Just curious, does anyone know why the Return key is on the right-hand side of the keyboard when the mechanical carriage return lever is on the left? No objection, just wondering about the original reason.

I don't know myself, but I wonder if the answer lies somewhere in the Shift Happens book.

Keyboards / Best Topre keyboard

What do you think, which topre keyboard is the best?
Typing, visual estetics, everything. But most important typing feel.

Thoughts on Steam Machine?

I think it could revolutionize transportation and industrial production...
But I fear it will threaten the horse-carriage industry and skilled manual labor :(

Serious mode ON
A small black box that can play PC games, but has the convenience of a console, and a price somewhere in between? Great!

If it wasn't clear who are the bad guys at this point

UN declaration vote, that Slavery is Wrong. The abstainers and the vote against, telling no?


(Attachment Link)

This wasn't a vote as to if "slavery was wrong."

It was, among other things, a vote to categorize the historic african slave trade as the "gravest crime against humanity" and to prepare pathways to various forms of reparations. Such reparations seem like another classic opportunity for UN affiliate NGOs and the like to defraud taxpayers, profiting off our empathetic societies without ever making any substantial contribution to the welfare of these African nations, which is probably why so many nations abstained or voted against it.

I'd also like to point out that actual slavery is still taking place in countries like Eritrea and Mauritania- member nations who nevertheless voted in favour of this agenda item..  :rolleyes:

I think I'm in for this - I have the SP SA set (hard to miss that one, it was a must have indeed) but there are not so many violet sets around.

Amazing.

Any chance you could do “Back” instead of “BS”?

I'd love to - I know the history of the BS legend but prefer Back myself. It would be two new keys (row 1, and row 2 for 40s), and I don't know if the price impact would be worth it or not. I'd also prefer "Return" instead of "Enter," but I know that doesn't yet exist in all the necessary sizes.

I also prefer Return, as the original action on a mechanical typewriter was to return the carriage to the left side of the paper to start a new line. However, Enter makes sense on the numpad.

Just curious, does anyone know why the Return key is on the right-hand side of the keyboard when the mechanical carriage return lever is on the left? No objection, just wondering about the original reason.
