4L of fluids, currently around 3L of water + 1L of milk.

If you're awake for around 16 hours, not sure why drinking an average of 500ml of fluids every 2 hours seems excessive to you. Or why drinking 1L of fluids every 2 hours (when your agenda for the day includes doing a 15 mile hike in hot weather) is considered a lot.

If what I've described above would make you go to the bathroom every 30 mins, perhaps see a doctor.

I pace myself, I don't drink all of that at once, or quickly, and its not all water. Some of that fluid count is milk

Not trolling. And it's 8L of fluid if I hiked 12-15 miles in hot climate that day. Not 8L on the hike itself

I mean sure, that's sort of a given. Are you suggesting you don't piss?

Maybe you just hike differently to what I assumed.

I do the occasional hike anywhere from 4-8 miles and I usually drink an extra 1-2L for the day - that's how I reckon I'd double my intake for a 12-15 mile hike. I don't piss like a race horse, the hikes are in 95-105 degree weather, and I go at pace. To each their own.

You are also listed and quoted on their homepage. You must really, really like it I guess

I drink at least 4L of fluid on a normal day. For what you describe I'd probably double it.

Fighting a war on two fronts did Germany in. Do some research on what contributed to that 20m and you’ll soon realize the number didn’t have to be nearly that high. Stalin was a political genius, but almost as atrocious as Hitler when it came to human rights

Their model is not exclusively space tourism. I imagine this is either PR or fundraising (or a mix of the two).

Can you explain/expand on why you think it’s natural selection?

From my understanding a lot of it was pills too. Turinabol, an oral steroid, was invented in East Germany and to my knowledge used heavily during the doping years

I’d be interested to see a breakdown of reasons the keyboards failed for each model year.

And what percentage of the pre butterfly design were because of sand/dust etc. then contrast that to the butterfly design percentage. They could have merely improved reliability in another way(s) with the butterfly design.

I don’t dispute that. My point is they half-assed the fix

I fail to see how what they did is change “in a significant way”. It seems more of a bandaid to me. It almost signals an unwillingness to fundamentally change the keyboard design for the better

They didn't really fix it though, did they?
