20+ years since I first listened to Radio by The Avalanches I looked up the lyrics to discover they are, in fact, not "Selling those souls, selling those souls, selling those souls for two noodles"

Knife-wielding man run over twice during three-man cul-de-sac brawl It's not known why the fight broke out

"Three-Man Cul-de-Sac Brawl" sounds like a Half Man Half Biscuit album

Great show tonight, congratulations on the book and tour! I emailed a scan of the map from the Mungo Park book to the address on your website, just notifying you in case it gets consigned to the depths of the spam directory.

I read that growing up! I should find a copy again - I'll likely get a lot more of the jokes 30ish years on...

I've found it can be a little strange depending on if you're using a 2.4G dongle or on a mac - sometimes these keys can be swapped around. It you're not swapping which machine you're on then some combination of "NUHS NUBS \ `" will work out.

depending on which board (though I think most keychrons support it), you can remap keys with usevia.app. I generally use the UK keyboard layout in the OS and then remap Fn+` (functions are normally layer 1) to NUHS (Non-US Hash) and then the backslash key to NUBS (Non-US backslash).

I really enjoy Trollfest in a similar way - they do a lot of very fun metal, often using balkan instuments and rhythms. They had a go at Eurovision a few years back and were robbed :P

A packet of filled tofu from a chinese supermarket.  The text on the packaging says: "Filled Tofu, Crispy outside and tender inside".  Underneath that it says "Explosive Slurry" and "Rich bean aroma"

The little round + and - buttons are a nice touch, but since i have media buttons on the side already i mapped them to middle click and left click mouse buttons respectively. I use an old mac trackpad mostly, so those are actually useful. Man I love VIA - never going to get a kb without it again.

I'm very happy with the side buttons. I cut a square of coloured gel sheets (measured 12.7mm but my cutting was rubbish so i ended up fettling them a fair bit) and the stickers I found on amazon from an Austrian company that makes replacement legends for hi-fi systems.

It's quite clacky, but still fairly muted. The Lupines are listed as 62 grams, but feel significantly less - definitely lighter feeling than, say, Gateron Pro Yellow 3.0. I'm only rarely bottoming out on them though so definite success.

On an orange background is an anodized teal keyboard 65% with slightly lighter teal keycaps.  The keycaps have legends in red, white, yellow and blue.  There are three media keys on each side in solid red, white and yellow with black legends.

Very pleased with my latest keyboard build - Daring Run Polygon-7 with Durock Lupine switches. The keycaps are a GMK Expo clone apart from the side ones which are two-part flat keycaps with coloured film and media stickers.

he tried this trick in the island of Guernsey as well, apparently driving out all of the toads to the nearby island of Jersey. it's their loss - they're our toads now and they can't have them back.
