The Keychron K4/related (K4 HE here) compact 96% layout is definitely my favorite keyboard layout. Just a solid brick of keys.

I've used a K4 for 6 years now and love it. The only thing is that I had to swap out the arrow keys for textured ones, which allows me to reach for them blindly and keeps me from losing my location when using them.

It's insanely compact for a 96% board.

Why do you like rhe 96% layout? I prefer the full space, recently upgraded to a Q6 Ultra, I’m really happy I can get a wireless version of most of their models these days.

Wider keyboards (with the space for arrow keys and number keys to the right) put extra strain on your right shoulder when you use the mouse in your right hand.

I've been using a narrow keyboard and ergonomic mouse for 2 weeks, and my shoulder pain is starting to go away.

I put a number pad on the left and it's much easier to key in numbers with my left hand instead of using my mouse with my left hand.

The HE keyboards are really great. I have been using the K10 HE for a year and it's the best keyboard I've used.

Second this. I was skeptical because I thought I was attached to the "heft" of a full layout, but the 96% is the best of both worlds.

Used YAMS myself which is basically just a glorified docker-compose file.

Same with swamps and wetlands.

One must also consider the other impacts such as water use and noise pollution.

if a human showed up directly under some bot bullshit pinging me I'd assume they were the bot operator as well

Well, if you buy N of these global forever stamps, the cost will just get cheaper over time (inflation).

Since the non-postcrossing Global Forevers are circular and a bit annoying, I use 2 Forever stamps plus a 20¢ stamp (6¢ wasted - i suppose i could switch to 15¢ stamps...).

> if you buy N of these global forever stamps, the cost will just get cheaper over time (inflation).

Not if you buy them today to use later I would think. Since you gave up the $$$ today, it won’t do anything for you anymore even if you don’t buy another stamp again I’d think. Compared to buying a stamp whenever you need one in the future but not tying your cash up until that moment.

Really depends if you would be otherwise investing that money in a way that beats stamp prices. Stamp prices very consistently outpace inflation.

Over the past 5 years, they've beaten:

* VT stock (total world index fund)

* US I-Bonds (inflation-indexed bonds)

* Fed rate for T-Bills / any HYSA

* Any other bonds

The cost varies a lot by country, yeah. It can be more expensive like the UK or cheaper like in Japan ($0.65).

That's correct, yep: https://www.stampsforever.com/resources/why-is-forever-cross...

absolute beasts of engines for sure

fresh spring grass erupting fast

the distant engine purr comes

ouch goes the lawnmower

Beautiful. How did you come up with that? It's strangely captivating.

Just a normal haiku pattern and waiting for tests to finish, 5-7-5.

Could be 'wrong' since erupting is "technically" 3 syllables - but I think it sounds better said fast. Becomes a 7-7-5 that way. Same issue with 'lawnmower.'
