WTT: Hack Orange Topre for ??? MX CC
« on: Thu, 04 October 2012, 18:59:18 »
Hey guys!  I tried to purchase one of those buckling spring keycaps from the recent sale, but fortunately I made that thread asking for a bit of clarification and helped everyone else get one instead!  I really hope that all of those people use them on a buckling spring keyboard or trade them for another skull they're after.  Luckily, I don't have a Topre keyboard and hence received a Topre-compatible keycap in its place!

Hmm, what else can I do with this thing?  Hey, maybe I could trick out my piece!  All the boys in the hood gonna get down on their knees once they see Preccy G with his key-capped heat struttin' down the street.  A mean-muggin', QWERTY-lovin' son-of-a-gun don't take no click clack from no one!

[SEVERAL GUNSHOTS RING OUT, THE CROWD PANICS AND SCATTERS]

EVERYBODY DOWN, THIS IS A STICKUP!  CASH, CREDIT CARDS, WALLETS, JEWELS, AND ALL THAT YOU BEHOOVE!  KEYCAPS, TOO!  I'M SWEEPIN' THIS SCENE CLEAN, GONNA LEAVE IT PLACID AND SERENE; SWITCHES JUTTING FROM BARE PCB -- TAKE ALL YOUR BELOVED THINGS AND LEAVE THOSE POCKETS EMPTY!  NOW, WHO DARES TO STAND AGAINST ME?



How about a front sight replacement?  The current one barely clears the can.  No, I don't think that's going to work.  I think I'll...





...shoot it!  I don't think it's going to fit.  Maybe...





...it could replace the magazine release!  Actually, the present one is perfect, as cool as that looks.  I could...





...replace the hammer with it!  Being something of an HSLD operator who operates operationally, I don't think this is going to cut it.  Cocking the hammer is for the cinema, anyway.  Hmm...





...does it thread onto the suppressor?  Silenced keycaps!  No one will hear me typing!  Sweet serenity.  Actually, it seems 13.5x1 LHM threading isn't compatible with Topre.  At least I have MX Browns.





0 rounds per magazine





Is there anybody in there?  Just click clack if you can hear me.  Is there anyone at home?





This could be the last thing you ever see.





Yes, these were taken post-playtime.  No keycaps were harmed in the production of this imagery.





There's really no black speck there, I'm not sure what that is.  I know there's a pixel missing, but that's not it.  Maybe he had something in his nose.









Suggestive imagery.





This could be the last thing you ever see.

I had to douse my head in water for this one to make it look like we really did have that life-long rising action, the climactic battle of opposites at odds, and the dénouement wherein I run these sweet words out from machine lips to caress the crippled consciousness of an unsightly, surly soul.

"You can never truly know a person until it's already much too late.  We have wandered many miles without direction only to arrive again to this same place.  When I met you, I was but a child; now I am old, and you are older still.  I absolve you of all responsibility and hereby assume your place upon this Earth.  You had your chance which you wore thin in sheer derision.  This is the end, whereupon your descend and those last few furtive steps take you but to your knees.  Goodbye, friend.  I will always love you."

-----------------------

Well, anyway, I guess this whole GunCaps thing isn't going to work out.  Unless I used it for an orange safety tip, anyway, but what's the fun in that?  I would like to trade for an MX-compatible cap of similar repute.  Shoot 'em if you've got 'em.

Also, if I do not find someone to trade with before Saturday, October 20th, I am going to shoot it.  I will make a video for you if it comes to that.  That's right, I'm going to execute this keycap unless someone offers up one of their beloved cutie-clackies in exchange.

Tick, tock -- clickclack's on the clock!

PMs replied.  I'll probably make a decision some time on Sunday since I've already had a few offers, so keep 'em coming if you're interested.  Thanks!

It's a P226 Elite Dark, with threaded barrel for the Silencerco Osprey 9.  Yeah, this is the first time I really picked it up in a while; only taken it out once in the past few months I've had the pair.

I think keyboards might still be a more expensive hobby/interest, though. ;)

Edit: Sleep, will check PMs tomorrow.

I know it's sarcasm but CC offering to sell you skulls while other people are still pissed they didn't get in on the first hack orange sale is really arrogant. It's ****ting in the face of people who's emails were a second later than yours and then you act like it's a burden for you to buy another cap while others got nothing.

