So this board is on odd beast. It was designed in-house at System 76, kind of before keyboards blew up (to the limited extent they have) as a hobby. It came out, I want to say during or soon after the pandemic, and it was not very well received, prompting some prickly feedback from the designer. It is pretty idiosyncratic, and messes around with key widths in order to (best I can tell) maximize the flexibility of the layout with the one set of keycaps it comes with.

Unfortunately, that means you end up with a lot of quirky choices and very bad aftermarket keycap support, and at least partially in pursuit of a market that is full of people who will happily ignore the legends on their keycaps. Some of the design choices also haven't aged as well for atttracting an audience to a premium board, like XDA (they'd have probably gone KAM or something low-profile if they were doing it today), and the exposed switches. None of which is to imply you shouldn't enjoy your board. This hobby is supposed to be about personal preference, but it can tend towards the samey-samey, and at least the S76 boards are a big swing.

As for Yushakobo, I visited around Christmas and posted my build on Lemmy. Awesome little shop.

1. I have no intentions of seeing this.

2. Unironic "Hooray" for cinema tuned to regional tastes!

No, it's about an art heist.

I've had a scalp biopsy before. The specific spot they cut will have a scar and if it's a large area and you keep your hair extremely short, then you might be able to spot the specific spot, but generally speaking, no. It won't case hair loss. I honestly don't even remember where they cut me. They should also give you a little shot of numbing agent, so it shouldn't hurt much at all during and then afterwards it's just like any other incision.

No biggie, and generally always well worth it if your doctor thinks they seem something worth cutting off.

Seems like it's from the same dude's library as the one from last year, and he was into Epicurean philosophy, though not the hedonistic caricature that's come down to us.

"Hired," yes...

LOL, usually the dye sub is better than that, but you will almost never find a non-clone design on XDA. I have limited sympathy for designers who think they can avoid having people make shit that's the same color (though it's more commonly the people who bought the real thing than the designers themselves), but I do feel bad that their unique novelties get lifted as well, and then used and abused forever after.

It's doubly unfortunate because XDA is pretty nice, but now the stigma is self-reinforcing.

If it were to happen the way it's "supposed" to, if Canada were admitted as one state it would instantly become the largest state and gain FIFTY electoral votes, as a state gets the same number as they do Senators and Representatives combined. Again, barring the very shenanigans that would likely be the only way this could happen, those fifty votes would be Democratic-leaning for at least a generation. Alberta and the Prairies combined don't have many more people than the GTA.

You could mitigate the presidential-electoral hit by letting them in as 13 provinces, but then you're probably adding 16-18 Dem Senators versus 8-10 Republican. The only real hope is to get the Canadians to vote against their interests and split their Electoral votes when almost no other states (and no other large states at all) do so.

That's assuming it happens aboveboard, of course, which naturally it wouldn't, and would instead plunge the entire continent into violent misery if not outright war.

Yup, and even if they never use it, now their investors and advertisers know they could do it as soon as it's commercially preferable.

In addition to the other people you're hearing, "dwarf planet" also has specific criteria associated with how the body interreacts with its solar system. A dwarf planet has to orbit its star directly and be big enough for its gravity to have pulled it into a roughly spherical shape, but small enough that it hasn't cleared its orbit.

A dwarf star is just a star that's not particularly big and bright for whatever reason. While the terminology is similar, the usage is very different.

Ahhh, but the meme works best when you consider the inherent fragility of the cardboard. Disease and climate change across the Mediterranean and the Levant are also considered to be huge factors, much more influential than anything particularly unique about the Sea Peoples, who were likely motivated by many of the same pressures anyway.

Looking forward to this, and to FAM season 5. They wisely let the Danny Stevens plot go in S4 and even if it’s still not quite as sharp the more speculative they have to get, 4 was much better than 3.

So only someone who knows your exact sense of humor and thought processes is ever going to get any of these other than possibly adorable fascist Flareon. Got it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I say this out of love, by the way. Growing up, my friends all said "pulling a wjrii" meant announcing some non sequitur that was only revealed as a joke after I explained at least three silent leaps of thought that I assumed were self-evident.
