The community uses bounce and flex interchangeably and idk if there’s technically a distinction between them, but for me: flex is all about flexibility of the pcb and maybe plate, and bounce is about the vertical movement of the whole pcb + plate. Both contribute to a soft typing experience.

For example, the tiger80 has really thick gaskets (although a bit different because I think it relies a bit on a pocket of air?) and a 1.2mm pcb with long flex cuts across each row. That has a super soft typing feel and imo very satisfying.

I have a mode65 thats top mount and I have a flex cut solder pcb and half plate. Its not bouncing up and down like gaskets allow, but its still very flexible with a flex cut on top and below the alphas. Also a soft typing feel and satisfying.

I think its funny you mention people are disappointed when its not obviously flexy, because the community in the west hates flex cuts because of the sound, and maybe it could be because bigger content creators have stated that flex cuts aren’t for them. But I’ve heard flex cuts are popular in the east which is why so many boards came out with flex cuts. And so it seems to me people just don’t want a stiff board.

People loved the qk65 despite its flex cuts. Imo, those flex cuts did nothing lol. I had one, sold it because it felt stiff, but everyone else loved it. It wasn’t stiff enough to make my fingers tired after a while, but I was just disappointed because content creators mentioned flex and bounce and that board practically had neither for me. Imo, the gasket socks just weren’t thick enough. There was almost no bounce, and the flex cuts were so small they didn’t allow much more flex than if it were to have no flex cuts.

So I think if you guys implement thick gaskets people would appreciate it. Because a flexible pcb isn’t well received apparently, so I guess the next route is looking to make the board feel soft by making it bouncy.

I don’t think a board needs to be super flexy for me to buy one, even though I love flexy boards, there is such a thing as too much. I’ve realized that now with my plateless jris65 that I’ve modded to not bottom out when I press hard.

But then it is the translation that adapts it? I don’t get it. Not saying you are not right. Or that I am wrong. Just that with reading it in English and googling the names of the monsters, they all connected to polish folklore. Which was cool. I did not google every single one of them, just the ones with trickier descriptions. From there I found also their legends which were from polish myths and fables. Good that it is more diverse and not only Polish stuff is there.

Still hate Yennefer tho hahaha

Lmao here is ChatGPT's Caesarland creepypasta:

Caesarland was a popular arcade restaurant in the heart of town, famous for its delicious pizzas and fun games. But behind the bright lights and happy customers, there was a dark secret lurking within the walls of the establishment.

Legend has it that the mascot of Little Caesar's, a cartoonish character named Caesar, had come to life and was wandering the halls of Caesarland after hours. Some employees claimed to have seen him moving on his own, his eyes glowing red in the darkness.

One night, a group of teenagers dared each other to spend the night inside Caesarland to see if the rumors were true. They entered the building just as it was closing, and as the night wore on, they began to feel like they were not alone.

Strange noises echoed through the empty halls, and the air grew colder as they explored the dark corners of the arcade. And then, they saw him. The Little Caesar's mascot, standing at the end of the hallway, his eyes blazing with an otherworldly light.

The teens tried to run, but the doors were locked, and they found themselves trapped inside the haunted arcade. Caesar seemed to be following them, his footsteps getting louder and louder as he closed in on them.

As the night dragged on, the teens realized that Caesar wasn't just a cartoon character brought to life. He was something else entirely, something dark and malevolent that had been waiting for its chance to escape from the confines of the arcade.

In the end, only one of the teenagers managed to escape from Caesarland, and even he couldn't explain what had happened that night. But to this day, people whisper about the haunted arcade, and warn each other not to stay too long after closing time, lest they fall victim to the Little Caesar's mascot and his insatiable hunger for souls

Nope. Of course you aren’t comfortable with your gf going to a hotel room with another guy. You could have asked where she was going and picked her up though. I think you ended the conversation because you were put off. I don’t blame you but don’t say you couldn’t pick her up. All you had to do was ask where she was going.

First, the obvious: brush your teeth, floss, and use mouthwash first thing in the morning and before bed. Now, the not so obvious: Buy a tongue scraper, add that to the routine, and make sure you use it all the way at the back of your tongue, too. If you still have your tonsils, you may also have tonsil stones. You can find many videos on how to remove them. I didn't start getting tonsil stones until recently, and I hate them. If there's no improvement, I would try to make a dentist appointment to see if you might be dealing with cavities or not cleaning well enough.

The original goal was 20. Go fund me allows you to up the goal when the OG was reached. It reached so fast and so many were willing to give, my guess is they just upped it. Money can give his life back but it can help with anything they need to overcome the grief. I lost my father and when we got the insurance money it was just things like knowing "instead of $20 of gas I'll fill the tank" can put your mind in a better place.

I think "pre-tax" means earnings (because they haven't been taxed yet and could, potentially, be subject to taxation if you withdraw them instead of rolling over).

As for the roller/conversion, I think they'll sell what you have and purchase it again in the new account. The difference in value should be minimal if they sell and buy within the same day or two. But of course it's possible if the market crashes or something, that the value will change.
