Group Buys and Preorders / Re: [GB] F104+SSK+122+62+77+50+Ergo orders now open! Kishsaver+Industrial Model F
« Last post by callllll on Tue, 16 September 2025, 16:31:56 »
Hey all! Recieved my model F122, it's wonderful. Super well built and it looks stunning.

I do have one small issue - compared to either of my model M's, the keys are a bit scratchy, and even the 1U keys can be inconsistent/bind slightly with off-center key presses. I did not find any information in the manual regarding this behavior. I believe this is caused by the keycaps, as I do not have this issue if I install an original Model M key.

Any advice would be appreciated!

I have a groundbreaking idea: what if postal services could deliver parcels to your local, secure, high capacity, specially equipped... post office?

PO is far away by bus/foot, plus the wait is atrocious and their hours are inconvenient

My property has a secure locker area, but not all carriers use it. I especially notice SpeedPak and UniUni just leave your item at your doorstep instead of using the locker room. Usually anything from China gets poor treatment from start to end of its journey.

That is inaccurate.  When people quote the average age of death being 40 etc, from way back, that was due to extremely high infant mortality.

No! You are inaccurate...
The average live-expectancy for 99% of our existence was not 40 years, but more around 25 years...
I am well aware of infant-mortality-rates of old and ancient times. People who made it to adulthood, largely survived to age 40 or even 50, but not 80!



You clearly don't even understand how those statistics work.

Tp4 said "if you reached adult hood" which is ~20, you can live to 70-80 no problem.  The average life expectancy excluding infant mortality for someone who REACHED 20yrs of age is around 60.   

There are tranches for this type of data.  Please educate yourself.

People may die for many reasons, but it was NOT due to heart disease/ cancer until animal agriculture became industrialized.

The majority of people who reached adulthood, died at age 40-50, for 99% of our existence.
Out of the people who reached adulthood, only very few reached age 60, and almost none 70 or more, for 99% of our existence.
The majority of people that die of cancer or heat disease today are above 60 years old. The reason we get cancer is that we no more die at 40-50.
If we would die at 40-50 years of age from sepsis, murder, starvation like for 99% of our existence, almost no one would die of cancer or heart-disease.

Or, as calculation...

Life expectancy in ancient times and before: 20-30 according to most sources, let's use 25
Child mortality in ancient times and before: 30-40% according to most sources, let's use 35

(65 * L) / 100 = 25
65 * L = 2500
L = 2500 / 65 ~= 38.5

So, less than 40 years of age till death for people who made it beyond 20.
Not 60 years as you wrote. Not 80 years which is the average now.
Thus we DO live decades longer than what we were made for.
My statement was correct...

#1 and #2 cause of death is MOSTLY heart disease and cancer from eating MEAT.

What else should it be? There always has to be a cause of death...

Back in the day people died from sepsis, starvation or murder before they got old enough to get cancer.
As people get older, rates of cancer, strokes or dementia raise. Not surprising, but to be expected.
We were not build to live 70 or 80 years. We already exceed our Best-Before-Date by decades.

That is inaccurate.  When people quote the average age of death being 40 etc, from way back, that was due to extremely high infant mortality.  If you survived to adulthood, you live to 70-80 no problem.

And they didn't die of heart-disease, or cancer, it was mostly from communicable disease, or comorbidities+malnutrition.

Industrial animal agriculture, MEAT, is when heart disease/ cancer deaths exploded and became the norm..


The graph below shows when in WW2, the Nazis confiscated Norway's meat industry cows/sheeps/pigs for their army,

The rate of heart disease deaths dropped instantly and precipitously.  Then after the war, when the cows/sheeps/pigs were BACK on the menu, the heart disease rates climbed right back up.

Is it just me or does Const Long, Sscanf, Eof etc. in camel case feel super wrong?

You mean Pascal case? Either way, it's not like there's a convention, it's usually up to a team or company's style guide if anything at all. I do agree though that capitalizing functions especially is NOT something you would see in C code.

They did away with post offices where I live a long time ago. En****tification


Although the US Post Office was established in the Constitution as an important service, since the Reagan era the Republicans have been trying to kill it so that other "carriers" can cash in on delivery services.



The postal system will collapse long before we fix the porch pirate issue.  We're rapidly running out of fuel.  40% of all marine traffic is just OIL/GAS/FOSSIL shipments.

20 years. It will all seem like a dream then.
