Pffft! Look at this dude who assigned a tavern keeper to the inn while still allowing non dwarves entrance to it. Everybody knows that those knife-ears and humies can't handle nutritious dwarven wine. They get drunk and break shit. Best just to not have them in the fortress at all.

This is almost exactly how I built my first keyboard. Except of course I laser cut a top and bottom plate out of steel and used brass spacers to separate them. Costs a little bit more but I found the donor keyboard in the electronics recycling at work so it was free.
I've been listening to a bunch of audiobooks from the public library here recently and there are various levels of production effort. I listened to a Star Wars audiobook (Alphabet Squadron) when I needed something simple for a flight and was blown away by the amount of sound effects (lasers, start ships flying around, environmental sounds etc) and different characters. Is there a term for this? Some examples: - Basic narration: One voice artist, maybe they do different voices for characters and narration. Maybe not. - Multiple artists: Different characters get voiced by different actors. It might be for different POV chapters or even line by line when characters speak to each other. - Sound effects: Environmental sounds (wind, rain, cafe chatter etc), event sounds (alarms, gun shots, etc), audio effects (speaking with radio effect, echos, cave sounds) - Music: In the Star Wars book there was even background music for the various characters. Wow! Also the Star Wars into music is always welcome. I guess it's way more expense to do it this way and would love some more examples of good audio production.

I've graduated to "late thirties" now and I've picked up so many small injuries that won't go away. Twisted my ankle 2 years back, still hurts but doesn't prevent me from doing anything. Fell while skiing a year back and my shoulder hurts whenever I do anything.
Any tips on how to:
- Prevent further injuries
- Heal the ones I got I try to warm up, stretch, use hot packs etc but maybe I missing something basic.
Hi all, first post here. I'd usually head over to r/OLKB but... ya know. I bought the 1UpKeyboard Pi50 PCB when it came out. It's a raspi powered preonic kind of board but I'm not a fan of the laser cut acrylic case they were punting. I've made a steel sandwich case for my Iris keyboard and it worked out okay'ish. A little rust and I screwed up the screw hole so they're not all aligned. I've got a quote from laserboost and it;ll be around $120 for a single case from them. It drops to $90 per unit for 2+ and $70 for 10+. The Iris case cost me about $40 for a single unit from a fab shop in my old town but unfortunately I moved to the USA and can't access them anymore. Does the laserboost pricing seem a little high to anyone else or is this standard? Does anyone have any suggestions for other service providers?
