Super interesting, thanks for sharing!

This was whey left over from making yogurt? Did you just do this for the challenge, or was the end result better?

I agree with you. Something about the grease does not sit right with me. The last time I had wagyu, it was at a fancy restaurant tasting menu place where each dish contained some part of the animal. I ended up throwing up later that evening.

Anecdotally, I see them all the time in my neighborhood, and they seem much more attentive to pedestrians and stop signs than regular drivers. Drivers in this neighborhood act like they own the place even though there's probably an equal number of pedestrians out at any given time.

I've also seen one of them fail to pull over when an emergency vehicle was behind it, so I buy that they are causing some problems.

I use fish because I have better things to do than tweak my shell configuration and debug shell plugins.

When I tried oh-my-zsh and prezto (I think?) they came with tons of plugins that performed badly and made it hard to get things done (specifically, they ran git status synchronously on every new prompt, which does not work well in a moderately large repo). Fish had similar features but wasn't horribly slow, so I use it.

Wingsung 699 leaking (sh.itjust.works)

I bought a Wingsung 699 recently from AliExpress because I wanted to try out a vacuum filler. Ink leaks from around the nib whenever I cap it, leading to ink getting on the grip. When I write, blobs of ink sometimes burp out onto the page. Is this typical for this brand? I have another no name Wingsung (I think it's actually a knockoff of the Hongdian dark forest) that has no issues.

Thanks for all the information, everyone! I guess I'm gonna have to get a bunch of samples and report back, this seems like it will be fun!

Hi everyone, I'm pretty new to fountain pens. I'm looking to buy a teal ink. I have two Iroshizuku inks that I really like, tsuki-yo and yu-yake, so I was thinking maybe I should get syo-ro. However, I'm also thinking that it would be worth trying another brand. Can anyone make any recommendations?

I really like ink with lots of shading. I mostly just write personal notes for work and journaling.

My girlfriend and I really enjoyed playing Life is Strange together like this. I think we both enjoyed the setting and characters quite a bit (high school in the Pacific Northwest). We tried Life is strange 2, but never really got into it.

I think the Exploratorium is great, it's probably my favorite Bay Area museum. Check out the cable car museum if you're in the area, it's free and it's pretty incredible to see how these machines work.

I actually had originally intended to use the 5 pin switches, but the PCB I ordered only had holes for 3 pin. Fortunately, I had extras. I guess I should've used a case?

It's just a piece of cardboard that I taped it to. I've since replaced the floral washi tape with something more neutral hahaha.

Ferris Sweep High M (sh.itjust.works)

I built two Ferris Sweeps today, one for home, and one for the office. I originally intended to build one, but after I tested the first, I immediately decided I wanted to also use this at work.

I wasn't able to figure out how to align the switches better, so the grid is pretty bad looking. It doesn't impact my typing at all, so I've left it alone.

I think next time, I'll want some kind of case for it, I'm currently using cardboard, and the whole thing is kinda janky looking.

Hi! I'm going to be building a Ferris Sweep soon. I was curious if anyone has experience with tenting one of these things. It's compatible with splitkb's tenting puck, but having a camera tripod on my desk seems like it would be ridiculously tall, meaning I'd need to adjust my desk and monitor in an unreasonable way. I'd like for my legs to be able to fit under the desk.

I've seen some 3d printed tented cases, does anyone have experience with that?

I have 2 ergodox EZs, a homemade redox that uses Bluetooth, and a homemade dactyl manuform.

For ergonomics, I'd say these are my priorities:

  1. Split
  2. Ortholinear with staggered columns
  3. Tented
  4. Mechanical switches

The arrangement of keys on the ergodox got me to start typing correctly, and I think the split helped a lot with my posture.

I had some bad luck with my dactyl manuform, the tenting was too aggressive, and the thumb cluster was angled in such a way that it put lots of strain on my thumb. I'm currently looking at replacing that with a Ferris Sweep.

Bluetooth was a mistake, the latency was unbearable. It led to one half of the keyboard being consistently slower than the other half, so I'd constantly make mistakes. I used nice!nanos fwiw.

I found a link to JetPens's best pens of 2023 guide while I was on vacation in Japan, and I had to see what all the fuss was about. It's been two months and I've already bought 8 pens and four inks!

I bought a black forest knockoff (made by yongsheng or something) and even that has been good, maybe I should try the real thing
