Saw a documentary / experiement once. A regiment of troops were split 50/50. They had the same foodstuffs (carrot, some meat, glass of water, etc) for dinner, same amounts. Half the troops ate their dinner with each foodstuff prepared seperately. The other half had their dinner prepared as a soup.

4 hours later, the first half was already hungry again, whereas the half that had dined on soup still felt full.

Seems opposite to how I thought the digestion would handle those situations.

I’m using the ultra-thin aluminium keyboard now. I try to change the layout to Dvorak, and the F and J keys just can’t fit in!!! The F, H, J and U key is annoying!!!!! It’s rotated 90º!!

I got the Saeco Titan 12/11, and have to say, it’s poorly made and complete crap..
Like yours, The burr was poorly made, and very low quality. Tried a friends Bodum Bistro made a much better grind for me.. Especially since im using French Press most of the time.

Pretty much the worst write up on how to do this. This guy is an idiot.

Awesome! The only thing to add is that if you need to take the smaller keys off the top row of the keyboard to clean them as I did, you will need to pry them up from the left side of the key instead of the top. Other wise, it’s the same procedure for them as well.

Folks,

Bought a used aluminum keyboard. Worked flawlessly for weeks. Then, slowly but
inevitably, it started getting balky…

It’s a strange assortment of keys whose scissors are on “sideways”:

- The skinny little function keys across the top, which are tricky to remove. At least one of the scissor “axles” (on the top and bottom center, for these keys) will likely break. At least that was the case for me. It’s possible a previous owner of the keyboard broke ‘em, though .

- At least “F” and “J” (possibly others: I only removed the sticky keys) are rotated so that the “top” of the mechanism is to the right.

- Left shift has *two* scissors and a metal stabilizer bar running across the *bottom* of the key.

- Left control also has a stabilizer bar, but it runs across the *top* of the key.

Happy typing,

Dave
