I hope thorium reactors become a reality soon, they'll probably fix or lower most of your concerns with current uranium reactors.

Go into your settings, you can block whatever user, community, or instance you feel like blocking. You should have the option so you don't need to block individual users.

Defederating the entire instance seems excessive for this use case.

America's Test Kitchen has a bunch of reviews

Edit: as others have said, look at restaurant supply stores in your area. Besides stainless, I'd also recommend carbon steel or cast iron since you're looking for durability and food safety.

Good luck finding a parking space.

Average US parking space according to wikipedia is 8.5 to 9 ft wide. The Escalade IQL is 85 inches (7.1ft) wide with mirrors folded. That gives you 1.5 to 2 feet of space total (not on each side), so you'd probably have to trap your passengers just for the driver's side to get out in many situations like strip malls, movie theaters, hotels, parking garages that were designed for normal sized vehicles. (For comparison a Toyota Corolla is 5.8ft wide would have about 3 feet of space). Expect a lot of dinged doors and door dinging.

First thing in the morning and now you've missed your own meeting.

I cancelled my Kagi subscription as soon as they started rolling out their "AI" features.

Edit: Otherwise I was happy to pay a monthly fee for privacy respecting search. Now I use a mix of 4Get, SearXNG, Startpage

 

Climate change is commonly treated as a single, global problem that needs to be "solved." This mindset may have been appropriate in the past, but at 1.5°C above the preindustrial average, it's clear that we are not going to solve climate change. Everyone is going to live in a changed and changing climate for centuries to come. In this powerful keynote session, Spencer Glendon, founder of Probable Futures, will show how essential it is to make adaptation a priority and how doing so can lead to stronger institutions, healthier communities, better food, and even more effective decarbonization. Whether you are interested in housing, transportation, water, insurance, community organizing, fruit, or any other aspect of society, this session will give you frameworks, tools, and examples to help you see the world around you more clearly and make better decisions.

 

TLDR:

  • Keyboard: System 76 Launch
  • Keypad: Keychron Q0 Plus QMK Custom Number Pad
  • Keycaps: XDA profile
  • Switches: Cherry MX SPEED SILVER Switches RGB
  • Wristpad: Keychron Wooden Palm Rest (Wooden / K3 / K3 Pro / K7 / K7 Pro / S1 PR4)

www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/ for the last picture with the key layout

Details and Flavor:

This is my first hot swappable mechanical keyboard after having a few Durgod keyboards (switches are soldered to the board).

After the INCIDENT- I spilled a whole jack and coke on my Durgod - the entire thing was unsalvageable because only thing I could do was remove the keycaps, I couldn't remove the soldered switches or take it apart further. So the whole thing was a sticky mess even after drying it out, and the spacebar and CTRL were never the same. I probably could have dunked the whole thing in rubbing alcohol or something, but I just recycled it. So that led me down the path towards customizable mechanical keyboards with hot swappable switches.

Keyboard: System 76 Launch

84 Key variant of the 75% layout, with a split spacebar and extra key for super/function bottom left Super fucking useful why aren't all keyboards made like this I'm never going back to a keyboard with a full spacebar.

Keypad: Keychron Q0 Plus QMK Custom Number Pad

Has survived one accidental drink spillage, luckily it was just water (a whole pint) and I got it unplugged immediately and taken apart to dry. No shorts and all switches and the board were fine after air drying. There was some green paper taped to the bottom of the PCB that did not survive though. I bent a few pins when I manhandled the swtiches back in place, but nothing some tweezers and reinstallation couldn't fix.

Keycaps XDA profile:

I like the profile but these seem to be rarer and its difficult to find any see-through variants with the numbers/letters clear (to let the RBG shine through so I can PWN more in FPSs) Also having keys with a standardized profile, same shape keys regardless of the row, was important because of the oddball layout and key sizes for the system76 keyboards. XDA Tricolor Keycaps

Handmade Abalone Mother of Pearl Keycaps.

These are abalone round beads (meant for a necklace or bracelet) glued to 3D printed keycap mounts. Purchased for around $3 each from my local keyboard shop. They have some cool custom keycaps here: https://shop.yushakobo.jp/collections/artisan-keycaps?page=1 And even more in the store that never get put online. If you are ever in Akihabara Tokyo they are definitely worth a visit. Big disclaimer though: "Every product from this store is hella overpriced." https://maps.app.goo.gl/s4pksssA9sGrz75Z6

So look at the pretty things, but maybe check online or somewhere else first before buying anything lol

DIY if you wanna recreate the abalone keycaps:

There's a bunch of free models you can find online for the "keycap mounts" that might work. I haven't gotten around to making my own, still need to figure out a program in linux I can edit 3D models and figure out how to use it. Super easy to get them 3D printed once you get/make the models. The beads you can find on sites like esty, "mother of pearl round beads"

Switches: Cherry MX SPEED SILVER Switches RGB

I found the Kalih Box switch options from system76 to be too scratchy and I didn't like the Gatreon G Pro switches from Keychron either. I was used to the Cherry MX Speed Silver from my old Durgod keyboard. I prefer linear, super smooth feeling switches especially for gaming, so I went back to the MX speed silver.

Layout:

I used to prefer 96% or 100% (a lot of excel formulas) but the wide keyboard kept getting in the way of FPS gaming and I'd be constantly hitting my mouse against the keyboard, even with maxed out mouse DPI and minimal wrist movement, the keyboard was too wide. So for about 8 years or so I've been using a separate numpad.

Festivus Airing of the Grievances:

I had trouble customizing the keymapping on the Keychron keypad. I wish the keychron keyboard was more straightfoward to customize in linux, or at least compatible with system76's keyboard configurator https://github.com/pop-os/keyboard-configurator so I didn't have to dig through 10 year old arch forums and reddit threads.
