Theme word had a little sibling that also crossed the whole board. Otherwise would have made it through clean.

Good luck, non-Americans.
25·5 days agoNot particularly helpful for you, but this seemed like the thread to chime in that in general with pizza, it’s always MUCH better to go big. Pi*r2, folks. A single 14" Dominos is already pretty much identical to two 10" mediums, and that’s only if you like to eat the crust. Always do your math by dollars per area, not diameter.
A few more “extra” words than usual before getting on track with this one…

Our new zojirushi rice cooker plays songs. It’s weird and makes me wonder why the kitchen sounds like the laundry room.

1·9 days agoIf you’re allowed to have flash media, KMK as mentioned elsewhere just lives on the microcontroller as a python script, and the keymap is very human readable. I have made everything from a 4x3 macropad to a 102-key compact 1800 with it.
Don’t use previously-soldered switches in a hotswap, but otherwise it should be fine to unbend them. I use Outemu switches a lot and it just is what it is. They’re cheap, so the metal is thin and the packaging is minimal, but I really like some of them, like the dustproof green.
One thing to note is that hot-swaps were not really invented with an eye towards frequent switch changes, and can get pulled off the PCB with rough or constant changes, particularly when putting them in, or the internal contacts can get bent (lumps of old solder on switch legs are particularly bad for this). If it’s a pricy keyboard, I’d recommend installing switches with the PCB out of the board so you can support the socket from behind.
For those without the asterisk, try hard mode once you get the hang of the regular mode and it starts feeling easy.

2·11 days agoFinished up my last hand wired keyboard the other day, and also the RPi powered Pokédex my daughter had wanted me to finish for her for quite a while.
It’s a crude little thing, especially the 3D printing — it was this project that convinced me I had to move on from TinkerCAD — but the software (not mine) works perfectly, the battery is big enough to power the Pi and she’s fond of it.
Reminds me of Meow Wolf.
