Last week of break before I have to head back to work, and we've had a typhoon for most of it. 3 official days off work for everyone. I'm getting right tired of the torrential rain, and keeping balcony drains cleared, but otherwise ok.
There has to be evidence of their process for me to accept it as evidence of understanding/ability. I have made it clear to them that this is necessary. Their job is to convince me that they know what they're doing. (But... I'm teaching HS Mathematics). So .. I'd mark it wrong/incomplete. I'm also working on student understanding of consequences of their actions, so wouldn't give them another opportunity on that exam. They would need to improve things on the next exam.
I have been using home row mods for about 6 months now, and followed this page to tweak timings. I adjusted pretty quickly, and while will still sometimes end up with incorrect inputs, my typing has become crisper (to avoid unwanted mods). I think the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. I really like using my middle fingers for shift.
This one I have has a +2 wand of regrowth and the sandals as the first artifact, though not until...the caves? Maybe earlier.
Working in Shattered 2.3.1
Apparently I uploaded the wrong photo. Here is the seed: XTV-SWY-FXG. Version 2.3.0 of Shattered PD.
Yeah, this resonates. It would make for interesting research, to get away from our self-selecting anecdotal evidence. I have my own suspicion that major family issues also encourage people to move abroad, and that this can become intergenerational....
This is where fractal/fractional dimensions become useful. Living on the surface of the earth puts us in a dimension between 2 and 3, and varies depending on the environment you're living in.
Thank you so much for sharing all that! I've been putting off building a wireless hillside 46(I'm really enjoying my wired one, but the wires are annoying me), and your modifications makes it perfect for me.
Grow carrots. Make goop. Print carrots from goop. Makes perfect sense.
Can you share the files for your case? I'm wanting to make the same (Hillside 40, no?), but can only find files for a 46, and am hoping to avoid the learning curve needed for 3d modeling. Thanks.
And thanks to Suraj Kurapati's own issues and config modifications (https://sunaku.github.io/home-row-mods.html) along with a lighter touch in my typing, typing is much cleaner now for me, with only very rare mods being inadvertently triggered. Very happy with how things are going. Now for a wireless version.
Now that I'm used to my hillside, I'm starting to think about a wireless option, and this one is at the top of my list. It looks good!
Haha. I might have to move my command/alt/shift/ctrl keys down to the thumb clusters. I mostly like the miryoku layout with them on the home row, but sloppy rolls with A-T or S-T combinations (CMD-T) keep opening new tabs, and I'm getting grumpy. No violence yet. Maybe I can fix that by increasing the time before the hold activates.
Ha! I rarely use them. I also forgot a layer for them until I was reviewing what I had. I also used a minus keycode without the underscore on shift....and editing my keymaps became a bit rough. Yeah, I don't think I'm going to need the duplication, and my right and left thumbs have different resting positions, so I'll probably change things up as I'm finding I only use my right thumb for space and enter.
Haha. I had a stock set of keycaps, which didn't have great options for my layout. I've mostly got the thumb clusters mirrored, with space(the right arrows), enter(enter/heart) and tabs on both sides (and backspace and delete mirrored). Left cluster has ESC, with right cluster having a Function layer switch on hold(the F key). I've got layer switch on hold for several of those thumb keys as well. The vertical thumbkey is not the easiest, which is why I put the tab keys there as I don't use them that often. When I clean my keymaps up I'll share an image. I feel the thumb clusters are larger than ideal for me. The board is setup to allow for Rotary encoders in those vertical thumb positions, and if I can find a suitable low profile knob I may end up swapping for a couple.
So, after some playing around trying to figure out a preferred physical layout, I decided a Hillside 46 splayed keyboard would be about right. Thanks to Leo at Beekeeb for answering all my questions before ordering and during the build! Surface mount soldering was tricky, but everything works on the first try! I finally can use Dvorak with keycaps in the right place. Keymapping is a work in progress as I am getting used to this, and I am still trying to figure out how to get my Unicode characters to display in Linux (though for the Mac they show up fine). Now for lots of practice to build up new muscle memory, and develop a lighter touch so I don't keep inputting command characters unintentionally.
Wow! It has been a long time since I listened to this. Also, don't forget the classic "Coelacanth".
I should reread that. I once had and read the first 2 volumes, but never finished the series. It is time.
Started a batch of natto this evening. 600g of dry soybeans soaked about 8 hours, then pressure cooked for 20 minutes. Mixed in some spores, put a thin layer of the beans in these glass containers, then covered with a damp cloth and lids. I'll keep these in my makeshift incubator (a cooler with a reptile cage heating mat) overnight at 40C, then put them in the fridge in the morning, and enjoy them the day after.
I have some Iranian friends who occasionally bring pickles over to share. I decided to make a fermented version (as my friends usually just use vinegar), and the pickles turned out amazing!
Be warned, this recipe requires a lot of chopping.
I used a recipe similar to the link, but substituted the vinegar with a 2% salt lactoferment. The spicing is crucial to its distinct flavour.
This is our local park composting setup for leaves and grass, not long after having removed finished material. Leaves (browns) are abundant in late winter, and grass is abundant in summer. Water is usually an issue, as volunteers who take leaves don't have time to wet everything down, so that usually gets resolved when we turn the compost (a community event 2-3 times a year). We just had an automatic watering system installed, so that should help. Doors are attached with wingnuts and come off fairly easily.
I'm digging up some old photos to share. I'm partial to ginger beers, and experimented with other flavours available here (in Taiwan). Roselle is our favourite (with lemon, of course), and always carbonated quickly. Turmeric by itself was too much flavour-wise, but half and half with ginger was tasty.
