E4:

The progress is in the right direction, but they've made the Mob-Crowd behave conveniently Too Smart or Too Dumb haphazardly AT WILL, whatever the situation requires.  That is hard to get with.

I will say I do love whatever the hell is happening with my Crypto portfolio. A lot of new millionaires will be minted in the next few months.

But again, the richer you are the more money you make back. More investment, less risk, more return. Capitalism really is a kinda broken system.

Every time Bitcoin has a run up or hits some high mark it craters as they pull the rug. You should be selling, not buying.



I read that Muskaswamy points to veterans' health care as a top choice to eliminate to save money.

Horrible as that is, it might help in the long run if were to turn the military against the MAGAs - their teeth could be blunted quite a bit.
If they do that, conscription/drafts  will be necessary and that will be what it requires to actually get attention.
They can't fill the ranks as it is between drugs, criminal records, obesity, politics, etc...  and with threats by Trump to deploy on home turf, it's going to be even more difficult. 

As for taking away V.A. care having an effect.
Few realize just how much of a ghost town the V.A. was for a while, Reagan killed of free V.A. care for life in the 80's and it was only Bush Jr who enabled some of us (combat vets only) to finally get care there (unless you were absolutely destitute). Biden added more (due to Gulf War Syndrome) and now it's very obvious who served in what war just by looking at people, the age difference is so great. So while you think this will sway people it really won't. It's not going to effect enough vets (vets are less than 1% of the population, and closer to 0.01% who actually use the V.A.), nor is there enough young adults capable and wanting to serve who will be swayed by enough by this to actually vote regarding it, unless it comes down to a draft, then suddenly people will care.

This is exactly why the V.A. was in the state it was in, it wasn't news worthy how rundown everything was and it didn't effect enough people, so it was an easy, safe place to make cuts. It still is. Truth is this country really doesn't care much about its vets, words and a few statues (for dead ones) is about the extent of it most of the time.  And if Reagan got away with gutting it, Trump can.


BTW,
I find it funny  how all these politicians tell you how bad socialized medicine is, when they themselves get it and I'm happy to report the V.A.,  at least mine, has been fantastic since they cleaned it up. I could only wish everyone got treated so well but it wasn't always that way.

So that everyone has both accent color options, please consider add two green accent keys: R2 1u ESC and R3 1.5u Enter

When I tweak the colors in the next set of renders, I'll add green accents. On the topic of novelties, I will have something done before the end of next week: adapting some dash symbols.


Does MTNU not support barred F and J?

I don't know, I simply have a preference for scooped.

Thanks for sharing the link. Just so you’re aware, the set isn’t appearing in the Mechanical Keyboards section on Drop, so it’s not possible to find it.

You can find it in "Newest" on Drop's home page.

Or set filters to Mechanical Keyboards/Keycaps, although it is pretty far down that list. The "sort by:" filter comes up set to "Recommended". Change it to "Newest" and it's the 8th on the list.

Or just search for "Flower".

I have to say, though, that the organization of Drop's site leaves much to be desired.

Thank you. It wasn’t there when I posted here but is now showing. I guess it takes a little time for their category page to update (no idea why but like you said their site leaves much to be desired!).


How great that it appears to you now ^^

The Vortex has too narrow borders and not a curved plate.

These look so cool, and I’m not much of a keyboard/keycap person. Do these work on a backlit keyboard? Or do they not illuminate?
I do not believe they illuminate, but I do not have any backlit keyboards. I mostly use Topre Realforce TKL keyboards.

The keycap is thick enough that I am not sure if any light would pass through it. I could be wrong though.

(Enlisted service that is, senior management already has a more judicious outlook.)

Yes, the new Model F is possibly the most luxurious available in-production complete keyboard. There are also the UNICOMP Model M keyboards.
