I hope people do the right thing and shop less.

Sorry, I don't see how the right thing to do is shop less.  Can you elaborate?  This is quite off topic, but I'm also quite curious.

It's bad legislation which hurts consumerism, is anti-business and was passed during a national economic recession as well as a then 40 billion dollars and change state deficit. One way or another, it also ends up hiking taxes.

Obviously the situation may be different over here than it is in the US but in Wales/most of Europe/England (soon) the idea is that if people have to pay for bags they will be less inclined to get more (plastic) bags when they don't need them. We have a fairly big landfill problem over here, partly caused by the vast amount of plastic bags people get through as they never reuse them. I don't think our governments are aiming to save any money from people not using more bags than they need as it is the shops that provide them but rather, the issue is an environmental one. With paper bags there would be less of an issue as they're biodegradable but we don't really get those over here for some reason.

You can't tell US is in recession if you watch Classifieds in GH.

This pretty little thing.

Epson HX-40.  I'm hoping it has MX or Alps compatible caps.  If it doesn't, it's still a cool little piece of history.



It also doesn't hurt that I scored it super cheap.

Are you charged for plastic bags?

They don't exist at the checkout anymore. Some places have paper bags that they usually charge for, but plastic isn't hip anymore. Some parts of CA aren't affected by the ban, but it's hit my hometown. Now I have to buy trash bags : ' [

They have been banned here in Huntington Beach as well. I just give them a buck and buy 10 of the heavy duty plastic bags they sell for 10 cents. Which basically makes the problem worse as the new thick bags will probably take 5 times longer to break down.

Well, if you lived here in Costa Mesa, you wouldn't have that problem.

I've seen that colour scheme somewhere recently!

I spent a little too much recently but I've got a few things coming to me:

First off today my f2 red and historic blue clacks should be arriving
 The Key to FREEDOM.jpg (19.09 kB - downloaded 91 times.)

Next I'm getting this awesome keyset from geekkeys thanks to feng!
 DSC_4155__95758.1405732992.1280.1280.jpg (32.4 kB - downloaded 86 times.)

Then I ordered the neon Genesis Evangelion platinum edition box set. My wallet hurts after this one.


And finally I have an emerald warmaster and lavendar armor cap from martinyeah that should come next week.

Btw, in case you couldn't tell, I may have a slight interest in Evangelion. But only barely.

Tried to edit but couldn't figure out how to get those two images to show.

Thanks!   I just hope my wallet can forgive me for spending so much this week.

DOOOD

what a ****ing find

[nubbinator]

I don't post all my cool eBay finds in Great Finds

I've got my fingers crossed.  I'll be sad if it isn't.  If it is, I got it at an absolute steal, even with the mangled PS/2 cable.

[Puddsy]

No, that's a model M alright

I saw one on reddit a few weeks ago

[nubbinator]

I saw one on Reddit with a more rounded lip that was found at an estate sale, was there another?  This one looks more like the one at ClickyKeyboards I linked to.  I was so happy no one else found it and bid on it.  I have two awesome pieces of history in the mail now with the Epson computer and this AT&T buckling spring.

[Puddsy]

I've seen at least 2 or 3 in the past, so I'm pretty sure it's legit.

All I know is that it's RARE AS BALLS

[jacobolus]

RARE AS BALLS? I've seen a few of these on ebay in the last few months, for not outlandish amounts of money.

Is the goal just to have a model M with italic keycap legends?

[nubbinator]

I also have a set super cheap Royale Beta 8100 MX compatible doubleshots with keyboard the in the mail.  Confirmed to be MX ABS doubleshots here.  One more in my typewriter cap arsenal.

I've only really seen the non-buckling spring AT&T keyboards on eBay lately.  Some were potentially BS, but most I've seen have been rubber dome or membrane.

Nah, just to have an uncommon piece of history.  They have a different build to them than the Model M, have a different controller, and so on.  And for the price I paid, I won't feel bad if I decide to play around with it and accidentally kill it.

Waiting on my Gold Ducky S3 w/greens which I should see by the 16th.

I don't understand the concept of rare balls.
What sort of ball are these?
Old balls?
Mothballs?
Mythical balls?
HHKB balls?
Dragon balls?
