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.
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.
