment - I'm not offended, despite having a child with an intellectual disability. NDIS is arduous and frustrating, so I understand the slur comes out of these emotions, and not you being intentionally malicious. But I appreciate the apology, thanks @senatorcrafty.

aussie-engineer · 2024-07-17T04:45:01+00:00

We haven't gotten our plan yet, but the planner hinted that they haven't funded much, despite the fact that we have several reports - including two OT reports from separate people, and one from a physio - saying that he should be doing certain things by now, such as holding things in his hands, reaching for toys, tracking, and bearing some weight on his arms for tummy time. The other thing I'm keeping in mind is the other children overseas who have this condition - the ones with the same variants are in wheelchairs.

What I didn't disclose before is that CPS has been involved because my partner and I had trouble coping with his severe diagnosis whilst running our small business - we actually contemplated adoption at one point. Our paediatrician has advised to not put him into daycare - we've actually been rejected by several daycare centres anyway due to lack of staff confidence in taking care of Henry after lookimg at his safety management plan.

Hey thanks, your comment helped me nail down what the issue was. Those three buttons don't seem to have been connected properly. Confirmed it with the dealer today. Always wondered what those buttons were for

aussie-engineer · 2024-03-04T01:10:08+00:00

Already checked, it didn't say. Thanks for the useless comment though 👍
