You might be in luck! This post seems to indicate you’ll be able to do a ‘late pledge’: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/745810196/deep-rock-galactic-high-quality-mugs-50cl/posts/4339171

• For people who have NOT participated during the campaign but still want to participate now: The late pledges are coming. You will NOT be paying extra compared to other backers and you will have access to every item and reward packs advertised.

We’re currently in the process of setting this all up.

@jabathekek@sopuli.xyz Did you hear back about the quote request?

Right now, I have a cron job set to run on Monday and Friday nights, is this too frequent?

Only you can answer this. How many days of data are you prepared to lose? What are the downsides of running your backup scripts more frequently?

‘The Hague Invasion Act’

While I was looking for a Christ the Redeemer keycap (posted pic in another comment) I came across another statue keycap that is even pointier than the one in the original post:

source: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1830835231/statue-of-liberty-keycap3d-printing

It looks like someone has done it at some point! Though with a blocky head and in bronze colour for some reason. It turned up in image results and looks like it is from a deleted Etsy listing, so it’s not available any more.

There’s plenty of Christ the Redeemer 3D models available (eg. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3636051), which should be pretty easy to adapt to keycap for anyone who can do 3D modelling.

The same company actually sells two other licensed 40k keycaps that would be quite impractical, just not as much as the statue. The two pointy helmets make the other helmets and the macrocannons look comfortable by comparison.

That would be awesome 😆

EDIT: This fucker developed a short within like an hour of my closing the case back up. Now I have to either use my multi-meter to learn the entire 130-key matrix, or I have to desolder all the switches and kill the calculator function to turn the board into a hand-wired custom, though that would allow the left side function keys to be different from the top-row ones. Sigh.

Damn it! From a historical preservation perspective I hope you try to restore the original electronics, but I realise that could be a lot of hassle. Good luck whatever route you choose!

Why would you event need a mouse with that many arrow keys!?

I still gotta get a tape player

Sincere question: Why? They sound terrible, and get worse over time. Is there any reason to use them? Aren’t they just generating plastic waste at this point?

The article says:

To me the reasoning is simple, local bands make tapes, it’s easy to put your own music on them, and to share them with friends.

But all of these apply equally to Bandcamp or any other way of sharing digital files, or even CDs (I can’t imagine it’s meaningfully easier to churn out copies of cassettes than CDs).

I suppose, though, that if local bands are making them - whatever their reasons - then that’s reason enough for a listener to use the format. I also guess if people are getting second-hand tapes, then that’s not generating new plastic waste, and there’s probably stuff to that’s not available digitally in any format.

Anyway, I was watching this video recently - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DWtkSVNvTg - and it was quite interesting, but I’ve been wondering since then why people would use tapes.

Very obviously, how are people taking this seriously?

Somehow I’ve gone until now without noticing we don’t have a general ‘Australian Sport’ comm 😆
