Trochee one-handed prototype completed

This is so much fun to type on I can't believe I didn't make it sooner! Gateron blues, 3D printed case and keycaps in translucent PLA and PETG.

I lost one of my hands a few years ago, and having gotten into programming this is a game changer. I'm excited to make many more of these to offer to folks with disabilities, injuries or other compromised situations, or simply want to experience the joys of one hand typing.

A trochee, in poetry, is part of a dactyl. I originally tried a contoured design based on Adereth's Clojure code, which was cool but I decided I prefer my keyboard flat, so I settled on a Star Trek inspired wedge shape.

Switched my trochee dosage (75mg) and time results were a game changer!

For the last couple months I've been taking 75mg troches (lozenge) every other day. While this helped with my depression immensely it wasn't always consistent. I usually took them at night a little before bed because if took in the morning I would feel groggy the rest of my day. The problem was on some nights I dosed my mind would race and I wouldn't be able to sleep, so I'd be less depressed the next day but super tired.

For the last week I've been cutting my lozenge in half and taking 37.5 mg in the morning every day, the results have been amazing so far. I get none of the head fog I got from taking the higher dose in the AM, with all the anti-depression effects of taking it in the PM, and no sleep problems. I'm more focused, calm, my brain doesn't spiral, and I procrastinate less. I know dosing is different for everyone but if you're experiencing similar side effects, I can't recommend it enough.

[Opinion] Iambs/Trochees

Hi!

Learning about iambs, trochees, and other parts of meter, I am trying to figure out if it is traditionally β€œacceptable” for a iamb to follow a trochee or vice versa (i.e. β€˜ x / x β€˜). Is there any rule in that regard about stressed syllables not following other stressed syllables (x β€˜ / β€˜ x)? Personally, I don’t see anything wrong with it.

In short, if I wrote β€œIt was again gotten” or something similar, would that be considered wrong?

Thanks in advance for any and all answers

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Just because it's a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat

Do you think that poetry is an "easy hack" for learning how stresses work?

Wrongly stressed words sound less intelligible than even mispronounced ones.
So I thought that maybe, when you read poetry, (even the simplest nursery rhymes like Agniya Barto), it prepares you for the correct stressing.
Because of the enforced metre, you end up easily guessing (and remembering) the stress of the words.
Наша Ваня Π³Ρ€ΠΎΠΌΠΊΠΎ ΠΏΠ»Π°Ρ‡Π΅Ρ‚... is written in trochee, so every 2-syllable word has stress on the first syllable.

Thoughts? Might be obvious, but might be one of those exercizes like "word breakdown" and "sentence breakdown" that are useful for new learners who weren't lucky to already internalize the language by reading and speaking.

Dropped my best ever dad joke & no one was around to hear it

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies πŸ˜‚
