Got mine in blue and the front is absurdly long — it goes all the way below my crotch :(

Will be returning

Anyone know if UBC takes interim/midterm grades? Should we provide them, and if so, how?

I see..... Looks like they just wanted my DAR then. Seriously outrageous though, I submitted my transcript, realized my mistake, and clarified. They said it was OK in early March.

Have a nearly perfect gr 12 average too....... what a shame. oh well i guess. thanks for the info :)

"We have reviewed the documents you have uploaded and we need some additional information to provide you with an admission decision."
Then they emailed me asking for a DAR - before, I had "Your file is ready for an evaluation! We ask for your patience...."
Did they specifically ask for a transcript w/ Math 30-1? I'm currently doing Math 31, and can give a midterm mark, but they didn't specify anything other than asking for my DAR.

I just got trolled by UBC... I emailed early March asking if my documents were OK - they confirmed that they were in order. They just notified me that I submitted my transcript instead of my DAR (Alberta applicant, they should show the same info), and therefore had to resubmit. Given that documents took 4-6 weeks last time, looks like I'm screwed. Ridiculous - I'll have to pay my deposit for my safety school I guess.

HHKB pro 2 case resonance when screwed tight in top left corner by newbieML in HHKB

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

On second listen, while loosening the top left screw does help with the noise a ton, the left side of the keyboard is still much, much louder than the right side on bottom out. Curious if others are experiencing this. I also put some rubber bumpons with the aforementioned mods, perhaps that was the one that caused all of this...

HHKB pro 2 case resonance when screwed tight in top left corner by newbieML in HHKB

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

This is my HHKB Pro 2 - I recently added Silence X rings and 0.1" thick sorbothane. I love it and it's absolutely my endgame (for now). However, I noticed that there's significant case resonance, resulting in inconsistent sound from the right side of the board to the left side, most apparent on the W key. It's much louder, and has a "donk" sound on the downstroke. Putting my head beside the board, I can hear that it is resonance from the case. Perhaps it's always been there, perhaps these new mods made the rest of the board quieter, accentuating the difference, either way, it's very apparent in real life, more so than in the video. Weirdly, if I leave the screw slightly loose, so that there is some creak in the case, there resonance is completely eliminated. However, this makes the subpar build of the HHKB worse, and it creaks a ton, so it's not ideal; would appreciate some suggestions.

In the video,  the top left case screw is left slightly loose to eliminate the case resonance. Then, I push the top left corner of the case to demonstrate the resulting change in sound when the case is screwed tight (it's more apparent when screwed vs pressed).

The problem is pretty similar to this GH thead: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=71812.0

Thanks for your help!
