which spacebars are convex? i know the small space bars are historically flat for DCS but i've noticed that SP has offered convex spacebars lately and i wasn't able to figure out which (if any) of the spacebars in this set are convex.

Theyre all convex!

This is a really bad situation. If anyone other than Bernie Sanders or AOC becomes our next president, we're probably going to civil war.

Annnnd, if AOC becomes president, we're probably going to actual WW3, because she has no say / leverage over the military industrial system at all.   So unless our Blackflag secret police realllllly backs her, she'll just be another Obama, doing whatever the guys selling missiles and bombs want, ala WW3, Obama nearly got us WW3 with his stuxnet approval stunt, we were inches away.

BERNIE, can actually do the job, but sigh, he's so old, he can croak any minute.

Oh! A fellow old-timer... :3
Greetings, and welcome back!

Things really went out of control...
I was surprised myself after returning 2 months ago:

- Cherry MX patent ran out -> Over 9000 different variants of MX-style switches from China
- These little switch quick-swap thingies on PCBs (what to do with my solder iron now!?)
- Transition to gasket-mount keyboards (no more resonance PING! like in the old days...)
- Having more mech-keyboard brands than Filco, Topre, Cherry, IBM, KBC and Razer
- We still can't decide if LEDs should be mounted north or south facing
- Mech-keyboards became mainstream (are we still Geeks?)
- CNC-milled metal keyboard-cases became affordable
- MassDrop became keyboard-centric and bought GH
- You can get custom dye-sub printed keycaps (YUZU)
- Ripster selling his keyboard-collection
- People collecting artisan-keycaps


Oil-Kings are a great choice I think...
I have tested a heap-load of switches recently to catch-up.
For linear ones, Oil-Kings were my favorites. I also liked the Zjmehty ones. Both are superior to vintage MX-Blacks imo.
Finding a superior replacement for Ergo-Clears and Zealios V2 ended up much more complicated. Still not done testing.

T0mohalkz..

Look. people misunderstand weapn systems.  Most of the weps we have are actually pretty useless, because the logistical support is actually so expensive,  that they're unsustainable for any meaningful duration. We're talking weeks.

This is why in xtended wurz,  it pretty much comes down to just those artillery rounds. 

It's like casting your big mana moves, but you don't have a bag with mana potions.   After wards, you've just got the staff's default fireball, and that's pretty much it.

In the games, you've got healers, stat boosts, etc that can charge you up.   That's not the case in the real world.  You pretty much have to do it mostly alone.



Committing more resources to an un-winnable situation, they're clearly not going to do it.


You can't win, if you don't escalate,   if you escalate,  you can't win.    That's the Nvkclr dome. and Every country (that matters) already has it.


This is why further military spending, is mostly useless.  the WAR, is actually fought across multiple domains, primarily the manufacturing base.    And we've refused to invest in that, and we've refused to make the hard choices.


There's no good outcome to those hard choices though.


For example, We're in a situation where, the leadership invests 1000x in surveillance vs public utility. So, instead of figuring out WHY people are coughing, we're selling them REALLY expensive cough syrup that just stops the coughing.

That's surveillance technology in a nutshell,  it's unsustainable, and long run, a huge waste of money.



Think about it, the 1984 scenario, you've got total control, total surveillance, the reality is,  that situation would never come to pass, because people can simply not go to work,  just say, nawh, i'm not going to do it.


You can poke them with sticks all you want,  the precipitous drop in efficiency would send the economy into an irrecoverable tail spin.


NEWSPEAK totalitarianism, has significantly lower overall productivity than egalitarian systems.


Human beings are extremely sensitive pansies.  Recall the days one were upset, how much good work did gitrdone that day.

The way momentum works is,  You have an aeropln, it's going, it's going, it stalls, but the momentum is still pushing forward a bit, but it's already stalled and the engine's running out of fuel, and you're about to go into a flat spin.

That's how economies work.  Peak Oil, is that turning point, EROI moving forward is fully buggered.

Everything in the "small lifespan" of "people" looks linear, A to B,  But as a whole, our prominance on this planet is the blink of an eye, and we've long since entered the precarious zone.

Prepare for bad times ahead. 20-30 years of normalcy.  If people keep eating meat,  it's over.


Don't get too upset over politics, it is what it is, you've got bread, you've got running water, cherish this moment.
