Those of you seeing Louis CK in the next couple months are in luck 'cause he did a great 75 mins of new stuff tonight. From what I can tell this was the first big/tour date with this material, it's only going to get tighter, and it was already really, really good.

I spent a bunch of money on a keycap set (+ novelties and ergodox kit) for one of my weird, homemade keyboards. I also bought some Motive Pure after hearing Derek Waters (of Drunk History) and Katie Nolan talking on a podcast about how it's a miracle hangover preventative. Worth a shot.

Yeah, like 95% of hangover misery comes from dehydration so a saline IV is probably the actual best hangover cure. There are actually a couple Uber-style services (like http://www.hangoverclub.com/) that will come to your house and give you an IV. But since that's loving insane, I'm going with the snake oil electrolyte stuff that probably isn't much better than just remembering to drink the 16-20oz of water you mix into. Like I said though, worth a shot.

Bought 80 cherry mx green keyswitches before thanksgiving and they finally made it to me from Hong Kong. And some vinyl wrap that looks like white carbon fiber. Finally have everything I need to build another ergodox infinity keyboard. Also bought a week at a resort in the Dominican Republic to wash the taste of 2016 out of my mouth. With rum drinks.

Nostalgia4Dogges posted:What pillows y'all rocking I've dropped at least $200+ on various pillows over the years and just can't seem to find one that my neck fully agrees with. I did the contour thing a while ago--but my neck seemed to prefer a regular fluffy pillow--looks like I should try one of those again I did some comparison shopping on pillows last week. Narrowed it down to either the Casper pillow or Nest Bedding's Easy Breather. The Casper has a firm pillow wrapped in a softer pillow, the Nest has microfiber memory foam (latex microfiber also available) and a zipper on the side so you can easily remove filling to dial it in to preference. I went Nest, should be here in a couple days, I'll report back.

I got my Nest Bedding pillow the other day and so far really like it. Queen size shredded memory foam Easy Breather. It's a big upgrade over the sculpted block of memory foam pillow I had before. Out of the box it felt about right for back/side sleeping, since I'm a side/stomach sleeper I took about 15-20% of the memory foam out and that seems about perfect for me. Not sure that'd I'd recommend it unreservedly since the price point's a bit high compared to other shredded memory foam pillows on the market but I'm happy with my purchase.

The bourbon is sweeter and maybe a bit smoother, the rye has more cedar and pepper flavors. They're both really good for the price, just a matter of how much you like sweetness.

WL Weller. 12-year old should be about $30 for a fifth; Special Reserve around $25. The 12yo comes from the same stock (Buffalo Trace) as Pappy Van Winkle for about a twentieth of the price. Unless you can get 12yo Van Winkle for its $70 MSRP (but you can't).

Josh Lyman posted:What about actual Buffalo Trace? Google "bourbon family tree", there's a great GQ infographic. There are only about 12 different stocks, each with a few age brackets. Weller 12 and Van Winkle 12 both come from the same 10yo Buffalo Trace stock (though the Van Winkle is usually "best" and Weller "2nd best"). Actual Buffalo Trace comes from their 4yo stock. I like Buffalo Trace though but it's not a favorite.

Bottom Liner posted:I just leave mine at a comfortable temperature and never have to adjust. I don't get it. Do you leave it set at the same temp when no one's home 8 hours/day? I have a couple Nests and don't think they're that great. A dumb programmable thermostat can do most of what they do if you're willing to spend time setting up the schedule in a lovely UI. But there's still a huge convenience and energy bill difference between leaving your house at seventy or whatever 24/7/365 and being able to tap around in a decent app to do poo poo like "during the summer set to 78 at 8:30a when I leave for work and start cooling to 72 at 5:30p so it's cool when I get home from work and at midnight when I go to bed drop to 70 but if I want to go to bed early and walk by the motion sensor in the bedroom before midnight go ahead and start cooling but on the weekends I sleep in so...". The best things about it are the motion sensor (which is contingent on thermostat placement) and the ability to set AWAY mode from your phone when you go on vacation and realize that your empty house is being heated/cooled.

I got curious and did some googling and couldn't find a straightforward answer but the gist seems to be that if you have a fairly modern house that's fairly well insulated and a fairly efficient HVAC system; it's more efficient and cheaper to program than to leave it at a constant temperature. This may not apply if you have geothermal heating or live in a weird climate or... I don't have any hard data to back it up and don't know if my energy rates have changed but I'm pretty sure the Nests knocked something like 15-30% off my energy/gas bill.

Those grandma keycaps are horrifying and kinda awesome. I finally got my 2nd Ergodox built and put a Granite set on it. Since this pic I've put HC (darker) Granite icon mods around the thumb clusters and on the bottom left row. Still need another blank spacebar and a second red escape key but it's getting close to perfect.

H110Hawk posted:How do you do issue control/alt/meta? For a moment I thought you were insane with []{} on the lower most row like that, then I saw them right in the middle. There are some placeholder keys in that pic that aren't correctly labeled. Meta keys are mostly the small keys around the thumb clusters and in the bottom row of each half. I've since put more accurate keycaps on most of those but it's at work and I don't have a current pic. It also has multiple keymap layers so if I hit the big Fn keys in the middle, the LCD backlight changes color to show which layer I'm on and it does neat stuff like turn the right side into a numpad, thumb clusters into media keys, JKL; and WASD into arrow keys, etc.

