That and HONEY/ALPHA so i have the white alpha set. I got that off someone as well. I can say this, Señor Siete is very organized.

Separate shipments! Unless you PM the bot to update your shipping address to DO NOT SHIP. Or PM 7bit… he's busy.

I will not clear your order until someone shows up who collects money in payPal and Google Wallet.


BTW: I've changed the strategy and pack now in invoice number order all small kits and single keys (up to 4 keys). This will take only a few more days.

IMPORTANT:

I need a new Google Wallet and
PayPal money collector!

So, uh, tracking numbers… those of us with tracked shipping get an update from the bot or a PM from you?

The way I've seen your shipping work before is more chaotic. (Keep checking the thread.) But I've not had tracking before.

I will set something up, so the bot can tell you ypur tracking number. I did not yet ship anything, but next week the first few packages will definitely ship.

All hail the bot, our mighty overlord!

I wonder how much faster, if any, these shipments will be. Usually I have to wait weeks for your CherryMX stuff.

So, uh, Germans start new weeks on Freitag, right?

Nein, on Montag!

Gonna have to order a keyboard for these soon, not yet, wait for it...

Will you be ready for the TRANSMIT cap for at least?

Perhaps you could wait until this is resolved before shipping anything!

I'm all paid up, with no plans for tweaks. SHIPNOW!

But SHIP NOW is in HONEYB!



But HONEY/FUNCTION2/E is in stock. Order more!

In stock at your place or 7bit's?

Don't for a second imagine I've managed to jump your place in the queue somehow!

The caps are presumably all held by the bot at their philosophical point of origin. Which would, er, mean that pyrelink must have them.

I appreciate you don't have them. But I can't keep track of whether you "have" them, for ordering purposes, or if they're 7bit's.

Round 5's been going on for so long (and been in effective hiatus for so much of that time) that I remember the beginning better than the end. Something about getting red alphas, yay! And full rows instead of just row 3. Hope I ordered those…

No joke, till 1976 weeks used to start on Sunday in Germany. Since working on sundays had (and has) heavy restrictions, it didn't change anything.

Yes those restrictions are ancient laws and the church. Totally outdated imo. In 2015 I still can`t go shopping on Sunday.

I visited Darmstadt a few years ago on a work trip, and I was there a couple weeks. On Sunday I went out to explore the local area, but there were literally no shops open. I was totally blown away, and very frustrated by the lack of options.

Scotland used to be like that — dead every Sunday — until maybe 2000 or so. No one was going to church, though. It just seemed to be a time for coordinated hangovers after Saturday night.

wait‽ WHAT‽ HONEY/FUNCTION2/E is a real thing‽

Still no keys with a capital ẞ. (Because there is no convention how one should look like, so we stick the minuscle).

Little Eszett looks like big B. So big Eszett should look like little b. Only logical.

It looks more like the small Greek beta, β. ßβ. OK, maybe not in Verdana or whatever your screen font is. (They're much closer in Calibri.)

Unfortunately, the capital of beta looks identical to B, so that's not going to work out very well.

Is "capital eszett" in Unicode? If so, you have a model. If not, you can't type it anyhow.

I thought the eszett had been officially dropped a few years ago anyway?

I'm still using it whenever I can though (that's once every leap year), 'cause I'm ooold school baby.

It's not completely gone, its use has just been thinned out by way of a orthography reform.

In my opinion, that was a missed opportunity. Not that I don't like the ß, but all they caused was confusion, methinks.

EDIT: Orthography. Oh, the irony...

No, it hasn't been dropped, they just changed the rules on when to use it to make it more consistent. If the vocal before it is pronounced short we now use "ss", and if it's long, it's "ß". So "daß" (that) is now "dass", "muß" (must) is now "muss", but "Straße" (street) is still "Straße" and "groß" (big, tall) is still "groß".

Capital ß is just an academic thing and officially not part of German, but it's still been in Unicode for some time for whatever reason. ẞ never appears at the beginning of a word in German, and it is normally replaced by "SS" when capitalizing whole words, but capital ß can be useful in more pathological cases, e.g. in this sentence here.

Well, ß has actually been dropped in Swiss Standard German (not to be confused with Swiss German). We write "Strasse" and "gross" around here.

Yes, but that was some 100 years ago, right?

Feels like we've been waiting that long. But, unbelievably, Round 5 only started 2 years ago…

"only"!

No significant changes in orthography have even happened yet! That's fast.

Emoji doubleshots must be coming next…
