Anyone else just really like the feeling and use of a Mechanical Keyboard? Recently picked one up from my local Walmart for $70. Old Razer 2019 BlackWidow and it feels nice. Wondering if anyone else likes them too.

Depends entirely on how much you type/use the keyboard.

Dropping lots of cash on a mech keyboard isn't the correct answer for everyone.

I have some cheapo GXT mechanical keyboard with red switches. It's great, it works, though I've also had membrane keyboards a decade ago that also felt super nice. As long as they keys aren't those flat laptop style keys I don't really care much. I prefer the feeling of Blue switches but hate the sound. Browns are just a bad compromise.

Any other wizards into combat sports?
I have done Krav Maga (2 years); it was ok but I can see why people say it’s overrated. Did some BJJ at an MMA gym but it was expensive as fuck. Boxing was the best so far; nothing has tested my fitness, strength, timing and precision like boxing. Class was always all male.

Really want to try Muay Thai. What other fighting styles are wizards into?

New year, new martial art.

Started formally practicing kali.
It's expensive and the talent I have to train with is limited, but as long as they don't drip feed instructions I am pretty confident I can learn all I want from it in 6 months to a year.
What I am mostly worried about is the instructor wants to mix in Krav, which I am not interested in, and very likely wants to avoid allowing sparing often, which is troublesome since I am used to sparing almost every class when I did karate.

i watched asterix and obelix in the middle kingdom last night and it was great. i appreciated all the puns (even when translated into english they were still great) and the prop comedy was good. there's a bunch of others, and they are based on an old french comic. i will probably watch the rest of the movies and then look into the comics

i feel like i should note that i don't care at all about french language or culture, and maybe this is why i liked this so much. it glorified in a comedic way ancient france's origin as gaul, and made fun of modern french culture. most of the comedy was situational and via props and actions. it was just a good movie, but it was french so i felt like posting about it here. apparently the first movie in the series reignited french filmmaking and received so much attention and praise, so it seems to have become a cherished series over in france i think

i started learning french in may 2023 with the goal of reading french philosophy and sociology books. i guess i got to the level i wanted to by a year or so later, but i got too lazy with just watching fun stuff on youtube like let's plays (in french) that i'm only just now trying to read actual french philosophy. it's going great, tho. some of it i find tough, but it's because the ideas, concepts, and arguments that i'm finding tough, the language itself isn't giving me any trouble.

i still struggle to understand very casual french, it feels like trying to understand a thick scottish accent as an esl. i could improve in that respect if i engaged a lot with it, but i actually don't care.

i'm also one of those who thinks (or thought) that the language sounds really ugly. but now i honestly can't really remember what it "sounded" like.

Hello fellow wizards. I know you guys have given some resources in this thread, but for a guy who is just learning French alone, what do you guys recommend. Any help would be appreciated, thank you all.

Sometimes I go for a walk to a small forest nearby while being very drunk. I think I look comical while doing this, kind of like The Call of the Wintermoon video. But it's enjoyable, very quiet. Spring arrived and birds appeared too.

What are some hobbies that don't involve consuming anything? You purchase a 1 time item and very rarely if ever have to replace it. Learning yo-yo tricks would be a consumptionless hobby in this case. There are obviously thinks like whistling or playing the spoons too. The idea is it has to make as little foot print as possible while being something you can develop and grow at. Drawing wouldn't count because you need paper.

Depends on the mask and the general setup.

Like if you are cutting/grinding stuff wet then there would be very little dust. It which case a mask might not even be needed.

But if you were powdering silica in a hermetically sealed room with not even the faintest of air flow, while wearing a ski mask, bro you gonna die.

depends heavily on the particle size

if you are chiseling and carving stone by hand outside you dont need anything crazy

if you are sawing, grinding, cutting, etc and producing dust, then you need an air filter and dust collection and a mask tbh

for wood if you work by hand, you can cut, saw, drill, chisel, etc and you dont need a mask. the moment you use powered tools though you need dust collection and air filtering and sometimes a mask

i built a shelf outside today and the dust was so bad i had to walk away after every cut and wait for it to settle. this was with a breeze too

Provided you have accessible to you an open area, get a sling and throw rocks.
It's a lot of fun, there's teriffic room to improve through distance and accuracy, and you feel good in nature.
You're welcome.
If you still feel unfulfilled, attend the TLM.

I need to find interesting topics to read about as all I have is my E-reader, I like history and a little bit of philosophy (I find philosophy to be mostly cognitive masturbation, please don't hate me) but it's hard to find interesting topics to read about and for me and a lot of the books are tedious to read and full of boring informations, Please give me suggestions of topics to read about, anything goes, I am willing to try anything since I am dying of boredom here, sadly I was never able to enjoy reading fiction despite having tired countless classics, I can't even explain why, it just bores me despite the fact I can enjoy films or TV shows on rare occasions.

No, I don't own one and have not owned one in the past, I'm mainly just interested in WWII era gas masks, I wish I had one even if it was of no practical use. I'd never use it and they all cost an upwards of 100 dollars, so I'd end up regretting the purchase. I just wanted to know if anyone here has one, as gas masks in general fascinate me.

>If another covid like virus outbreak occurs is a gas mask a valuable item for personal use, and a good investment?
SARS-COV-2 is just the flu. Typical military gas masks use carbon filtration which doesn't kill all bacteria or viral bodies. They are for absorbing airborne poisons and heavy gasses such as ammonia, and particulate matter such as smoke and ash. A gas mask will buy you time in a firey smoke and in a cloud of mustard gas, but it won't save you from anthrax or the plague.

One thing that completely captivates my interest and imagination is reading about genocides. Some might perceive it as an immature morbid fascination, but for me I think genocide connects aspects of history, politics and human psychology I find interesting.

I collect certain things related to genocide. I have a ‘srbosjek’ - a Serb cutter. The hand knife was used to cut the throats of Serbs during the genocide by the Croatian Ustasze.

I have always thought that beneath the veneer of human civility and empathy, most humans are under certain conditions capable of psychopathic acts of cruelty. Humans bend to social pressure with ease and our empathy is not as strong as it is performed. Lord of the Flies is an understatement.

I visited Cambodia and was really blown away by the history there. The ideology of the Khmer Rouge was fascinating. The number of people that took part in the genocide and only 3 were prosecuted.

Look at the Ukrainian genocide, it's like nature itself has decided that ukrianians are to be done away with

If their men aren't being kidnapped and sent to the meat grinder one by one, their succubi are mixing with browns and breeding themselves out of existence, it's interesting to watch

It seems almost fateful, the only lesson I can take away from it is that a nation divided is as good as conquered, if the ukranian military would've grouped together to do away with the puppet regime they'd have had a chance at survival

Stop watch BBC porn then. Majority of those succubi who decide to marry foreigners choose white. And regarding migrants, the plans are for Africa and poor Asian countries. The latter ones are not that brown.

Puppet regime of Muscovite ministers and pro-Moscow president was overthrown in 2014. Right now is 2025. Or are you one of those pol schizos?
