Look no further than the SWING RIOTS, where disgruntled plebs smashed up England's Threshing machines (wheat) and left a calling card post deed signed "Captain Swing."   

The riots brought wealthy landlords to their knees, they had to reduce rent/tithes and increase wages. Social reform.

When a David fights a Goliath, David's got nothing to lose.  It's always the case that DESTRUCTION is economical vs CONSTRUCTION.

So when it comes to Attrition, unless you have a 10^9999 advantage,  Even something 10000x smaller can emit crippling damage.

Think about it this way, A BEE STING can Kill-some-people. A person is 281,540 x the mass of a BEE.

Asymmetrical Warfare.


1r 3nto's retaliation on qa trr's oil fields, caused 5 Billion in damages, + 20 Billion in ANNUAL lost revenue, projected repair time 5 years.

So, with $200000 worth of weapons, they caused $105,000,000,000 worth of damages.


Iren t0 situation is the Nation-State version of Captain Swing.

NE update on this …  ;D


hopefully this will run soon? :D

Happy to say! Yes, very soon! Expect end March to mid April! ;D

Just saw the sound tests on the ketchsofficial Twitch stream. Please don't eliminate Graphite from the GB! That's the colorway I was planning to get  :)) I think it looks great with both OEM beige and also black caps  :thumb:

Unfortunately, Graphite will drop as there are consistent anodisation defects when we went with darker colorway due to very large piece of alu according to the manufacturer and they do not recommend doing darker colorway. On the bright side, we will announce more colorways including dyed pc soon!  :p

good enough welcome back noxary

Welcome back xondat, but if I already paid for the XRF should I pay again for this one?

JK looks sick, I want the silver one (just like the XRF I paid for!)

Just to be clear, I am a victim of xondat as well  :'(

It looks sick.
Please give a MX pcb option for us MX normies  :-[

Very sorry, MX support is not pursued, but plate file will be released in the future for user to edit. I have seen aftermarket MX pcb for Realforce r1, but never tried them myself.

Hi, quick question about the 6u spacebar:
what stabilizer wire spacing does it use?

 5u stab wire (like DCS Pingmaster) or 6u stab wire (like GMK sets)?

In the course of rereading The Colditz* Story, I came across the following description of a certain Polish card game:


Quote
There was also a card game for two players which we learnt from the
Poles, called ‘Gapin’, which means, in Polish, ‘a person who looks but does
not see’! The term applied well to the game, for it was one in which many
cards lay face upwards on the table. These cards could be made use of,
provided a player held certain corresponding cards in his hand. The open
cards were continually changing, so that concentration and quick thinking
were necessary.

The game was aggravating, for after finishing a turn an opponent could
promptly make good use of a card overlooked. It was so exasperating a game
that I have known friends not to be on speaking terms for days because of
humiliation and wounded pride involved in the showing up of an opponent’s
obtuseness. Rupert Barry and I had a running ‘Gapin Contest’ with high
stakes in Lagergeld which ended with the payment, after the war, of a fat
cheque—to Rupert!


The author of the book appears to have gotten the name of the game muddled, as a search for a card game called "Gapin" doesn't yield a thing.  Would someone be kind enough to solve the mystery based on the above description?



Haha, OK, first of all, there is no such word in Polish language like Gapin :D
Correct word is gapa - someone who looked at something but missed it/didn't see it, overlooked it.

So card game you are looking for is Gapa, or "game of gapa". Its a kids card game, but of course adults can play it too :)
if you’re coming from newer boards, the biggest thing people usually underestimate is just how different older/vintage stuff feels in daily use. not just switches, but layout quirks, mounting, even sound profile. you can kinda see it in other GH threads too—people get excited, then realize adapting long-term isn’t always as smooth as expected
