Interest Checks / Re: [IC] GMK MTNU Honeywell | $99 Base Kit?!

I'd even be willing to make this an all-in-one Base Kit if that's what the community and vendors prefer.
*raises hand* Yes, please!

Noted ;D

I just want to clarify that my only goal was to make the Base Kit more affordable, since MTNU is generally more expensive and sells less than CYL.
It definitely wasn't about cutting support just because I felt like it that day, ahah

As I said, let's see how things evolve, and I'll make whatever changes end up making the most sense.

To keep numbers easy to understand.

The whole world is 100million barrel of oil (per day),

~30% of oil from the whole world is convertible to diesel, 7% into jet fuel. They draw on the same middle distillate.  We produce 30m diesel 7m jet.

Hormuz transits 25 million barrels of oil, 50-60% is middle-distillate, UNIQUELY suitable for diesel. Unlike 'Murikan sweet crude which yields high for plastics and gasoline, poorly for diesel.

This is also why america is not energy independent, it has to imports lots and lots of crude oil to MAKE DIESEL.

There is no substitution, oils are not all the same. Refinery configurations also CAN NOT CHANGE, you're talking YEARS to a Decade of modification.

12.5m hormuz oil made into diesel+jet

12.5m out of 37m is 33.8%.

Hormuz is responsible for 33.8% of the world's diesel+jet.

After our "murika super Epi ( smart foreign policy plan"

A virtually impossible mid-east Miracle recovery tops out at 45% for the next decade->forseeable future. (Kpler study)

So, you got .55*12.5 = 6.875m lost barrel, 6.875/37 = 18.59% barrel of the world's diesel+jet is GONE,


so 18.59% contraction in world diesel+jet supply is the IMPOSSIBLE BEST CASE.

You throw in inefficiencies, Delays, restarts, forever-wars, politics politics politics.


You're looking at something like 20-25% of diesel supply loss.

This is a big deal. as DIESEL has an extremely Outsized Impact on the Economy and supply chain..


You take the impact of a "butterfly effect" event,  turn that into a sledge hammer the size of 20million barrels of oil, AND ask,   WAHT is the Economi, going to LOOK LIKE?



E(onoP4 remarks/  rough surfaces, ahead.

Ep4 used low estimates of the oil transit. The real impact is probably EVEN Higher.

Interest Checks / Re: [IC] SWG Neowell - GB has started (July 6th to July 27th)
« Last post by Bobatype on Thu, 09 July 2026, 09:08:30 »
Sorry for late update to this IC thread, but for anyone keeping an eye on this project, the groupbuy has already started!
GB will end July 27th. ETA of keycaps is Q4 2026.
The SP colour chips for matching have been sent to SWG already.
I'll post and cross-link a GB thread soon.


Kits






The final kitting is as above, with adjustments to make the base kit pricing as lean as possible whilst offering as much coverage for the typical enthusiast (including even a 6u spacebar in addition to the Alice bars).
You'll note that the base kit's ANSI 'Enter' keys feature the legend 'Transmit' as a homage to the original terminal keycaps. Other references are inserted into the extension/novelty 'Neo' kit , which also has the 5-key 40s keys, accent arrow keys, accent alice bars and grey Enters. Cyrillic sublegends on the alpha kit are all double-shot too (even the UK-specific R3 alphas).

New deskmats in Cutting Mat style are featured here in both metric and imperial systems.





Cutting mat themed deskmats aren't a new concept, but it felt like a good match. I unashamedly took inspiration from multiple cutting mats and refined/combined it to my personal aesthetic preference. If people are interested, I could explore other colour variants in the future too.

Any recommendations?

I dunno about the choice of letting the right side be a mirror of the left. Intuitively, I think making the left side be a mirror of the right feels better. But to each their own.
We tried this design from the start and even made a prototype, but its typing feel is far too different from regular
