102km today in 5 hours and 2 minutes. Absolute nightmare of a headwind on the way back. Total this year: 179km

I use clipless SPD pedals. Nice and durable for both the pedal and cleat compared to SPD-SL cleats. They take a bit of getting used to; I fell over a few times stopping at stop signs or stop lights when I first started, but now I couldn't ride without them.

A lot of design choices in new cars, especially EVs, are beyond stupid. Give me functionality, not fancy touch screens.

It's that time of year again! Time to annoy every one here with my rides. Today was the first ride of the season. 77km in 3 hours 38 minutes. I was only originally aiming for 60km, but I was feeling pretty good around the 30km mark. I regretted it around the 50km mark, though. My legs feel like spaghetti noodles right now. I didn't do any training or anything over the winter, so this is my first time back on the bike since October. I am really feeling it. Total this year so far: 77km

This is the keyboard I use, but I had it modded to allow the switches to be hot swappable. Doubled the total cost of the keyboard, but totally worth it. None of the other split or ergo boards appealed to me, particularly as I'd been using the membrane version of this for the last seven years.

I used a light amount of liquid lube using the "bag lube" method and then dipped the ends in 205g like you recommended. It seems to have sorted it out.

I'm around 190cm. I should have got a size 61, but got a 58 instead as it was on clearance and $700 off. I also prefer a more upright riding position as I do long-distance endurance riding, usually between 100-162km a ride, hence the extender. I prefer aluminium over carbon. You can dent it, smash it, scratch it, scrape it, and it keeps going. To me, it's the sweet spot between steel and carbon without the price of titanium.

I got my bike back from the shop last weekend. They had to put an extender to raise the handlebars up high enough for my fit. The joys of being tall.

God damn, Mr. Bells has a voice I could listen read the phone book.

I got the Kinesis Edge with Cherry MX Browns. The website says "Genuine Cherry MX Switches," so I'm inclined to believe that they're not fake. I had the keyboard modded to make it hot swappable. @GarlicDeliverySystem I'll check out the forcebreak mod. If I were to just replace the switches, any recommendations? @kitnoman I'll investigate Silvers. Thanks! @Eigenvektor I didn't think it was necessary since I was posting in "Peripherals" rather than "Networking," But I did add a "mechanical keyboard" tag to the post. @podkall That worked! Amazing!

Context: So I got myself a mechanical keyboard (Kinesis Edge, modded to make it hot swappable) with cherry MX browns and, while I love the feel and sound, there is absolutely horrible spring ping and I've tried everything from foam to a desk pad to lubing the switches and nothing seems to work. It is driving me nuts! I think I've isolated it to the springs in the switches when I release the key. ("Ping" is the correct term here, right?). I have read every article and post I can find and tried everything that was recommended. The keyboard is hot swappable, so I was wondering: would simply getting different switches be a potential solution? If so, any recommendations for something similar to a cherry MX brown?

I wonder what the aspect ratio of that setup was.

I used to watch his channels a lot, but moved more over to ShoddyCast as MatPat looked more at lore and less at science.

The realm of men is truly a womb of horrors.

Given David's personal characteristics, I think it's understandable that he'd use more lube than someone like Linus would deem necessary.
