I prefer a quiet switch tbh, but I still want that tactile feel as well for I want that haptic feedback as I type while maintaining a quiet sound if such a switch exists. If it does exists, I bet it’s going to be that quite pricey but at least in the long run it’s worth it.

Then you might want the Akko Penguin. My swap only cost me about $32. I bought two boxes of switches ( 45 each ) on Amazon during a sale, but I think at full price they are $19 a box, so it would be $38.
Milktooth ( he is on youtube, and has great comparison videos ) sells them in boxes of 10 for $3.10 a box, and also have the best comparison and searching I have seen. I am probably going to buy a few boxes to finish off my other keyboard.

Thanks for the suggestion, for now I am sticking with the my full sized keyboard’s default switches for they are quiet enough for use, especially when that keyboard to my surprise has 4 damn foam inside that dampens the sound, and it came out as stock. The only thing that I am going to replace from it would be the key caps, since it uses Double Shot ABS keycaps which they are not bad, but I think icing the key caps a bit with PBT Double Shots would make it better.

Working all day. Today I was on my first online business meeting. Luckily I found tools for transcribing videos at https://www.bluedothq.com/blog/chorus-ai-competitors-alternatives to save my time. Some tools can identify speakers and label transcripts, which can save time during editing too. I like that many transcription tools offer free trials or limited free tiers, but for higher accuracy and features, you may need a paid plan. That’s convy.

Picked a small package from post office. It was from Genelec.
Seems that some of my writings or social media posting got picked by their radar and something is to come in the future. So they send something nice as starters.
It’s nice to have my own little part in good things.

Shot a +1 today but had my arse (and wallet) absolutely handed to me by a Ladies European Tour Member - 5&4.
Dreams of giving up work to turn pro need to be reevaluated and put on hold 
Could have been worse - atleast I didn’t drive my car through the parking lot wall in a “playing shit” temper like this guy did

I watched Christmas movies and tv shows. That’s entertaining. I found thousands great movies and tv shows on https://ww25.soap2day.day/. There are collections of movies in all genres and I can sort them by genre, year of release, actor to find what I’m looking for. If I want to choose a really interesting TV show I just read its description and check the ratings left by other users.

Not today, but rather Friday, I spent 9 hours at the hospital. I am dealing with an unexplained hypertensive crisis, and they were doing testing and imaging. I apparently had an inferior infarct some time in the past, but am doing OK now. While having BP in around 200 / 110, I am not responding to meds.
edit - While UNMC was great, I still do not recommend spending that much time at any hospital while awake.

Dang buddy, I hope they get it sorted out and you get safe and sound for the holidays!

Thanks, I have a feeling I am going to be living with this for a while.
The last time I did the diuretic, beta blocker, and calcium channel blocker cocktail, they managed to get my BP down about 20 points, which is a nice start, but isn’t going to cut it.

At least it sounds like you [mostly] know what you’re in for, so in the meantime we’ll be rooting for you and waiting for the good news!

sigh I mean I ordered the Dunu Lyre Mini clear as day, yet they have sent me the wrong item, and this is from a seller that I had previous past transactions with that I’ve never had any issues back then, until now. Man this shit sucks, and no I am not using some damn earbuds from Fiio even if it is that good.
I filed for a return and refund and I do hope they’ll honor it, for that is still money that is being wasted on me.

I wish you all the best for your health brother, please also look into some natural remedies
Lol by now I feel like the HFGHerbalist always telling people to look into nature 
Lavender comes to mind to lower blood pressure.
But also one must raise the question why is the pressure high?
Usually it is because of arteriosclerosis so you’ll benefit from everything that counters that aswell, Garlic for example and of course a healthy diet aswell as a positive mindset
You got this!

I made pesto this evening, so I got the garlic and basil.
Apparently potassium lowers bp, so I picked up a bunch of bananas. I can always make bread with them if I don’t eat them all in a timely fashion.

This is so on point, and when I posted I figured you and a few others would have some natural options that would help.
My potassium is low, which can make a difference in BP. This mostly means I get to have a bit of herbal tea, use garlic, and snack on bananas. Yogurt is a regular evening snack, which is supposed to be good.
I have been on a “from scratch” cooking kick for most of the two years, so I am more aware of what I am putting in my body than I used to be. I did this initially to deal with some high sodium levels, and it took me just a few months to get that sorted out. I am hoping I can have similar results with this.
On that front, my biggest risk factors right now are my weight ( I have put about 30 pounds in the last two years ), I eat too much red meat ( I love grilling a bit too much ), and my age ( I am 5 weeks away from 57 ).
They didn’t have any physical or obvious causes from the labs, but mostly some data that matched the symptoms. The part that is frustrating is that despite taking meds, they don’t really have much impact for me.
I would also assume my life situation is stress inducing. It took a coworker to point out that out to me, that I am dealing with two ongoing things at home ( a disabled wife, and a learning disabled adult child ), plus I am in a job that most folks would describe as stressful, and is certainly high stakes ( I write mission planning software for STRATCOM ). This might be the point where I consider going back to teaching, but that would be a big pay cut ( which is just a different type of stress ).

Good to hear that you are aware of all this and take better care of what you eat, but yeah red meat is probably not the best in your situation and should be treated as something special every once in a while and not consumed on a regular basis.
Even though food is medicine the use of supplements additionaly might be helpful…i take quite a lot of stuff and got a packed pill dispenser but good to know that everything in there is coming from nature and not out of the greedy hands of the pharmaceutical complex.
I can only imagine how tough it must be taking care of a disabled wife and a child that also needs your help and attention…on top a stressfull job…phew…
If I had to choose i would always choose health over money. It will always work out somehow but what brings you all the money in the world if you are not healthy to also spend and enjoy it?
For stress management i suggest looking into breathwork and meditation.
It is immense how much you can achieve with 10min of breathing excercises every day (+10min meditation)
To lower blood pressure you can practice alternate nostrill breathing (Nadi Shodana) which is super easy and very effective.
You can not always control the situation but you can for sure control how you react to it!
Much love!

I am having a nice morning playing with the gear!
I seem to be fidgeting with the IEMs the most, partaking in a number of tip and cable rolls. Having a good bit of fun doing it, too. Exploring what is possible is always enjoyable for me. My new Kinera cable has found its way onto the PA02 - and I think it is going to stay there. Likewise, the Dunu cable is fantastic on the P7. A win-win!
