Are you really going to interact with the ads though? If you’re going there to cause discord you’re not going to see an ad and go “Oh! Cool I’ve been meaning to try thing that’s as close to a scam as legally allowed” or it literally is just an outright grift. Plus because of that the percentage of interactions on the ads is going to drop hard, meaning now Reddit is a worse place to stick your ads because there’s not a lot of engagement with them.
Designing and building mechanical keyboards. Over the pandemic I asked the dumb question to my group of friends who are engineers “Hey how do keyboards work? You think I can build one from scratch?” One of my friends is a electrical engineer and I’m a computer engineer so basically we had both skillsets needed to build and design everything from scratch. The only “out of the box” thing we used was the firmware but that was based on an open source firmware (QMK) but we had to contribute to the project to get our keyboards to work. The PCB was custom, the case was custom and 3d printed on my own 3d printer.
I’ve been using the keyboard we built for over two years and it’s worked flawlessly (unless I’m messing with the firmware). There’s things I would have done differently but that’s what this current rendition is but now kinda off the walls because why not.
What a photogenic cutie!
I’ve been really digging Corvus Coffee specifically their Dead Reckoning espresso blend.
It’s been really good for lattes in the morning and making japanese iced coffee in the afternoon (sub half your water by weight in ice in your brewer carafe, and just brew onto the ice with the remaining half of the water halving the pour weights).
Japanese iced coffee!
- Take half your total pour over water weight and put that amount of ice in the bottom of the Chemex.
- Grind the usual amount of coffee for your Chemex brew.
- Brew with whatever method you usually do but half the water weight for each pour (so you end up with the same amount of water as usual when you add the ice)
Instantly cold but full strength because the ice doesn’t water it down when it melts!
I usually do the 4:6 method when brewing pour over. Yeah it’s older but I feel I get a more consistent cup even when I’m half asleep making it. Allowing most of the water to drain between pours seems to help with that. I’ve also done some wet WDT if the brew seems to stall to help make sure I meet my target brew time.
Packt publishing is some of the worse material I’ve ever had the misfortune to have to use. The books don’t make sense, they just seem to churn out material that isn’t even edited properly or examples aren’t even vetted to work properly without having to know what errors to fix. Getting a good book from them is a rarity not the norm unlike someone like O’Reilly. Save your money and don’t buy anything from them.
