The custom keycaps were great, an off the shelf option will never be as personal an instrument as The Weapon Of Choice was. It was also just a solid build.
I would pay A Lot to get another one like this from another mfr.

They've got a whole page on this, mostly about evils and pitfalls of margin. basiccapital.com/learn/margin...
The benefit of margin is if the market crashes you don't lose your house! The loan collateral is part of your brokerage acct.
Their own product is *super* vague on their collateral:

![Picture of text (Wikipedia excerpt):
Stephen is chiefly remembered in connection with his conduct towards the remains of Pope Formosus. The rotting corpse of Formosus was exhumed and put on trial, before an unwilling synod of the Roman clergy, in the so-called Cadaver Synod in January 897. Pressure from the Spoleto contingent and Stephen's fury with Formosus probably precipitated this extraordinary event. [4] With the corpse propped up on a throne, a deacon was appointed to answer for the deceased pontiff. During the trial, Formosus's corpse was condemned for performing the functions of a bishop when he had been deposed and for accepting the papacy while he was the bishop of Portus, among other revived charges that had been levelled against him in the strife during the pontificate of John VIII. The corpse was found guilty, stripped of its sacred vestments, deprived of three fingers of its right hand (the blessing fingers), clad in the garb of a layman, and quickly buried; it was then re-exhumed and thrown in the Tiber. All ordinations performed by Formosus were annulled.

I was confused about the mention of the $100 (or is it $200?) de minimis tariff in context of the 145%... Is that a floor? Ceiling? Additional?
At least on jlcpcb's pricing tool, they're going with "it's 145-175%".

Oh that's an interesting design! What do you like about it?
I have this "pistol"-style Knipex a few years ago and never looked back. Handles 10-24AWG and lets you adjust the stripped end length quickly, precisely, and repeatably. How does that one compare?

Haven't posted about it much but I'm designing and building an analog semi-modular synth from scratch. Here's photos of the completed analog sound chain and an LFO module I just finished.

We could have had a protected shoulder lane on Valencia St for bikes, but instead we got this innovation. If you feel the need to mail a full page of instructions to everyone within a mile of the street explaining its safe use... Maybe rethink your plan?

Looking stylish, Daisy! Potato just got one this week too. The back half of the dog doesn't work so good anymore and he needs a hand getting up the stairs to the apartment.

This is Potato. He usually makes either a short high pitched "HOOT!" When sad (like when he's alone) it's a long mournful "ARROOOOO". And when panicked like when a stranger shows up at the door and he must defend the home, a honking, bleating "OOOOORT!"
