The ‘ride height’ (?) of the keys looks spot on without needing spacers or any other work arounds. And I’m very much liking the board as a whole. But I’ll have to build this out to fully test it before I can update the design.

BTW the slight space to the right of the enter key is intentional. The ‘464 uses a wider enter key and I couldn’t find a way to work around it with standard key sizes.

#Alberta is already getting their knickers in a knot at the possibility that their man Pierre might not be running the show after all.

That province makes up about 12% of Canada's population, but their outrage & "hurt feelings" are always disproportionately high.

The first comment there was along the lines of "I live in Alberta and I'm switching to the Libs"; last survey I saw had "becoming a state is a good idea" at 19%; and with the way Smith is screwing the province, things are not looking great for the CPC. They'll probably take the province as usual, but it will be interesting to look at the winning margins and voter turnout.

Defeat the common enemy first then go back to our internal grievances, many of which are legitimate.

The image is a meme featuring a sequence of four panels with an animated character and movie posters. The top panel shows the character with a wide, excited smile, accompanied by the text, "When your DM says they just watched a movie and are going to use it as inspiration for their next D&D game." The second panel shows the character with a slightly less enthusiastic expression, and the third panel shows the character with a more concerned look. The fourth panel shows the character with a worried expression, and the text "made with mematic" is visible in the bottom left corner. The movie posters displayed in the right column, from top to bottom, are for "Jumanji," "Labyrinth," "Silent Hill," and "Hellraiser." Each poster is associated with the character's changing expressions, suggesting a progression from excitement to concern as the character anticipates the DM's choice of movie for the D&D game.
