I also limit what goes in our trash and only put out a bag or two a week. And our city is in charge of refuse and recycling but they contract out with a waste management company - the city doesn’t have its own dump or recycling facilities (and this has been my experience in cities big and small across the country.

I watch the trash and pickup process a lot (because of a toddler) and what I’ve noticed is that bagged trash gets picked up out of bins and thrown into the truck while the recycling gets picked up by the “arm” and dumped; that’s where the spillage comes from.

You’re saying that you just dump trash straight into the inside bin and then empty that straight into the outside bin without ever using a bag at any point? You do whatever ever you want inside, but for the outside bin, it depends on your jurisdiction and who holds the contract to collect refuse. In my county, and per rules of the refuse company that hauls the trash, all trash must be placed in bags inside the bin. Unbagged trash is not collected, as in, they literally will not empty the bin until you bag it.

Also, unbagged trash has a higher chance of spilling when it’s dumped into the truck. Our trash always makes it into the truck, but a lot of recycling ends up in the gutters or blowing down the street because it’s unbagged.

Adjusted for inflation, that $0.25 is now equivalent to $68 million dollars, so…

Yeah, it’s more of an act of reverence or deference. However, it is a pronoun (cis-gendered, and preferred) which some people believe never occurs in the Bible.

Or short people. Only the average thrive.

I think that word is tyranny, if we’re sticking with Greek.

It’s called Papyrus and it’s everywhere. From Arizona Green Tea to the band Lamb of God.

I hate it, maybe not for good reasons, but if I see that font on a product or document, I feel repulsed. Like reading someone’s resume printed in jokerman or one of those faux-handwritten cursive fonts that are all the rage on handmade hipster farm-to-table rustic authentic commodities.

This has to have been some form of egregious waste.

I can’t recall seeing any promotional material for this besides the trailer being reposted to talk shit about the movie.

If you could make utterly perfect copies of people like you can with objects and they only differed by their UUID...how different would those two people be really

This made me think of identical twins. Perfect copies, but the minute they are born (for the convenience of tracking experience) they begin to differ. The majority of their properties and attributes remain identical, but their associations and metadata start to change.

Identical twins provide an interesting thought experiment because a lot of times they end up with the same job roles, married to similar people (or even other sets of twins), dress similarly, have similar attitudes and opinions, etc. But in many ways they are just the same genetic code running in a different environment.

If souls are just uuids, then I guess twins are some type of hash collision?

Cue the Scroll Phone^TM^.

I can’t even imagine the nightmare UI that would accommodate that type of screen.

Mechanically, I could see a device that has a slide down keyboard and a roll up screen. Functionally, I can’t see how it would be useful for daily smart phone actions like one-handed use or swipe-gestures.

Try Razer’s config tool; not available on macOS though. If you can’t get that software to work, then try using that karabiner tool mentioned on another comment for macOS or AutoHotKey on Windows.

Note: I do all of my keyboard config stuff the hard way with qmk, so I can’t vouch for, or explain, any of the tools I just listed.

As for your spacebar issue, you have a key set that only supports Cherry Mx-style switches. This isn’t a problem for the switches themselves, but those stabilizers look to be incompatible with that spacebar. I don’t know much about razer boards, but it looks like the stabilizers are designed for their original spacebars, or there is an adapter that didn’t get installed with these new caps. You could confirm this by looking at the stabilizers for the shift or enter keys; pop one of those off and see how they are mounted.

You might be able to open the case and install mx-style stabilizers. You’ve got a 6.25u size spacebar, which is usually covered in stabilizer kits like Durock or Cherry. The real issue is whether you could install them on the PCB. Cherry style stabilizers are also noisy as hell, so be ready for that (the noise can be controlled with some modifications, but that’s a rabbit hole all by itself).

Good luck!
