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.

Is numpad enter being the same green as the rest of the set an intentional choice? I remember previous runs using a more minty color.

Tend to agree. No Iran deal can work without US disengaging from Israel.

Sat in chair most of yesterday.

This morning woke up to hip pain, the pointy part right in front of lower back.

No idea. Chairs are bad indeed.

Future Production Ecnomy.

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.

Asssssuming the MOU holds.

Tp4 would say, 60/40, favoring holds.

The economic collapse,   on the surface, the bailout is already happening in full swing right now given the stock pumps.

But long run, we've destroyed roughly 15% of world energy production, they were literally blown up, it's done.   This effect will be far excess of 15%.

> 15% physical reduction (already locked, it's gone)
> 20-25% mechanical production "scaling loss"  a $1500 pc vs a $1200 pc,  Night and day difference in performance.
> Any conceivable repairs to oil/gas are 5+ years out. Do we think (the economy) can wait that long..
> 0% Confidence for middle-ezse investment, you might build a refinery in UAE last year, but WOULD YOU EVER AGAIN, now that you see what can happen in the region, when refineries are 20-30 year investments, and might not turn a profit until Year 15.
> 0% Confidence in safety,  if you were an Oil/Gas engineer, would you take your family and move there? you might a year ago, enjoy the brothels/drugs, but today, when NE moment now, bombs could be flying, and they hosed the airport, and people couldn't leave, with NO running water in the middle of a desert?

declining birthrate numbers 
declining birthrate numbers

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.

So, there's the news going "It's over..." etc etc.  MOUuuu

HOPEFULLY, yea.


But understand this, we had an "MOU" sort of thing with Obermr, and D vm pp just tore it up.  How can he do this, because these agreements aren't in the least binding.


What is going to happen now is, isr3v3333 + 'mrururuiKa is going to find every-way possible to restart the war. If not this year, then every year after.

Why is war going to be ever more likely,  Because,  for several generations now, i srev 333ttt's has been educated SPECIFICALLY to become the most racist and most ideological genocidal blue-Maga on the planet.

This produced the illusion "for them" that they are owed exactly #1 empire, they believe they run "the world." and it's their "manifest destiny" to do such and such, You know the drill,  they're that type of people, very ur00pean.


Why's that a problem, well, Because technology has made old-style military conquest IMPOSSIBURoooo.

The most expensive military equipment on the planet eart, were TESTED FULLY in the last few months, and guess what, they failed, F35 = Trash, Aircraft carrier = Trash, C130 = Trash, Military-Capitalism = TRASH.

Wars are fought BECAUSE of capitalism, but they CAN NOT be WON using Capitalism, it usually gets so bad, that the society AS did the US, mind you, in the big wars, REVERT to SOCIALISM,  to produce, the REAL Guns/Butter.

You can't go to an arms manufacturer and ask him, how much for a bullet, he'll tell you $10 per bullet.  NO WARS were ever won that way.

The only wars that were ever won,  You go to the arms manufacturer, Hold a knife to his throat, tell him, Give-me-10000-bullets-for-$10. If you can't do it, you die.



So, here's the issue now, we are seeing a RAPID proliferation of Liberation Democracy Technologies out of (hyna.  They are sending this stuff everywhere.

WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS!!!    Because they are by far the STRONGEST industrial base on the planet. 2nd place isn't even close.

When, (hayna is selling $billions in Shoulder-Fire mi5 s1e, Long range Anti-Ship, TUNNEL boring technology,  Offering people open use of 0.5meter satellites,

It makes WINNING conventional WARS impossible,   it MAKES the very very expensive US military definitively OBSOLETE.  And as our stuffs become obsolete, our overall "Extractive" empire whose system relies entirely on PLundering _The WOlrd_  Collapses.


In the last strike by irNnnt, they damaged/destroyed 12x F35 that were parked on base and a Very Secret, Very Xpensive Guidance radar system. #1, How did they even know they were there, #2, each F35 including the service contract costs around 350,000,000 (350 Million) Dollars to operate,  AND, they have a operational span of <100 hours before major maintenance steps are required, which take them out of rotation, basically the biggest pieces of **** technology the industry has ever produced. It's horrific.


And because this is all Capitalism, the contracts and corrupt parasitic relationship between military industrial and government are inexorably linked.

There's basically no way out of this spiral short of (ivi1 war.


This will get worse,  NOT better. (Super super unlikely)

Bernie Sanders, our only hope.


Forget AOC,  Even if she wins,  she'll either fall on her knees like Obamrr,  or they'll murder her day #1.

BUT TP4,  Obermrrr was a great president he was soooo For the People,  O-Rrllly ?  He gave the biggest handout ever to I 5 re333ltt.


So you see,  they've all bent the knee.
