I am now riding my bike to work, which will save me £80+ each month compared to the bus. I can just about afford it. But I'm split as hell. Cuz it's a hell of a lot of cash to spend on a goddamn gamble, I'm looking at being 250£ deep on a gamble 
Idk, maybe I'll just drink more of my martini and do it on impulse
Congrats on the purchase, I'm typing on mine right now
Just don't look at your current bank account balance and you'll be fine and dandy. Since we're talking about alcohol though, pick up some 1738 remy martin! Love that stuff.
What vodka? Grey goose?DerpyDash_xAD wrote: banks gonna get another hit when I have to pay import taxes on it, antoher £40 on top :'( that said, i've also got new nibs for my wacom coming tomorrow, which will be nice. why i cant get a damn hhkb on prime.... :'( lmao
as I understand it, that stuffs really nice brandy? I generally drink whatever's cheap unless it's vodka, I can cope with cheap vermouth/whisky/gin etc but cheap vodka terrifies me. Russian standard is the cheapest i'll drink. I like a finer whisky, but i haven't got the cash and i'm perfectly happy to drink cheap stuff lmao
Drinking red wine honestly makes me feel like my throat is being ripped apart, absolutely vile stuff. White wine feels a bit thinner and lighter so I'll happily drink that. Definitely try and get a nice aged champagne for christmas, it's the most pleasant way of getting pissed!DerpyDash_xAD wrote: I'm not huge on the champers personally, I don't mind the stuff but I can't imagine paying that much for anything of that ilk... that said, i've never had a particularly expensive/nice brand of chapagne either. so maybe it's just limited experience. one thing i raellly can't get a taste for is red wine, it's just too dry. I enjoy the flavour but the texture kills it for me..
yeah, that's exactly what i think of red wine. if not for that feeling i'd lvoe the stuff. but i can't understna people who chug a red and then say vodka is undrinkable bhahahahahhawobbled wrote:Drinking red wine honestly makes me feel like my throat is being ripped apart, absolutely vile stuff.

My favourite drink of all time is a 2006 dom perignon, but a Louis Roederer Cristal Brut 2006 isn't far behind and as a slightly cheaper option you can't go wrong with Moet Imperial brut. Have fun getting wasted on overpriced alcohol mate, it's good fun until you wake up poorDerpyDash_xAD wrote:yeah, that's exactly what i think of red wine. if not for that feeling i'd lvoe the stuff. but i can't understna people who chug a red and then say vodka is undrinkable bhahahahahhawobbled wrote:Drinking red wine honestly makes me feel like my throat is being ripped apart, absolutely vile stuff.

i may go split on a nice chapgne for xmas with my dad, i think he'd like that, got any buying advice?
Keep it and use it whenever you can. If you can use it daily, do it, otherwise just use it on occasion when you do Vim/Tmux or use macOS as it's very nice on HHKB.
It is generally how things work in the US - I like it but it is sometimes badly exploited.
190 w/o tax.. it hurts but it's a new one, and i've heard great things. also martinis.wobbled wrote: Honestly my dad has never even turned on a computer before so kudos to your dad for having good taste in boards, even if matias are supershit for their QC. How much did you pay for the hhkb pro 2 btw? You missed an excellent deal on one for £130 on ebay (black model) I would've bought it had I not been so poor at the time thanks to having to fix my car.
I love my small boards, my daily driver is a pure pro. I'm not too worried about life span, at the end of the day, that just means an excuse to buy anotherczarek wrote: Yes, not a question.
And keep it because even if you eventually sell it you will want it again
I'm on my second HHKB right now and it's not my daily driver any more. Used to be when I used OS X as my primary OS (believe it or not I used it primarily for 11 years), then I kept it as a main keyboard when I was still mostly doing Unix devel in Vim/Tmux, but nowadays while it's totally useless in Windows and Visual Studio (with Vim plugin offcourse, but still), I prefer more conventional layouts (standard fullsize ANSI actually). I still keep it though. Getting one in Europe takes a lot of effort, measured in time and money. You have to pay a lot for keyboard, shipping, import duties, and wait for weeks for it to be delivered, so just get it, and keep it
Oh and also, whatever people around here say, they don't last forever. My first one was very worn when I sold it. Some keys like left CMD, FN, J, K, and E were so worn they were almost linear, very light and a bit mushy, a bit like pinky (35G) keys on variable weighted Topre board. Not that important to know before you buy it, but definitely worth to keep in mind.
both right hand drive countries you know, we are basically the same already. Oh my god that would literally be perfect, cheap topres and mazdas. What more could you possibly want in life?DerpyDash_xAD wrote: alright, it's on its way, some time between now and the 3rd august it will appear on my doorstep (metaphorically) and i will be hit with a huge bill (goddamn import taxes)
with this whole brexit lark, the uk should start a free trade deal with japan. HHKBs and Mazda mx5s for cheap!

Really a shame that Hasu is not planning to make one for the FC660M..
He would be helping a lot of people and opening up that market for sure...
