Group Buys and Preorders / Re: [GB] KAT Great Wave (大浪)
« Last post by CandyKeys on Mon, 15 June 2026, 10:14:35 »I'm excited to report that the lead vendor/proxy for manufacturer, has confirmed that Candykeys has sent them the outstanding payment for KAT Great Wave
The warehouse has been notified, and they are in the process of preparing to ship the keycaps to the relevant shipping forwarder before it makes it way to EU.
It has been a long time coming, but I suppose it is better late than never.
I'm apologetic and thankful for the unfathomable amount of patience for all those affected by this.
People still use Geekhack?
Yes, and designers still design stuff, go figure
Kind of nuts to be honest
Not many though. Maybe 5% of the people who were around during COVID are still around, but hey, at-least its all delivered and things are well. I just wish people stopped getting hosed on GBs.43

Some problems.
The China (Machine) is already built, AND, It's hooked up to Rv55n' Nergy.
Our Western (Machine) is not yet built, AND, we Just blew up a huge chunk of its energy pipelines/ contracts / political handshakes.

Having children has become a decision of women and by women.
Today, if a woman doesn't want to have children she won't have children.
The big question is: "Why don't women want to have children any more?"
Obviously Economics. Why is this even questioned, it's a solved question.
A Developing economy's Farmer's children benefits him precisely because he gets the labor input.
A Developed economy's "Citizen's" children predominantly benefits THE STATE and its Oligarchs.
