Point taken, but none of the things you just mentioned involved the president of Syria.

Here’s an easy way to remember: One guy overthrew a murderous dictator and replaced it with a secular democracy. The other guy is a murderous dictator monarch ruling over a religious state.

I dig the sentiment, but video says the president of Syria was wanted for Khashoggi's murder, and that's important to correct. The video does show the man who ordered Khashoggi's murder right after saying that, but different man / different country.

What board is this?

Sometimes this is caused by switches with "long pole" stems. When that's the cause, the lowest point of the stabilizer and switch don't match, making it like a see-saw.

The space bar will become more flexible when heated in water, but without a lot of constant, steady pressure, it will bend as it cools. You may end up adding a bend where there isn't currently one.

Fundamentally, the left stem on the space bar is failing to grip the stabilizer.

Here's what I do: Cut two very small squares of cellophane, from a sandwich bag for example. Carefully rest the cellophane squares on the stabs and press the space bar down onto them. Then, the stems should grip.
