    I’ve been refining this idea for about a year. I began it using a different medium, but the idea of P2025 and the reelection of dipshit spurred me to look at alternatives. I would like to get this idea out there, but I think fb has been blocking my posts, lolol.

    Right now, everything is through Printful (I know, I know), but I’ll order some stuff from Sticky brand and move over to Etsy once I’ve made a few sales.

    I have a lot more ideas to continue and expand the series. We’ll see if it gets anywhere.

    My dad would be so proud. /s

    I made my own, single source bubble hash live rosin, from seed to final product, all by myself and it came out the best I’ve ever done.

    I don’t really have anyone to share it with who would understand and I don’t know if any of you get it either, but I’m super happy with the end result and proud of all the work I did.

      Looks great, I bought a press recently, but trying in shake I have decided I need to grow my own plant to do that and get good results. I was thinking about doing it, but seeing what you got out in now more motivated to get that done this year.

        The hardest part is starting my dude! I highly recommend trying to grow at least once. It’s a lot of time and effort to grow it, harvest it, turn it to bubble hash, and then press it into rosin, but I find it very rewarding, especially now that I’m making decent product. You can also apply a lot of what you lean growing cannabis towards growing food crops like tomatoes and corn.

    I love valheim. It’s an incredible game that keeps getting better. My first foray into the plains was difficult, and I developed a burning hatred for the fulings (goblin things) there. Monsters rarely drop their heads as trophies. I killed thousands and built a large shed and mounted hundreds of their heads on my walls. No pics handy but if anyone is interested I’ll hop on and screenshot.

    Around a year and a half ago I started making my own keyboards. Like, I still use normal switches, normal keycaps, and off-the-shelf microcontrollers & firmware, but the layout and the structure are my own design, mostly fabricated at home. After a few experiments (one ortho, one ergo, one macropad, and one gutting of a broken off-the-shelf to try something larger) , I had three keyboards’ worth of aluminum plates made. One was pretty basic but has remained a favorite and another really hit my retro intent for the design, but the second was sort of an ignored middle-child because it wasn’t as refined as the third, or as earnest and satisfying as the first. I fixed it by designing a wrap-around case for it, changing the keycaps, and adding a little solenoid so it sounds like a telegraph machine whenever I flip a little switch. I’m really pleased that I was able to retrofit it to make it stupidly fun to type on. My boards are not exactly the perfectly-finished CNC aluminum showpieces some enjoy, but it’s deeply satisfying to go from a pile of electronic bits, some sheet goods, and a reel of printer filament, to a functioning piece of daily-use equipment.

        Oh hell yes, the compact layouts that keep their numpads are my usual preference, though in adding numpads I also decided to do my own plates on my home laser, and that was easier without longer keys, so they got a little… weird.

        • First one. Did my own (slightly cockeyed) legends on the keycaps.
        • Second one. F Row returns. Tried to make a case that fit the weird layout. More DIY legends.
        • Third one. Tried to do a southpaw and minimize the need for custom keys, though it still benefits from a few.
        • Back to F-row-less. Careful selection can make this work with purchased caps. It also has a PCB, though the microcontroller is just manually wired instead of being integrated or even socketed.
        • HEHEHEHEHEHE.
        • Bonus. Numpads don’t have to be part of the board.

          I did not realize I need a lefty numpad.

          I’m not a lefty, but as an accountant, it’d be great to use my mouse without taking my hand off the numpad

            They’re really more for use cases like yours and for gamers who want/need one but want to keep their mice close in. As with most well-known layout concepts in the hobby, Keychron sells some. I found it to be… fine, but obviously mine has more compromises than usual. I mostly use one of those smaller ones that still has a right-hand numpad (typing on the F-Row-less black and white one now), or I keep that external numpad to the right of my mouse.

              Thanks, I might check that out. I just got my first mechanical keyboard for Christmas and am loving it. I wonder if I can talk work in to buying me a lefty one.

        Thanks! They’re the twins of the one I just spruced up. The gray one is bare aluminum with oak spacers. Construction wise, it ended up looking a LOT like Matt3o’s BrownFox from like ten years earlier. No surprise, I suspect. The Swill plate generator I used was likely borne out of people wanting to do similar projects. It has Box Navy switches combined with Vortex-designed VSA keycaps that you can find mislabeled all over ebay/AliExpress/etc. as “double shot DSA”, except for the BBC Micro inspired F row, with is just 12 red DSA blanks and one that I lasered a design onto.

        The yellow one has “Fauxly Panda” no-name heavy tactiles from Aliexpress, a 3-D printed case and feet, Akko “SA-L” keycaps, and a design (very) loosely inspired by the later Atari 8-bits. The color scheme is meant to sort of vaguely evoke the original 400 and 800. I am really pleased with this layout, which is just a TKL with the F-row shoved over, a few missing keys above the nav cluster, the Shifts split in two, and the modifiers shrunk down and reduced to give that “dangling spacebar” look so many old keyboards have. Only thing I’d do different is not split the left Shift. I just never got used to having two keys there, so all three boards now just map shift to both keys.

        This has been an immensely fun hobby, and I’ve probably done a dozen projects by now, though I’ve probably topped out how refined my designs can be and still be fabbed on a 5W diode laser and an Ender 3 clone. Last project before the solenoid and aesthetic retrofit was my goofy no-stabilizers Battlecruiser, which I’m currently using for work.

    My shitty cartoons that I moved to a new animation-focused YouTube channel that now are getting less than 1/10th the views after seeming like non-subscribers liked them but subscribers were leaving my channel every time I uploaded them.

    I bought a cheap white led strip from AliExpress to make an edge light around the bathroom mirror. A few cuts, a bit of soldering, and I made some discrete corners pieces with my 3D printer. Double sided tape for a semi permanent install.

    So simple, but the results are great. It’s ZigBee as well so I can add it to the smart home if a need arises.

    I don’t think either are particularly exciting and I didn’t take pictures, but I’m proud of them.

    After years of putting it off, I’ve finally cobbled together a gaming PC, it’s not a powerhouse, most of the parts are about 10+ years old salvaged from my wife’s upgrades over the last few years, and I still need to find a keyboard and mouse I like

    I don’t really have space in my home for a desk, the spare bedroom/office is home to my wife’s computer and don’t really have room to squeeze in another, so I built it in a HTPC case, and it’s pretty damn cool playing on the 70inch TV with surround sound and the hue lights synced up to it

    The other is the cabinets above our fridge. We got a new fridge that’s a bit bigger than our old one, and there’s a bit of a weird bump at the top that prevented the cabinets from swinging open fully.

    So I moved the hinges to the top of the doors instead of the side, and added some gas springs so they stay open, they have enough clearance to open that way.

    The measurements the springs came with to tell you where to mount them are total bullshit. Took a bit of trial and error to figure that out, but my cabinets now have DeLorean-style gullwing doors.

    A podcast called Almost Plausible, where a couple of friends and I take an ordinary object (such as a ceiling fan, a paperclip, or a toilet brush) and we create a movie plot based on that object.

    You can find the show anywhere you listen to podcasts.
