Happy #MechanicalKeyboard #40sDay!

My favourite ≤ 40% keyboards:

1. custom #WorldspawnsKeebs #Shambles (world's smallest #TKL 😉) in fluorescent acrylic with #Nephlock #GMK #Kaiju (bought from Drop)

2. #Ziptyze #Zlant (bought from #1UpKeyboards) with SA #Vilebloom

3. #TheVanKeyboards (#TVK) #MiniVan with GMK #Paperwork — IMHO the most usable 40%

4. #PyrooL #Alpha28 (sub-30% bought from WorldspawnsKeebs on Etsy) with GMK Pulse #Mitolet (from Drop)

Thanks to @petejohanson for the idea!

A Zlant keyboard (designed by Ziptyze and sold by 1UpKeyboards) with SA Vilebloom as keycap set. The keyboard has a uniform stagger, i.e. every row of keys has an offset of ¼ key width to the next row, hence filling the gap between ortholinear and classic staggered keyboard layouts. It's a keyboard just consisting of three layers of white PCB material, but it has no frame so you nearly don't see anything of it in this top-down shot. The keycaps show a (stepped) gradient slanted in the opposite direction as the keyboard's rows are slanted. Left side is navy blue on pale yellow, then there are two columns white on salmon pink, then one row white on old rose, and the right side including the 2u space bar is all white on navy blue.
A Minivan keyboard from TheVanKeyboards (TVK) with aluminum frame and the GMK Paperwork (design IIRC also from TVK) keycap set. Most of the keycaps are medium grey on light grey with the cursor keys having a slightly darker light grey as base color. Tab, Shift, Enter Backspace, one the two short spacebars and the menu key have inverse colors (light grey on medium grey). The for bottom left keycaps have the base colors yellow, cyan, purple and green with legends in a darker tone of the same color. These colors are reminiscent of neon markers on recycling paper with a checked pattern. Black background.
An Alpha keyboard, designed by PyrooL and sold by WorldspawnKeebs. As "Alpha" is a very ambiguous name, many call it Alpha28 as it only has 28 keys: 26 "alpha" keys (hence probably the original name), a 2u spacebar and a key left of the L key which can be used as layer switch key or Enter key, … The keyboard has a half-ortholinear and half-staggered layout consisting of just three rows of keys. The two upper key rows have each 10 1u keys and are ortholinear to each other and contain the letters QWERTYUIOP, ASDFGHJKL and a key labeled "Data". The bottom row has 7 1u keys (ZXCV and BNM) and a 2u space bar between V and B. It's a keyboard just consisting of one layer of white PCB material and two layers of transparent acrylic, so you nearly see anything of the "case" in this top-down shot. The keycap set is GMK Pulse Mitolet, i.e. cyan on purple. It's sitting on a sun-lit sandstone window sill.

We recently inherited (or rather, bought for cheap from his widow) my FIL's 2009 #minivan. It now has a steering fluid #leak. Unfortunately from the rack+pinion. Fortunately(?) only when turning left. The parts are available, but we'll have to save up the coin, its #heckaspensive.

So for now Ill continue to just top up the fluid every few days. And only turn right. I've mapped out routes to/from work and its doable only turning right. Itll be like I'm a FedEx/UPS driver.

NGP VAN provides tools used by #Democrats to raise money and mobilize #voters. New mgmt has been stripping its operations to the bare bones.

#MiniVAN – A mobile #canvassing app that allows for #campaigns and organizations to contact voters or supporters, collect data, and sync the information back to their database in real time.

71% of progressive voter contact attempts were made on MiniVAN instead of paper lists in 2018.

My '95 #Toyota #Previa #MiniVan started making some loud clunking sounds when shifting and I'm concerned I might've let the transfer case oil leak out while I was replacing the starter (that ended up not needing to be replaced but that's a different story). I drained it and the oil looked pretty brown so I reckon we haven't changed the oil in at least ten years, so it's due. Couldn't refill because the check hole plug is 1mm smaller than the drain one 😕, so I gotta go back to #HarborFreight #car
