If you get the type of board where you add in your own microcontroller, you could replace a pro micro with a nice!nano. I don't know how common that is on non-split keyboards, though.

Why don't they? Because they know it's not true. They know that they don't have evidence that they can present in court, and even they aren't dumb enough to perjur themselves. Their plan was never to win in a court of law: it was so win in a court of their own supporters' public opinion.

My house is a fixer-upper, so usually house projects. Yard work, hanging shakes, painting. It's nice to do something physical where I can see a benefit at the end of it, when I spend my day sitting at a desk inside. It's also nice when the neighbors compliment our progress!

I'm also team onshape. I have a powerful desktop, but I still end up doing CAD from the couch on my 6-year-old Chromebook, so onshape is a champ for that. It's also nice for collaborating, which I do when working on bigger projects with my fiancee.

I got started with it entirely from the tutorials provided by Onshape itself. The learning curve was a lot less steep than I expected.

Video evidence showing them hiding evidence seems like a pretty slam dunk way to get a warrant.

I'm on 1200mg/day of gabapentin for migraines. I had to stop upping the dose at that point because it was starting to make me tired all the time. My body has slowly gotten used to it and I'm less tired now. This stuff impacts everyone's brains and bodies differently. If your doctor is legit laughing at you for this, that's complete unprofessional shit.

I'm almost done building a from-scratch keyboard with a pair of nice!nanos. So far is been a pretty good experience. I ran into some issues setting up my firmware for a brand new keyboard layout (which shouldn't be an issue if you're just making a config for an existing keyboard), and the ZMK/nice!nano discords were very helpful and got me up and running.

When wiring the battery, I'd say get the biggest single cell lipo that will fit in your case. But even a 100mAh battery will get you pretty far off you don't have LEDs. You just connect the B+ and B- pins on the board to your battery. If you want to make the battery last longer, stick a switch inline with the battery to be able to completely turn it off (rather than it just going into deep sleep).

When our current car dies, I'd like to replace it with an EV - but 0% chance it'll be a Tesla.

What kind of curling issue, and did the Hilbert curve help with that?

I've found that I'm rarely doing something where my top layer lines matter. Usually, I get my finished surface by printing things face down on a textured sheet. This works for probably 95% of the things I print whereki care about finish. The others I'll turn on ironing, but that's probably way slower than the Hilbert curve.

My only experience was my grandparents once getting me a bucket of Megablocks when I was a kid - probably late 90s/early 2000s. Things have probably improved since then, but these things were awful. The plastic was dull, colors were pale, and they bent easily - getting those white crease marks. It was also my first lesson in tolerances, because the tolerances were also awful on them. They were inconsistent, and many were too loose to tightly connect to each other or real Lego. My grandma was also very disappointed and went back to buying the real stuff for future birthday presents!