You are completely taking what I said out of context.

I am not the sort of individual to mindlessly parrot memetic neologisms, but there is quite literally no other explanation than this: you are upset.  I am sorry that despite the fact that I set myself at a disadvantage my email still arrived before yours, or whoever else's.  Your posts are more reflective of your inability to perceive, assess, and respond to the actions of others without including petty human emotions as opposed to any shortcoming of my own.

If you say it is sarcasm, then it is not arrogance.  Thanks for contradicting yourself.

It is insane and selfish to think that a language should bend to your delusions.

I am not rubbing it in like an entitled child.  Again, you must be jealous.  I don't know.  Why are you so angry?  I am an objective individual.  I am lying in bed literally falling asleep, and this is what I'm reading?  Yeah, I'm falling asleep in bed being self entitled; I'm not explaining to a bunch of froth-mouthed sociopaths that they're wrong or anything.  That couldn't possibly be it.

Will you please stop harassing me and taking this all so seriously?  Please read a dictionary before posting again and examine my behavior and determine upon some objective basis that my behavior meets the criteria of the definition of the word.

You are misconstruing my actions.  Your words were ignorant and derisive, borne not of good reason but your insipid emotions.  Again, this is your flaw, not mine.

You know, I was just lying in bed trying to sleep and I couldn't because I kept thinking about how I just spent 150 dollars on 15 keyboards so I COULD SPEND ALL ****ING WEEKEND TRYING TO CLEAN THEM THAT SURE SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF FUN JUST SO I could sell some cheap Cherry doubleshots to the members of this community I'm so not a part of because of self-absorbed elitist ****heads like you.

You're a ****ing selfish ******* and I hope I awake to a thread full of apologies because I'm sick of living in a world full of people like you who can never admit they were wrong.

It does make me laugh that you would make a post like this talking **** about someone who you say must be jealous when most of your posts since the clack sale have been about how you 'screwed yourself' out of getting what you want,

 case in point, even though u got a clack in the sale you still felt the need to whine constantly, im not suprised people arent really warming to you.

A DISSERTATION ON THE STATE OF MIND OF ABERRANT ENTITIES UPON THE FORUM OF KEYBOARDS

BY DR PRECARIOUS GRAY
OF PAYING ATTENTION TO AND MAKING SENSE OF THINGS UNIVERSITY

GRADUATE, PH.D IN SENSE-MAKERY


Rule #1: Do not respond unless you read this entire post so you are fully aware of everything you are responding to.  Trust me, you're going to be wrong unless you do this.  You won't be able to deny that fact once I prove it to you if you screw this up.

Hello again, my qt3.14159265s!  You could view this post as some strange diatribe befitting of an insane man, or you could look at it as something I wrote to exercise my own mind because that is something I enjoy doing.    I am not in good company here, it seems.  The only plausible detractory claim is that it may not be immediately clear to whom I am communicating at any given point in time, but that is wholly resultant of the fact that I am actually replying to multiple people with a single post.  I'm not going to break this up, as there are too many common threads of ignorance wound throughout these posts and because many of you are clearly in need of a thorough schooling as to how to properly defend an argument.

I noticed you didn't say anything about those keyboards I mentioned purchasing, so I guess you desperately needed to reduce your cognitive dissonance.  You probably should have read that page I linked you to.  Or understood it, maybe.

You need to stop with the highly emotional responses to my posts.

If your entire existence takes place solely within a chaotic stew of emotions, such as to cause you to be altogether incapable of extricating the individual strands of thought comprising the communicative whole, whereby you could easily derive my true intentions, then you should just stop talking to or about me.  You are not on my level.  You are an animal tearing through the thickets and the reeds, ripping up the forest floor in search of truffles, fending only for its own selfish needs.  I am not your forest; there is nothing to eat here.  This altercation reaches far beyond the menial means of subsistence with which you are apparently all too well acquainted.

This is the realm of thought and reason.  Animals do not roam easily about this plane, so you should step off from it if your behavior is to remain irreducibly inconsiderate of others.

You know what is sad?  You do not understand that your behavior is wrong.  Even worse than that is the apparent fact that I am addressing several of you at once with this post.

