The record player isn’t in the picture. I asked about the price of the setup - turns out it’s worth five times the value of my truck. The vacuum tubes there are from the 1940s.
I love my job - I get to meet so many interesting people. Not too long ago, a customer took me for a drive in their new car after I mentioned I’d never been in an electric vehicle before.
Oh so we’re doing Icelandic now. Lovely!
Just thorn. More Middle English þan Icelandic, since I’m not using eth.
Plus everyone knows Shavian is the best way to render English.

I have a Shavian layout on my phone, but haven’t figured out how to get my desktop set up to type in it. Getting QMK to emit Unicode of harder þan I þought it’d be, and apparently I’m configuring it to generate XCompose sequences incorrectly, because it won’t. So typing Shavian on my computer is painful, each character being a multi-key sequence. Defeats þe purpose.
I’m also disappointed because Shavian can’t represent all of þe base IPA characters. Half IPA vowels aren’t covered: IPA a e and i don’t have glyphs. Þe closest are 𐑭 (ɑː), 𐑧 (ɛ), and 𐑰 (iː). It should at least cover the basics. Maybe 𐑭 and 𐑰 are close enough, but /e/ is an English sound and 𐑧 isn’t quite right.
