another group buy with no ortholinear

amazing! even after a tiring day at work, I run into this just before I go to bed, and even if the thread doesn't wake me up, it intrigues me enough to keep me reading at a time when I would really be falling asleep otherwise. But does it basically mean that the best lasered keycaps can be more last...

I have been getting this (or something similar) everyday for the past month.

Hi,
I am interested in your free Chinese Alps, as I am taking Chinese next year.
Just a question, does buyer payshipping on free stuff?
Thanks!

later...

Thanks for your time, but I cannot pay the shipping cost.

I have been too busy to get much involvement in the forum recently, but I cannot resist this...
I loved the first movie and am looking forward to seeing the second reboot soon!

Move to USA where you can buy a bigger house for a cheaper price. Nah, Singapore real estate is ridiculous, but still affordable compared with San Frans... I've lived in the USA, I've lived in a ghetto, I know that you guys have sky high crime rates where everyone knows someone who got shot or mugg...

I once had a conversation with a black man who claimed the Homan Square thing. We were in a Greyhound Bus. Back then I really was not that keen on talking to this man, so I did the polite fixed smile thing and kinda shut off my brain. He may also have been exaggerating, with talk of cattle prods and...

That's really great for you but: - The buyer protection PayPal offers is important for alot of people joining GBs these days. - Banks will try to make another few ‰ through the currency conversion. Paypal will charge my CC directly in USD and their conversion rate is very good. OK, so how did Paypa...

Uhm ... It is super complicated. And you're supporting that with your statement. Your bank can basically charge you what they like and very few people here picked their bank by the conditions for international money transfers or are willing to open another account at a bank with better condition. S...

Jeez they flagged you as a scammer too? What the hell I thought this was to prevent money laundering. If that was their concern they wouldn't let you receive any more money! :evil: I hope you can resolve this. Is there any way you can use the forums as a way to verify yourself? I don't think PP doe...

You guys won't believe how dishonest pp is. AFTER flagging me as a scammer, they allowed other people to pay me.

Dear Fellow Geeks I am going to offer an unprecedented keyboard giveaway in a few days. But first, listen to my rant… I am emotionally exhausted. There has been an unrelenting series of disasters in my household recently, ranging from a collapsing glass door that hurt my wife, to a ‘new’ house that ...

At this point I may just have to cancel my moving sale, or at least cancel the paypal part. Anyway I can't move. 'New' house is in a mess. I am suing my contractors. I am fed up. Anyone wants to buy from me, welcome to use bank transfer and bargain aggressively. I don't want my stuff to go back into...

I don't understand. Paypal is very aggressive against potential scams. How would anyone dare to try and scam you when you've just paid by paypal? You can just file complaint easy peasy on paypal, say keyboard is not as described, and they will take sides with you. I am ranting because I just got acc...

I am doing my moving sale. Knowing how paypal can screw people over suddenly, I have been very reluctant to accept paypal payments. But most people insist on paypal, so I realized it was impossible to run a moving sale unless I accepted paypal. I have barely collected $1k USD to date and they have l...

I don't have time to go into my usual lengthy political talk, but this needs to be seen. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/15/opinion/chicagos-racist-cops-and-racist-courts.html?_r=0 It's really disturbing that such obvious racist practices are still around in 2016. And it's the courts, not the securit...

I am having a lot of trouble finding the colored leads in the larger sizes, particularly the 0.9mm size, these days. I don't use too much of them, but they are getting scarce as fewer and fewer people actually do construction drawings with pencils. I have enough 0.5mm red lead for at least a year, ...

I use red and blue leads, which are more flexible and weaker, so larger sizes are even more important. I have a 3.75 kg keyboard, too. OH darn, you are even more amazing than I thought. I don't see red and blue leads around much in the market. But your keyboard can't be 3.75kg. You use a Model F-12...

sigh. why am I reading this when I am so busy?

I could never stop my viewing of keyboard porn

big applause to viva!

Fohat is one beast of a man. 0.9mm?

I have never seen a 0.9mm on sale before. If I had, I would have bought it. 0.5mm always break on me.

The cost in injection-moulding is not the materials, but the The properties of aluminium depends on which alloy you use. Some alloys of aluminium are harder than some alloys of steel. Anodizing on aluminium - aluma - is harder than any aluminium alloy. Thanks for the technical info Findecanor. When...

full sized case into a new SSK case Much easier said than done, in my experience. Hehheh fohat, these are kids who don't know what they are getting themselves into. When I got my super duper dremel 4000 I went all crazy and made a couple of destroyed M casings just to experiment. Indeed, easier sai...

I had a good laugh at the responses.

Then it started going into Twilight Zone territory.

between andrewjoy and chyros, I don't know what to say.

How about you guys avoid all that hassle, and just use your underwear as the toilet paper? You can always buy disposables.

just my comment: another good work by JDCarpe.

I just love that man.

I will take the risk. I am all open to other cultures and ideas but some things are just better, this is one of them. Like chopsticks vs knife and fork , chopsticks make sense for some things like sticky rice , noodles and share platters of spring rolls or something for this type of food they are s...

If I am not mistaken XMIT was thinking about making aluminum cases. But berserkfan specifically asked about plastic. Black ABS does not yellow. White ABS does not have to yellow; there are chemicals that can be added that prevent the yellowing. We have a plastic manufacturing company here in town, ...

I have been very bothered by the rules here limiting the size and number of photographs, as well as their inability to upload everything in one shot... So here's a Photo of the Day. Taken with my usual incompetence, so there is a shiny mark from the flash. I know it's gonna make people talk. But wha...

OK, I just got this idea, so am throwing it out for public discussion. I have kids. Kids have lego. Kids spend a lot of time building amazing things with lego. I like PBT. PBT can't be moulded for large things like keyboard casing because it is too rigid. I also own some Tipros. Tipros have modular ...

I agree with the inferior quality of Unicomp stuff; I got rid of mine real fast after discovering that Unicomp casing plastic (no matter what it is), will yellow. It's really disgusting. On many Cherry MX keyboards the stock keycaps will yellow because they are worse than the casing, but with Unicom...

Hang on a second guys.

Ltrac drivers conflict with Kensington. You can't use them together on the same computer. (At least, I couldn't.)
