I will never get over the absurdity of seeing a Confederate flag on a house in Ohio.

As an Ohioan, anything outside of the major metros is basically the south.

That's where I am at now. The whole "There is no such thing as ethical consumption under capitalism" thing really eats at you. But I still know I won't buy a Tesla for a host of reasons.

I thought that was called using meth?

Really? I'll have to check again. Last time I looked it was a defunct Facebook page.

What could be more American than making merchandise to amplify a historic event?

If only the local IWW wasn't a defunct facebook page...

Lot of good points here. I work in electronics manufacturing so I'll add on a bit. Yes, much of what has been explained about solder and flux is correct. I will caution about trying something like conformal coating a board in this setting. It is hard to work through and can beat up your iron. Lead free is great but sucks for working it into the joints. It just doesn't heatt the same. Even IPC build standards have explicit instructions about visual inspections of non leaded joints looking like shit.

If you are planning to coat the board, I would do outdoors as well. Extraction fans are great for general soldering but we use fume hoods for conformal coat. Just something to keep in mind.

I really would love to even test drive the keys or the layout but the price point is just absurd for these things. Anyone have a suggestion for someone wanting to jump into the ergo keyboard game?

The oblong dingus in the middle...

Hey! I never get name dropped. That's neat. Really great write up. This thing sounds bonkers and I love your word choices. Always a highlight of my day.

I did the same jump, the same way last year. I'm still daily driving Pop_OS! After a year. I went through much the same way when I can over from windows with program placement. Welcome to the club.

So a rich guy who can put on a mask and beat up the poor while advancing the arms race with criminals becoming more unhinged or a guy whose family was murdered and starts turning to vigilante justice and became what every cop wet dreams that they actually are?

....Sure. That'll help. /s
