Have you tried doing diving into stuff like handwiring or through hole projects?

I do have an extensive fountain pen collection... not quite handwriting.  Even researching urushi lacquer (used on higher end pens) can be pretty in depth.   Not sure what "through hole projects" are?  I don't actually want to increase my skill, just increase my knowledge.

Fair enough if you are just trying to learn more and not fulfilled by increasingly skillful projects.

Also through hole is like through hole components on keyboard pcbs (such as the mercutio keyboard, they do take more work (wouldn't say skill, if you know how to solder decently you should be fine) but I don't think those would help if you are just trying to increase knowledge. I do see them as more fun side projects that maintain more longevity in a hobby.

The hardest part about learning a new skill is not knowing what questions to ask to get the information needed to actually learn.

Finally! Really exited for this set, i need it on my keeb rn. Dolch GOATed. GLWIC!

Been listening to D'angelo's voodoo a lot. Such an incredible record from beginning to end. D'angelo's vocals are so passionate and smooth (just like the entire album), these instrumentals are very consistently good across the album but especially the percussion is so weighty and catchy to me (You combine questlove on the drums with the influence of J dilla apparently and that's a recipe for success) ,love how neo soul in general incorporates a lot of genres like jazz and hip hop (method man and redman are here too and on left and right they are so fun on that track) but here it feels like some of the best executions of these blends that neo soul is known for.

Would highly reccomend listening to it, probably one of my favourites of all time - Listen here

Also can I talk about the untitled (how does it feel) music video for second, is it really as sexual as people say it is. I see it as more of a intimate display, still involving the sexual aspect somewhat with those kinda weird body shots (actually that fits with that song really well...). Especially with D'Angelo's demeanor in that video I don't really get what the comments on the youtube reupload say it is. Regardless of that video it's such an incredible song.

God-damn masje, banger after banger. GLWIC
