Bro, if you gotta strip it down to metal every year then you are not cleaning it nearly well enough day to day. Stripping it down to bare metal every 50 years might even be too frequently imho.

Just get a lodge and use it a lot. It will get good fast. Alternatively go check Craigslist or ebay or shopgoodwill for something cheap that looks good to you.

The difference between cast irons is pretty small at the end of the day is pretty tiny and you shouldn’t spend too much money or brain power on getting one. You don’t need to be too selective because the biggest determing factors are how heavily seasoned it is and how practiced you are using it so you are better off just getting something and using it rather than looking for the perfect pan. I don’t even know who made my main pan, it just says “Taiwan” lol

I LOVE the beeper in those keyboards! So happy to see one loved and working with it’s machine. ❤️

Angry John Brown noises

AI always seems to struggle with people that are different. If you ask it for a person with an expression then everyone in the background also looks that way. Less of a big deal to fuck up than this though.

There is more to having a good immune system than “don’t be malnourished”

Clean keycaps with denture tablets, move up to soap and water with a sponge if needed, flitz polish as a last resort (it will wear the caps down, other two are perfectly safe). Caps are doubleshot iirc so no risk of wearing off the legends.

Retrobrite at your own peril. I do not advise. That said, only ABS plastic goes yellow with age, so the same techniques for retrobriting will work on both caps and case.

Cleaning the spring with conventional rust removers is up to you but the springs will rust again so I say to leave the rust on to protect against future rust. Oiling the springs would help though.

I love to see old tech being loved and treasured. Cheers to this and may every old computer have such a loving home.

Old people needs (sic) to bitch less about getting made fun of and make fewer sweeping generalizations.

I go to city council biweekly. Am I allowed to bitch? I didn’t know I needed your approval.

God don’t remind me of C&C4. What a disappointment

Ya this list was very focused on zoomer shooters like tarkov and fortnite.

Op, please patent it so no other company can use it for the next 20 years

Glad you enjoyed the video! The unicomps really are extremely similar to the model Ms of 1985. It is funny how there has been less change to this model of board through 4 decades and 3 companies making them than there was in the prior 10 years of IBM’s keyboards!

I guess by 1985 they found pretty much the perfect design for a keyboard lol

You get it

This is high art and belongs in a museum. I’m not joking.

“Has gone through thousand of change of seasons” just doesn’t have the same ring to it

Why would these planes drop like bricks?

What about mercari?

Thank you! I put some work into that board to make it sound a bit nicer than normal (greasing the barrels with benalene) and I’m proud of the results
