I bought a tester. Cheers

Hah, that’s a good one. We don’t really have that where I’m from.

That would be the logical thing to do. I’m being impatient, but you are probably right. If I’m dropping that kind of money, I’d better get the switches right.

It’s not worse than the one outside gatwick south terminal long stay. That’s for sure.

Ergodox

I’ve been looking for a photo of a ergodox ez and a voyager side-by-side. Trying to figure out how luggable the EZ will be.

Voyager looks amazingly luggable, but I’m not sure if I can live with so few keys.

This reminds me of my struggle with yoga.

Stretching: good. Magic energy: sigh…

Thanks!

Can you tell me about your experience with it?

Do you find it easy to lug around in a backpack? Is it easy to set up after you’ve ported it?

I’m slightly worried that the layout configurator is web-based and could disappear at any moment. Is there an offline tool you can use for the same purpose?

Ah, it says on their website that the first revision was developed in 1976:

The first keyboard, (top image), was shown at the News Tec exhibition, Brighton, in December 1976

The thumb cluster was different back then, but the ortholinear scoop was there.

Thanks for the slice mk suggestion.

I dont know when the M3D was first manufactured, but I assumed maltron were the first with that design since they’ve been in the game since the 70s.

Imagine… “I just love sitting through annoying unskippable ads so much! And I simply can’t wait to see more ads still when I pause!”

Packet loss. Hur hur.

I thought that these personality tests had been debunked?

We had the myers briggs test back in the day, and I’ve heard on couple podcasts that these tests (including MB) are highly questionable.

As it happens, the latest maintenance phase podacst is about the MB test:

Not listened yet, but will.

On a related note, I host the Guardian to gopherspace here: gopher://theunixzoo.co.uk/1/the-guardian

Sadly that’s what the human race does. It’s nothing unique to nuclear power.

It still baffles me, for example, that with all this technology, we still generate all this rubbish which we then bury in the ground. And we all know it. We all buy things in disposable packaging. We are all complicit.

The care and maintenance stage is part of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) decommissioning strategy and spans an 80+ year period. This waiting period allows for radiation levels within the reactor core to decline and helps to facilitate a smoother demolition process. Dungeness A is due to enter the care and maintenance phase in 2027. Demolition of reactor buildings and final site clearance is planned for 2088 to 2098

It’s an amazing place. I visited last month. You can overlook the power station from a nearby lighthouse.

When reading about dungeness reactor i learned that even reactors that haven’t melted down also take about a hundred years to decommission safely.

Another interesting stat I heard on a podcast is that the coal industry has proven much more deadly than the nuclear industry in terms of human lives lost.

Kids are crushingly expensive in their early years… if you want to have a career at the same time…

These people haven’t heard of zfs then?

I enjoy reading phlogs on gopher.

Can you side load on ios?

Seems like the kind of thing they wouldn’t want you to do?
