riskable

Building your own keyboard is supposed to be fun. You do some research to figure out what you want. Maybe order some sample switches to try out, pick out a keycap set you like, and eventually settle on a kit.

When you order your kit it'll include a case, a top plate, and a circuit board. If you get one with hot swap sockets you will not have to solder anything. You can literally just press the switches in.

Then when you're done you screw everything together, put your keycaps on, and you have a working keyboard. Sometimes you have to flash the firmware as a final step but that's not rocket science. You do not have to know how to program.

You don't have to solder if you use hot swap sockets for your switches. Even if you never plan to swap the switches the hot swap sockets mean you'll never have to solder a thing 👍

Just build your own keyboard. That's what I did (and it turned out fantastic) 🤷

Mice are much easier to deal with since there's 500 million of them to choose from. Just pick a generic, no-name brand that doesn't need drivers and you're all set.

Aside: Building a keyboard isn't rocket science. It's just a bit tedious (buy a kit). Unless you invent your own 3D printable keyboard switch and stabilizers from scratch then design an analog circuit board to work with them (also from scratch). Then it's a bit more like rocket science 🤣

It's really hard to time it just right but the theme to Jeopardy 👍

Get it wrong and it'll really surprise you!

The tortoise Doctor comes to visit from time to time.

Giant Sulcata Tortoise. Rescued from a highway in northern Florida. We adopter her at the (desperate) request of animal control.

The vet guessed she's around 20 years old. She weighs about 100lbs right now (was only 85 when we took her in).

This is heaven for my tortoise. She loves pumpkins and we tell everyone in the neighborhood to bring all their old Halloween pumpkins to our place after they're done with them.

Carved pumpkin getting a little wilty? She doesn't care. Munch munch munch! Delicious.

I just shake the water off like a dog.

Just your average dead whale beheading to bring home the trophy. Nothing special!

Conservatives: This is how the zombie apocalypse starts... With one person refusing to let medical professionals know about their problem.

I'd use a very real scenario of immigrants and "merely visiting" foreigners who get sick spreading any given disease (e.g. How do you think we ended up with Zika in Florida?) but I know conservatives aren't interested in reality. Even JD Vance knows that in order to get conservatives attention you need to promote fiction.