You quite literally do not possess within yourself the precipitating elements of cognition which would afford you the ability to see that my behavior is indeterminate:  it is not clearly suggestive of anything at all.  What do you do then but wildly extrapolate, determining that you alone are capable of reducing the incomprehensibly large spectrum of possibility of the behavior of another individual to one singularly ignorant judgment.

I was not whining.  I was making a point and it is irrefutable.  I shall outline it for you once again such that you can crudely dismiss my analysis with your pitifully inept intellect.

My original intent was the send the e-mail at 5PM Pacific time.

I noticed incongruity.  I saw it fit to clarify since I did not wish to miss out on this sale, and I figured such clarification would be of little consequence to the success of my participation therein.

Resultant of my thread, the COUNTDOWN TIMER was born.  It is irrelevant that these have been used for other sales and perhaps considered for this one:  there were no other popular threads about this sale, if any at all.  It was about to happen in a few hours.

The only reason that countdown clock was a part of this sale was because of my thread which presented an opportunity for people to discuss the issue immediately prior thereto.  You cannot tell me that within the span of a few hours someone else would have made the exact same thread, about the exact same issue, because this sale had been approaching for some time.  Regardless, I was the one who did it.  This cannot be denied.  If you deny this fact, then please walk into traffic right now or admit yourself to a psychiatric institution, because you have apparently lost all semblance of contact with reality.

With the countdown clock now present as an "official" means of determining when to send the message, I decided to simply go with this as opposed to several different clocks to ensure nothing went awry.  Since I had not previously used this countdown clock, it was jarring when it began to "count up" after 5PM had arrived.  This was distracting to the tune of apparently enough milliseconds to cause my communication to be delayed in a way which it would have not without this tool which, again, was employed as a result of my post.

So, my reward for helping others know exactly when to send their message is that not only do I miss out on what I would have otherwise received, but I am then told that I was the first to miss out, without further recourse.  I would like to think that people are generally aware of the apparent precipitating causes of a simple incident, but your posts have proven that this is not the case.  Quite literally, you don't understand how anything works.  If you knew anything at all about human cognition you would see that it is far easier to simply align ones actions to a "countdown" timer than to attempt to discern that it is a particular time and then take action accordingly.  This supposition is easily proven by the fact that this was the fastest sell-out ever.  Enjoy denying facts, I guess.

I wasn't whining about anything.  I was just mentioning it.  Why?  It seemed I was the only one who noticed.  That's not *****ing, whining, or moaning:  that's trying to get you to pay attention to something you're too ignorant and self-involved to see.

Perhaps then someone would take reasonable action.  This is not entitlement:  this is discerning that something may be possible, hence my statements offered blindly and without further clarification or anything at all.

Oh, and look who purportedly has a keycap in the mail to them.  I don't really care about the "first to miss out" thing since the initial principle exists separately from that other distinct possibility.  At any rate, I took a particular course of action and ultimately its only conceivable end has been realized.  I am very sorry that you are not as successful or fortunate in your own endeavors.


This is a historical account.  To deny it is to attempt to subvert truth, in which case you collude only with the most fundamentally profound state of ignorance imaginable.

Why are you here, anyway?  I have a compelling interest in keyboards because I am one of the fastest typists to have ever lived.  A chaos of impressions results in a thought.  The thoughts are juxtaposed, creating meaning.  The meaning is translated to words.  The words are then deconstructed into movements of the hands; to do this quickly is an art.

You know no art, nor compelling interest.  You likely only revere these things as would any other idiot any other pretty object.

Let's analyze WRXChris's inchoate sentiments.

First things first:  you didn't defend any of your previous assertions, so I guess you decided that you were wrong about them and just forgot to tell me.  Thanks, I guess.

"lol yeah definitely not the response I was expecting!  Kinda worried about this one being a gun owner!"

That statement is a projection of your own fear.

You are worried about someone who has the ability to easily and readily enact violence against others because you feel that they are unstable.

Yet, your perception that the person is unstable is borne of your own ignorance of what constitutes stability; hence, by definition, you are the one who is actually unstable.  This is easily proven by noting that I maintain adherence to the established rules and structure of the English language and similarly draw deep from the well of the lexicon which comprises its communicative whole.   Aside: If you read all of this, begin your next post with the word "lemons" or in failing to do so everything you say will be considered incorrect because you will have decisively proven that you are not paying attention to what I am saying.  I am an organized thinker.  I write far more effectively than do you and can defend my own position.  You have responded only with colloquialisms and crudely dismissive statements which have no basis in fact.  If they did, I imagine you would have attempted to point to those and defend them.

