    I'm not planning on drinking but I'm at the vet about to have my two year old cat put down. This is the first time I have really considered it in three years.

    Dude, imagine my surprise when I pop up a random video I'm interested in and see that urban pop Earthworm Jim in the background. Glad to see we both ended up in the same refuge.

    I was a backer for the Beats of Rage crowdsource. The FP is LEGIT a great movie. It's mad problematic, sure, but great.

    The only thing I can tell you is that if you get a keyboard with a bad membrane, it CAN be fixed but it's a huge pain in the ass since you need to replace all the little plastic tabs on the chassis with tiny bolts.

    I have both an OG model M and a unicomp model M mini. They both feel great and seem to have zero issues. My first model M was a 1987 and I used a string of pigtail adapters to get it from AT to USB and while it didn't start working until my OS started booting, it was my favorite of all time. It got lost after we went work from home during COVID and they had a moving company pack our desks up. There is not a day I don't miss that keyboard.

    With all that said, I don't have any experience with the rp2040 controlled unicomps. If you can get an actual model M on the cheap, I say go with that. If not, unicomps are a fine product in my experience.

    I am getting just into hand tool woodworking. This is my second attempt at dovetail joinery. I'm pretty happy with it, but feedback is welcome. I know my tails got a bit gappy. Not sure if I moved my knife wall or just did a poor job of marking.
