    How about MNT Reform or it’s Pocket little brother?

    They get you

    • Full mechanical keyboards, ortholinear if you’re into that
    • Modern components
    • HIGHLY modular and repairable - their main thrust is making messing with your internals accessible
    • No sticky goo coating
    • Cyberdeck aesthetics (esp the Pocket reform)

    They do NOT get you

    • Low price - you didn’t mention a budget constraint
    • Thin. They are chunky kids, though certainly the Pocket reform has a reasonably portable profile












  • Just in case you’re not just satirically listing things that are already awful;

    Supermarkets increase their “retention” by limiting signage to keep you wandering and avoid “just get that thing and go” shopping. I don’t know how common this is, but when I was a kid the major supermarkets had long lists of what items were in each aisle, plus highly visible signs in the aisle to show exactly where each category was. Now days at the major chains those in aisle signs are completely gone, and the categories have been whittled down to a few major categories; most products aren’t represented on the sign at all e.g. you have to assume “cake mix/decorating” are in the same aisle as “flour”.

    Unskippable ads on all pumps are absolutely a thing that are getting more popular. Mobil is particularly bad for it in my experience.
