"Basic" is never good news. In software or in hardware…
Still, NIBs are always pretty. The eighties weren't all yellow. Who knew?

Guano is also bird shit? I'd only ever heard it said for bats before. Learn something new every day…

I've known guano is bird shit ever since I read the James Bond book Dr. No. In the book, Bond kills Dr. No by covering him in guano. I suppose the movie makers decided a huge explosion was more exciting than seeing the villain covered in steaming bird shit.

Douché. Guano is a popular word on nature shows over here (the BBC just loves to stick David Attenborough in a cave with half a million bats a few times each year) and yet we call the avian variety "bird shite" without fail. Well, "bird poo" on the Beeb before the watershed, I suppose.
For some reason, people here seem to be perfectly oblivious to gull guano (which is absolutely everywhere), pigeon guano (which is why all our statues have bright white mullets), bat guano, and the dog and even human equivalent. (Yes, we have hoboes, they're delightful.) Then whenever Edinburghers go abroad, they come back and complain about how filthy the rest of the world is.
Trust me, Naples is in good shape compared to this place. No matter the bollocks my local-living ex-Edinburgh guide was telling me when I was there.
I'd call it hypocrisy, but it seems to run deeper than that. They just literally never notice.

since we are at it... wasn't it "touché" 
no comments on Naples situation. Move along, there's nothing to see here.Guano (via Spanish, ultimately from the Quechua wanu) is the excrement of seabirds, cave-dwelling bats, pinnipeds, or (in English usage) birds more generally.

Possibly cherry MX Blue in that keyboard- but be aware: comes from a restaurant.
A Maltron for quite some asking price here
IBM terminal battleship, 1394312 , BIN for pocket money
get your wife some keyboard fancy
or yourself some flat spherical Cherry caps - including full keyboard and computer, I'm reluctant buying this just for caps....

I know there is no posibility of dibs, which is why I didn't say which one. Anyway, I asked the seller and he doesn't want to ship international so point moot.

I'm pretty sure that he means that he pays for the whole set, and if you could proxy for him then he would give you the 300 switches that you asked for as a thank-you... Though if you feel like giving away free switches then I'm in tookint wrote:err... you want 500 switches for free?wheybags wrote:I'll give you 300 if you'll proxy the rest to me for free(Ireland)
