Very happy that Nick finally won an episode.

lash out in anger and destroy the people that make them feel that way

Small correction: "... destroy the people that they think make them feel that way".

This sounds more like infatuation than love, TBH.

AFAIK, right now, there's nothing available for something like Corne-ish Zen that would be as quiet as a standard chiclet-style keyboard (like your Macally). The Corne-ish Zen takes Kailh Choc v1 switches, and a linear switch (like Kailh Choc Red, Pro Red, or Silver, for example) are going to be the quietest kind. I'm typing on a keyboard right now with Kailh Choc Red switches, and it's quiet for a mechanical keyboard, but a little louder than typing on a standard laptop keyboard, for example.

There are some switch mods out there that aim to make Choc v1 switches quieter, like "tape mod" or "floss mod", although mods like this tend to be pretty tedious and time-consuming. There will probably be a "silent" Choc v1 switch someday, but I don't even know offhand if one is in the works.

If you were interested in a non-low-profile mechanical keyboard, there are "silent" switches available for those (a few examples are Cherry MX Silent Red, ZealPC Zilents, and Kailh Box Silent Brown). If you type with a light touch, a silent mechanical switch might be almost as quiet as your Macally keyboard.

tl;dr: A Corne-ish Zen will be fairly quiet with a linear switch, but not as quiet as the Macally keyboard.

Poor little no-neck dude.

I just want to say that I'm loving this cast. I'd been hoping for a long time that Lucy Beaumont and Sue Perkins would be on, and so far they're everything I hoped for. In fact, I think Lucy is even weirder than I expected, which is really saying something.

Theyr'e the patterns made by field irrigators that rotate around a central point.

I don't know how @HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world would classify it, but I'd classify it as pretty obvious JAQing off. Hope that helps!

I went nuts last night and ordered a zillion Deconstructing Eden samples. Well, that's an exaggeration -- it was 9 (not an actual zillion). I've never tried anything from them before, though, so that feels a little risky. Here's what I picked: Aquarius, Libra, Gemini, Green Man, Haunted, Alyssum House, Naamah, Lena, Poseidon. (See if you can spot the patterns!) I'm excited for the order to arrive and to try these out!

Tijuana is in Mexico. Also, Spanish is spoken by most of the people in Mexico.

I wish I could speak Finnish. But, actually, there are tons of languages I wish I could speak. All of them, really, but Finnish is the first one I thought of just now.

I'm in the US and English is my my primary language. I studied Russian but have forgotten a lot of it. I know a few words of German and French, but very few.

Edited to add: Please tell me what your primary language is. It would also be interesting to know what other languages you speak, if any, and where you currently live.

How do we feel about classical music?

Well, it finally happened and I got COVID. (So angry... ) Luckily, my symptoms have been relatively mild -- but, that being said, I still feel like total shit. But at least I'm not in the hospital or anything like that.

I've been on HRT (estradiol patch and periodic progesterone) for about a year and they've been doing a pretty good job at helping with peri symptoms, but I feel like I've started having hot flashes since getting COVID. Has that happened to anyone else? They feel like hot flashes and not "fever heat". I was feverish a couple days ago, but I don't think I am now.

I definitely have more brain fog and fatigue, too, but those I'm less surprised about.

What do you mean by "tried to have some folks teach me"? Because I think piano/keyboard is a great foundation, but I also think that a lot of people benefit from someone with actual teaching experience -- especially, assuming you're an adult, someone with experience teaching adults. Just because someone knows how to play themselves, even if they're really good, doesn't mean they can teach someone else.
