It is… Adequate

Just did 1,010 words!

Found out that the skip button skips the word, not the prompt.

Needs more jpeg

Keychron V2, choose the prebuilt with either red or brown switches. If those are too loud, you can swap the switches for silent ones. I am out of date with switches nowadays, but Rtings says TTC blueish-white are good, so that might not be a bad starting point for your research.

Quick edit: for the software, you could also run it in a Windows VM then give the VM access to the USB port.

Also, if you can make do without keyboard specific software, there are some new old stock BTC 5100C boards on eBay. You’ll need an AT to PS/2 converter if you want to connect it to a desktop, but all in it should be under $70 USD, excluding shipping. The layout (75% but really really weird) takes getting used to, and it doesn’t have N key Rollover if that is something that matters for you, but they are a quieter keyboard than most due to their BTC dome with slider mechanism.

Chyrosran22 did a review of the switch [link]. Fair warning: I don’t know if he does in that video, but he can use very non-PG language at times, so if you aren’t OK with that you might want to avoid the video.

Edit edit: also on mine the space bar stabilization is utter garbage, its been a while but I think only after a bandaid mod and lube was it acceptable. Legit I think even a person who just uses generic office keyboards might complain about the space bar, it’s that bad.

Jeweled lacerta my beloved

All Yesterdays is the first one that comes to mind

Pull the switch as the trolley is on that rail so it gets stuck and the trolley kills nobody

If it makes it any better, it would be a sort of small crocodile, at “only” 8 feet (2.6 meters ish ish) long.

Probably not, since there has to be some processing of the noise to identify what it is. TheBackyardScientist did a video somewhat similar to that, here: https://piped.video/watch?v=4WSQqDHK1Yw

That is a really bold opinion, and honestly I don’t disagree.

No worries, I probably could have worded it better anyways

That is what I meant. With desktops that are short side down, the motherboard side with the CPU socket, PCIe slots, etc. should be considered as upwards

If you put the empty side towards the top of the machine, that works first try 95% of the time. For desktops, the top of the machine is motherboard side up.

Titanfall 2 is fun! I did the singleplayer in about 6 to 7 hours.

Not vegan, but pescetarian, so vaguely similar.

I personally like vegan meat replacements because I just miss meat. Some people also want to fit in, and not abstain from a tradition because of dietary preference. Meat is a pretty big part of culture, at least here in the U.S., with burgers, Thanksgiving turkey, Christmas ham, July 4th hotdogs, etc.

Additionally, the same arguement could be applied in the other direction. Some traditional meats from various places on earth are spiders, scorpions, Greenland shark, puffin, guinea pig, horse, and seal meat. These aren’t popular in the U.S., for instance, for various reasons. Most notably for this thread is that these, with some exceptions, would be hard to scale, especially for the demand of them here.

While I would like to try more exotic foods, they’re not that easy to come across.

There is the factory seconds stock, which is cheaper, but RAM, storage, Wi-Fi card, power brick and expansion cards are sold separately. https://frame.work/products/factory-seconds-framework-laptop-13-diy-edition-11th-gen-intel-core Still over your price range though.

Probably too different, as snails are benthic, while ammonites where probably nektonic.

Iirc the shells being longer is something about allowing gases in the shell to compress or expand as needed to control bouyancy. I would imagine there is a sac of gas, and the ammonites would siphon water in or out as needed to compress or decompress the gas.

Edit: just looked it up on Wikipedia, it appears the heteromorph ammonites are thought to have maybe been planktonic or benthic.

Definitions for non-nerds:

Benthic means living on or near the sea floor.

Nektonic means free swimming

Planktonic means going with the current as plankton. I should note plankton aren’t all tiny, some are visibile to the naked eye. All it means is unable to propel themselves against current.

In my history of life class I was tought it was to do with controlling buoyancy, although all the variation seems odd for that.

Maybe a combination of controlling buoyancy with species identification?

I was wondering where the dankpods would be

Iirc it was the mobile browser not blocking Microsoft trackers. Lemme check

Edit: can confirm, it was not blocking MS trackers, seems to have been due to legal terms. Link: https://techcrunch.com/2022/08/05/duckduckgo-microsoft-tracking-scripts/