I walk a lot. Also curious which Darn Toughs you got. Their cushioned stuff is obviously pretty thick, I have a couple pairs I wear with boots, but the stuff in their Lifestyle section that says Light (not Cushioned Light) should be fine. I have like 9 pairs of their Warlock and they're thinner than most plain white athletic socks. Also have a couple pairs of their no-show ultra lights from the Running section of their site and they're even thinner.

Keeping the keyboard chat going, finally got the Godspeed keycaps I ordered like a year ago and put them on one of my Ergodoxes. The keys aren't all correctly labeled and I'm going to have to track down some blanks to really get it finished but good enough for now. I use cherry greens in an open office and dgaf.

On Prime day I got a couple pairs of Levi's 559. Today I bought my brother a Kingston HyperX Cloud II gaming headset as a going away/housewarming gift so we can play more games together now that he lives a few hours away. Today I also bought a bunch of hard candy in my search for something to satisfy my oral fixation now that I've finally quit smoking. Cavendash & Harvey drops (Mixed Fruit, Wild Berry, Sour Cherry, and Pear & Blackberry), Reed's Butterscotch, and those green and white key lime discs that Mexican restaurants have.

null_pointer posted:Dragging this post back from a few pages back, but how much was this setup, all told? The keycaps, themselves, on Massdrop seem pretty pricey, yet they're really striking! It's...not a cheap hobby. $209 for the Ergodox Infinity kit from Massdrop with no keycaps, an hour or two of soldering, and another $137 for keycaps; so about $350 for this build. If you just add on a blank keycap set to the Massdrop buy you can get a fully functional kit for about $250 but you'll still need to build/solder it. Alternately, if you don't gently caress with soldering, you can buy a prebuilt Ergodox EZ for about $270-355 depending on options. On an unrelated note, I solicited recommendations for good hard candy from the thread a few weeks ago. Ordered and tried a ton of stuff that was suggested (and a bunch that wasn't suggested) and have found my favorites. Honorable mentions go to Kopiko coffee candy and goon-run Raley's Confectionary. My favorites though:  Reed's Butterscotch. Like the best butter rum Lifesavers ever. Complex butterscotch flavor with enough salt to make the flavor pop. Also, individually wrapped.  Key Lime discs. Several people suggested these as "those green and white candies that Mexican restaurants have". I've never been to a Mexican restaurant that has them but these things are great. Lime with a hint of creamy/coconut flavor. A bit artificial tasting but really good and relatively cheap compared to my other favorites.  Cavendish & Harvey Pear and Blackberry drops. Holy. loving. poo poo. Best candy I've ever had. Both the pear and the blackberry drops are insanely good but the pear is legit the best candy I've ever eaten. Their other flavors that I've tried (lemon, orange, sour cherry) are all very good but the pear and the blackberry are on a whole other level. These things are pretty loving expensive and inconvenient to carry around (big-rear end metal tin, not individually wrapped, and covered in powdered sugar so they don't stick together) but I really can't overstate how good they are. E: oops, it wasn't this thread that I asked for candy suggestions in, it was PYF Products and Requests for Products thread. Guess I'll xpost this there as well.

null_pointer posted:Christ. How do you like the Ergodox, with regard to the actual -- you know -- ergonomics? I have a Chinese knock-off split keyboard with wrist rest that I like, but those Godspeed keycaps are drool-inducing. Also: how long after a massdrop, uhh, drops, do you actually get the product? You said it took a friggin' year? The Godspeed keycaps took almost a year; I think they have the actual Ergodox kits down to 4-6 weeks to ship on the most recent drops. They're also about to do a drop on an XDA profile Godspeed set; I don't like the colors quite as much but the flatter XDA profile is saner for the Ergodox. I may end up buying another set of the XDA and selling off the SA Godspeeds I currently have. As for the ergonomics...I really like them. I'd been using Microsoft Natural ergonomic/split keyboards for, like, 15+ years previously so the adjustment wasn't bad all. I was probably back up to normal typing speed within a week or two of switching. The big benefits for me (other than mechanical switches instead of rubber domes) are offloading common keys that are usually pinky keys (enter, backspace) to the thumb clusters and also being able to move the two halves further apart so that my elbows/forearms/wrists are all at straight/right angles and not pointed inward. The other nice thing (though not Ergodox-specific) is having multiple layers -- so layer0 is my normal keymap, layer1 has all of my media and Function keys, layer2 has a numpad, and layer3 is a weird layer where I put all of the keys most needed for gaming on just the left half so that when I play games I can just move the right half out of the way and scoot my mouse over, keeping my arms straight. It could be confirmation bias since I've dumped a lot of time and money into them but I liked my first one enough that the one I posted previously is actually my 2nd and I have one for home and one for work now. My other one looks pretty baller too, if I say so myself (but also needs to be cleaned):
