I loled
Kept a hand knit wool scarf (they made for me) for around a decade. Outgrew the style but it was a damn good scarf.
Its possible some wires got crossed behind scenes, some database/software mixup.
Maybe email proton support if you're concerned? I've had some similar mixup happen with banking and they got it all sorted after I complained (I was getting emails intended for someone else).
Edit: either way, I think you should let them know in case its phishing or something broken on their end.
That is their official email address. Did you make an Alias or something and you forgot?
This is my local coffee roaster, there's 30 different raw beans to choose from. You choose your roast (and grind if you want) and in about 10-15 mins you have freshly roasted coffee made to order. They usually have 2 different decaf options to choose from and they definitely changed my opinion about decaf, best I've ever had.
Agreed. I live in Japan and self censor what I say online, avoid leaving negative but truthful business reviews, because there is a very real risk of being sued for libel.
Yes, if you only consider the letter of the law. But the spirit of the law and the pro-business, pro-those-in-power courts rarely rule in the individual's favor. The laws weren't made for you the individual.
Don't Get Sued! Libel, Slander, and Defamation Laws in Japan
More relevant discussion here about the concept of face.
edit: Key comment here:
"The law in Japan has a cultural and legal background in much older laws about "damage to honour". Anything that damages someone's social standing, regardless of whether a specific claim is being made, is not on and is liable to be considered defamatory. Further, the lack of a specific claim makes the "truth and public interest" bar much, much harder to meet since you can't claim that your statement was truthful or in the public interest if there's no specific claim the business or person can respond to. If you're just being insulting you're one a one-way trip to a legal spanking."

Edit 2: I dug up some China specific info: "In Understanding and Application of the 1993 Answers, the SPC [Supreme People's Court] clarified that truth was NOT a defense to defamation. If a work insults and damages a person’s reputation, it is defamatory even if true."
I'm having trouble finding more info about the specifics of the ruling in the Tesla case (AP, CBS, English media don't provide any info), but I'd bet my dollarydoos that the ruling relates to the Chinese civil code concerning the rights of 'reputation' and 'honor' of Tesla being infringed in this instance. The AP article misses a lot of this nuance and detail, which is unfortunate. Something like The Atlantic or the Economist, Foreign Affairs (or NYT 20 years ago) with long form articles and investigative journalism from the days of old might have provided this detail, but these days BBC, CNN, et al care more about click-thru rates so we don't get the full picture.
TLDR:
- Keyboard: System 76 Launch
- Keypad: Keychron Q0 Plus QMK Custom Number Pad
- Keycaps: XDA profile
- Switches: Cherry MX SPEED SILVER Switches RGB
- Wristpad: Keychron Wooden Palm Rest (Wooden / K3 / K3 Pro / K7 / K7 Pro / S1 PR4)
www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/ for the last picture with the key layout
Details and Flavor:
This is my first hot swappable mechanical keyboard after having a few Durgod keyboards (switches are soldered to the board).
After the INCIDENT- I spilled a whole jack and coke on my Durgod - the entire thing was unsalvageable because only thing I could do was remove the keycaps, I couldn't remove the soldered switches or take it apart further. So the whole thing was a sticky mess even after drying it out, and the spacebar and CTRL were never the same. I probably could have dunked the whole thing in rubbing alcohol or something, but I just recycled it. So that led me down the path towards customizable mechanical keyboards with hot swappable switches.
Keyboard: System 76 Launch
84 Key variant of the 75% layout, with a split spacebar and extra key for super/function bottom left Super fucking useful why aren't all keyboards made like this I'm never going back to a keyboard with a full spacebar.
Keypad: Keychron Q0 Plus QMK Custom Number Pad
Has survived one accidental drink spillage, luckily it was just water (a whole pint) and I got it unplugged immediately and taken apart to dry. No shorts and all switches and the board were fine after air drying. There was some green paper taped to the bottom of the PCB that did not survive though. I bent a few pins when I manhandled the swtiches back in place, but nothing some tweezers and reinstallation couldn't fix.
Keycaps XDA profile:
I like the profile but these seem to be rarer and its difficult to find any see-through variants with the numbers/letters clear (to let the RBG shine through so I can PWN more in FPSs) Also having keys with a standardized profile, same shape keys regardless of the row, was important because of the oddball layout and key sizes for the system76 keyboards. XDA Tricolor Keycaps
Handmade Abalone Mother of Pearl Keycaps.
These are abalone round beads (meant for a necklace or bracelet) glued to 3D printed keycap mounts. Purchased for around $3 each from my local keyboard shop. They have some cool custom keycaps here: https://shop.yushakobo.jp/collections/artisan-keycaps?page=1 And even more in the store that never get put online. If you are ever in Akihabara Tokyo they are definitely worth a visit. Big disclaimer though: "Every product from this store is hella overpriced." https://maps.app.goo.gl/s4pksssA9sGrz75Z6
So look at the pretty things, but maybe check online or somewhere else first before buying anything lol
DIY if you wanna recreate the abalone keycaps:
There's a bunch of free models you can find online for the "keycap mounts" that might work. I haven't gotten around to making my own, still need to figure out a program in linux I can edit 3D models and figure out how to use it. Super easy to get them 3D printed once you get/make the models. The beads you can find on sites like esty, "mother of pearl round beads"
Switches: Cherry MX SPEED SILVER Switches RGB
I found the Kalih Box switch options from system76 to be too scratchy and I didn't like the Gatreon G Pro switches from Keychron either. I was used to the Cherry MX Speed Silver from my old Durgod keyboard. I prefer linear, super smooth feeling switches especially for gaming, so I went back to the MX speed silver.
Layout:
I used to prefer 96% or 100% (a lot of excel formulas) but the wide keyboard kept getting in the way of FPS gaming and I'd be constantly hitting my mouse against the keyboard, even with maxed out mouse DPI and minimal wrist movement, the keyboard was too wide. So for about 8 years or so I've been using a separate numpad.
Festivus Airing of the Grievances:
I had trouble customizing the keymapping on the Keychron keypad. I wish the keychron keyboard was more straightfoward to customize in linux, or at least compatible with system76's keyboard configurator https://github.com/pop-os/keyboard-configurator so I didn't have to dig through 10 year old arch forums and reddit threads.

How climate change threatens coffee production | DW Documentary
There's some great documentaries about stenophylla, resdiscovering a forgotten strain of coffee that's resistant to heat.
Coffee and climate change: rediscovering stenophylla
In the video Dr Aaron Davis describes coffee as the "canary in the coalmine, as the litmus for climate change, particularly for woody crops like coffee, cocoa, tea, wine. Crops that have to stay in the ground a long time. And what we're seeing is that the issues facing coffee also affect many other woody perennial crops"

We'll probably see some issues with stonefruit too:
A couple of years ago, no stone fruits grew in New England. Peach, nectarine, plum, and apricot trees in the region had been fooled into flowering in February because of record warm weather. When winter resumed for another few weeks, the buds died, ruining the harvest.
