Where men goes to be men...?

or

Where solo loneliness has persisted and is actively enforced..



In anycase, their deals on hardware mains are unbeatable. Tp4's third favorite store after homedepot and harborfreight.

Got some m0ar fans today.


Y'all gone to microcenter ? :D

MicroCenter is my favorite store of all time, period.

For many years I lived a 15 minute drive from the one in Marietta, Georgia, and I bought tons of stuff there to build computers for myself and my kids, and bought their laptops there when they started college. Staff was always available and usually very knowledgeable and helpful.

MC never hesitated to stand behind their products and cheerfully replaced damaged or defective gear with few questions and no hassle - and my purchase history has always been on file with them so paper receipts were never even required. (my ex-wife has always been an Apple minion so she always lived in a different universe)

Even now, I still order the important stuff from them. Shipping is relatively cheap and very quick, and prices are very competitive.

How the hell or why did you become a DEMO-crat?” He asked.
“Long story, but it started with Nixon, then I was educated and know history as the Republicans are all about getting power to exploit it to their benefit, while Democratic politicians, for the most part, are for distributing things more equitably. I’ll finish with the overwhelming sociological and psychological evidence in studies that identify that conservatives see the world through inherent inequity where the elite or those who seek to be elite are superior to the commoners, and it is they who should lead. At the same time, liberals look at the world as inequality and seek to make the world more equitable, and that all should be represented. Ultimately, conservatives trust those in authority, while liberals inherently distrust those in authority to take advantage for themselves or their constituency.”
He looks up and says, “No one ever explained that to me, and then asks, “If **** Cheney thinks that Trump is that bad, then it's not about DEMO-crats vs Republicans, is it.”
I resume walking and then say, “Hey, you got it; it's the Democratic and old Republican parties versus Trumpism, which is American fascism aided by the Russians.”

Every real geek needs to make a pilgrimage to Microcenter at least once.

Just be prepared to spend more than you plan, not because it's expensive but because it's cheap and you will impulse buy.

Microcenter seems really cool, too bad it's us only.

There are some alright online shops with good deals here but I don't think that beats finding a good deal in a physical store

cherry blacks - unlubed - filmed and springswapped with tx 55g mediums - alu Plate | pretty happy with this, the blacks were cherry picked so they weren't that scratchy to begin with, but currently breaking them in, may lube them with a dry lube like ro59 or ptfe powder.

lubed with tribosys 3203 | like topre a lot, prefer it lubed but did make less tactile but that might have been a skill issue. probably will get more tactile over time as the domes age.

bad orange alps lol | definitely needs a restoration. planning on wax boiling them and maybe a replacement pcb because the board has only 2 key rollover apparently.

gateron yellows - lubed with 205g0 - 62g tx mediums - pc plate | probably my favourite keyboard already, feels super nice and sounds pretty good, it's got a great layout as well. probably gonna build this with mx browns, I feel like it would suit the board more.
| camo filco

stock with silent reds | Pretty cool looking board, the silent reds are actually good, they are smooth and I don't mind the mushiness (it's not even that mushy as well). the layout is pretty weird, but is useable. will probably mod this in the future. maybe a pcb and plate swap, change the keycaps to something dolch like, and also spring swap the springs in the silent reds.

stock, needs a cleaning and probably replacement foam. Do plan to change layout so it has split bs and rs, as well as ansi enter.

the first time i went was in Michigan, around an 8 hr drive. i went for the auto show in 2021 and i could not believe it was actually a real place. its like geek heaven its absolutely mindblowing... ive been twice since then and its always amazing, once in Indiana and once in New York City. unfortunately my nearest one is in Ohio which is still nearly a 4 hr drive

the only thing we have locally is Best Buy, which at this point is more of an appliance store with a few CPUs and prebuilt desktops
