Last time I went to the one in St Paul the pianist was doing Steely Dan covers and it was awesome

Gamey is exactly how I would describe the sample I tried

I had it when I was in China in 2015. It's not that good. Chicken, pork, or beef are way better.

The worst thing I've encountered with contacts is when they tear in half in your eye and you remove one part but struggle to find and remove the other half. That's happened to me a few times.

Balrogs, being spirits of fire, seem like a natural enemy to a creature of pure darkness

If memory serves I believe Balrogs are beings of fire, shadow, and darkness. I thought their "wings" were a mix of fire and smoke that they exuded and which Tolkien described as them being cloaked in it.

Agreed. Also the article makes it clear Thom Yorke disavowed Netanyahu back in 2017. Thom Yorke has always struck me as a lefty, so it wouldn't surprise me if he's spoken out against the war on Gaza more recently too.

Whether he and Radiohead should totally write off performing in Israel entirely is worthy of debating I think. But some random Aussie interrupting their Australian show is somewhat of a bummer for the other attendees who likely paid an arm and a leg for tickets, and many ppl who go to concerts do so to have fun and forget about the world's ailments for an evening.

Same, though I also wash my face again before bed

 

Hello fabulous fellow keeb enthusiasts! I have this really cool custom split ergo keyboard called a Dark Matter, and I think only 10 or so were made. I love typing on it, but I'm getting double inputs and the LEDs on the left side only work intermittently. Do you have any suggestions on how I could try to fix those issues? Do you think I need to resolder both PCBs entirely, just certain key switches, and/or all the LEDs? Reseating its teensy controllers did not fix the issue, for example.

Unfortunately the person who made these is not providing support for them so I'm on my own on this one.

Here's a reddit post I made 5 years ago when I first ran into these issues:

I'd appreciate any advice you can offer, thanks so much!

 

Hello all! I wanted to briefly share my experience modding my Steam Deck OLED, should it be of use for anyone else!

Here are the pics

It seems like most replacement button sets are fully compatible with the Steam Deck OLED, except for the triggers/shoulder buttons and replacement trackpad covers. The shells are compatible but I did not want to remove my screen + adhesive to do the front shell, so I just did the back. I did have to trim the silicone piece that the volume buttons connect to to get it to fit.

The gulikit hall effect joysticks that specifically mention Steam Deck OLED compatibility were easy to install and calibrate by running thumbstick_cal in desktop mode, and whether it is just placebo or not, they definitely feel more precise than stock!

I did not do extensive before/after thermal testing, since many people have done that before. I did repaste the APU with Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Extreme as well since I had to remove the heatsink to get access to replace the power button

Here are the products I used:
