In Vietnam 2003 civic very expensive still because tax import car very high ạ but keyboard from China ship cheap cheap ạ your math not work here ạ I think keep keyboard is better investment actually ạ
Bro this is interesting. In Chicago old civic is everywhere like starbucks. But mechanical keyboard? Very rare rare. My coworker think I am crazy spend $300 on keycap. I say bro you spend $300 on bar every weekend. At least keycap don't give hangover.
Nadia you win already. Don't let anyone tell you different gan.

I am administrating Linux from 2012 and I am telling you: this thread is like watching RAID array degrade in real time. Many warnings, nobody acts.
Nadia, you have backup plan for when civic die? Public transport in Riga? I check and bus ticket is 1.15 EUR. Keyboard cannot drive you to server room at 3 AM.
Riga has night bus? Sometimes. Does it go to the colo? No. Does it smell like hope? Also no.
My backup plan is named "Māris with van." He charges 25 EUR for emergency transport and knows three words of English. We have an understanding.
The keyboards stay. The civic stays until it doesn't. This is not a data center, I do not need 99.99%.

This hurt me to read. In São Paulo traffic, 99.99% is minimum for sanity. My friend with civic 2004? He have spare car. Yes. Two civics. One for drive, one for parts. This is Brazilian engineering.
Keyboard collection with no backup car is like single region deployment. You learn or you cry.
Finally someone who understands. I pay for five cloud providers and you people are out here with one civic and no failover.
My keyboards live in Singapore humidity. I have three dehumidifiers running 24/7. Cost more than the keyboards. The cloud bills? Don't ask.
Please tell me you log humidity metrics. Please. I need to know someone is graphing this.
Ran a quick benchmark on my own setup: keyboard drawer, silica gel, passive cooling. RH stable at 45%. Zero recurring cost. Sometimes low-tech beats multi-cloud.
Nadia's civic is passive cooling for engine. Also zero recurring cost until boom.

Ordnung muss sein. In Hamburg we have HVV and it runs on schedule. If car dies, I take train. If train dies, I take bus. If bus dies, I walk. Each layer documented.
Nadia, your civic is like running production on consumer SSD. Possible, but you wake up at night wondering. The keyboard collection? At least you know the MTBF of Cherry MX.
I wake up at night wondering why I bought SA profile keycaps. The civic I can ignore. It is a known unknown. The keycaps were an unknown unknown and now my pinky finger has opinions.
GMK Olivia round 2 shipping notification just arrived. Value up another $120. Car still $800. Gap widening.
Also Hamburg here. What is shipping cost for GMK to EU now? Last group buy I paid 23 EUR VAT plus DHL handling fee. For plastic. My car insurance is 280 EUR/year. The math is broken somewhere.