So we have concluded that you suppose that another person be unstable, yet we can only demonstrate that you actually are.

You are not aware of this, which further proves your instability.

These words to you are from the person whom you posit as being unstable; they are true, which further demonstrates their stability.

Yet, your assertion was the opposite of reality, which decisively and irrefutably proves your instability with every necessary sense of finality to lay the matter to rest, inexorably.

So, in your fear, you only fear your own misconstruction of perceptions which you connote as being a part of reality.  Incorrectly, of course.  Fear exists in the human mind and not on any objective basis.  This is your emotional conditioning precipitating a flight-or-fight reaction.

You ran far from me and left behind only your cowardly statements that there be something amiss with one who can so adequately explain the behavior of himself and others.

I am intellectually superior to you in every conceivable capacity.  Accede to my superior sense of reason and accountability and shut your mewling maw, young pup.

Deal with it and stop harassing me with your ineptitude.  If you wish to continue to harass me, feel free to do it on Skype where you can find me as precarious gray.  I'd love to thoroughly trounce you verbally in addition to what I have already enacted upon this text-based medium.

Of course, you'd just end up talking over me because the only thing you can hear is yourself.


Also, I just wrote this because I was mildly musing about how I should become a rapper for no real reason at all except other than to ply my trade, and I think it probably applies to a lot of my detractors:

my mind frame is too mired in derision to make a decision as to which direction i should make my next insurrection to which you'll present no protection because your mind is too effete and mine can't be beat, so get back out on the street or the dollar store shelves, son, 'cause you cheap.

Also, this is from a book you should probably read called The Closing of the American Mind by someone who spent their entire life thinking about things and is now dead.

"The very expression dignity of man, even when Pico della Mirandola coined it in the fifteenth century, had a blasphemous ring to it. Man as man had not been understood to be particularly dignified.  God had dignity, and whatever dignity man had was because he was made in God's image (as well as from dust) or because he was the rational animal whose reason could grasp the whole of nature and hence was akin to that whole.  But now the dignity of man has neither of those supports; and the phrase means that man is the highest of the beings, an assertion emphatically denied by both Aristotle and the Bible.  Man is elevated and alone.  If this is to be plausible, man must be free -- not in the sense of ancient philosophy, according to which a free man is one who participates in a regime where he rules as well as is ruled; nor in the sense of Hobbes and Locke, according to whom a free man is one who can follow his reason without having to obey God or man -- but free in a much grander sense, that of legislating to himself and to nature, hence without guidance from nature.

The complement to and explanation of this view of freedom is creativity. We have become so accustomed to this world that it has no more effect on us than the most banal Fourth of July oratory.  But when it was first used for man, it had the odor of blasphemy and paradox.  God alone had been called a creator; and this was the miracle of miracles, beyond causality, a denial of the premise of all reason, ex nihilo nihil fit.  What defines man is no longer his reason, which is but a tool for his preservation, but his art, for in art man can be said to be creative.  There he brings order to chaos.  The greatest men are not the knowers but the artists, the Homers, Dantes, Raphaels and Beethovens.  Art is not imitation of nature but liberation from nature.  A man who can generate visions of a cosmos and ideals by which to live is a genius, a mysterious, demonic being.  Such a man's greatest work of art is himself.  He who can take his person, a chaos of impressions and desires, a thing whose very unity is doubtful, and give it order and unity, is a personality.  All of this results from the free activity of his spirit and his will.  He contains in himself the elements of the legislator and the prophet, and has a deeper grasp of the true character of things than the contemplatives, philosophers, and scientists, who take the given order as permanent and fail to understand man.  Such is the restoration of the ancient greatness of man against scientific egalitarianism, but how different he now looks!  All this new language is a measure of the difference; and reflection on how the Greeks would translate and articulate the phenomena it describes is the task of a lifetime, which would pay rich rewards in self-understanding."

Enjoy my personality, because you don't have one.

Trounced.

This thread has gone way, way out of control and don't want to see this go any further.

Thread Closed.
