I have a Cidoo V87 (that one is TKL, but they have all kinds) which I’ve enjoyed a couple of years now. I don’t know if of their models are compatible with Via/QMK, but mine is. The biggest downsides (which aren’t that big to me, but might be to others) are that the LEDs are south-facing and “Via compatibility” for the V87 refers to Via v2–not v3, as far as I can tell.
Btw, I’m not sure if Cidoo is the brand or a product line. The brand might be Epomaker–both names seem to come up together.
Me neither. I read a couple of descriptions of striped cuckoos. None mentioned this tidbit and that made me suspicious.
On the other hand, I did find this: thenakedscientists.com/…/cuckoo-chicks-earn-their…
It includes a picture of a nest with a cuckoo chick and, although it doesn’t look like a pine cone, you can easily make out the speckled feathers. Also, the article is interesting in asserting that the cuckoos’ parasitism isn’t all bad.
Thank you, but I still don’t get the quote. I see it on the Wikipedia page as the title of the work (which makes sense since he wrote it right on there) and it turns out I remembered quite a bit about him from when Stuff You Missed in History Class did an episode about his life.
I recognize the coincidence of “open your mind” given the psychedelic nature of some his later work, but this isn’t in that style and I question whether anyone was using those words in that way that far back. For one thing, even “psychedelic/psychodelic” wasn’t coined until the mid 50s and then referred only to mind-altering drugs. It was wasn’t used in a general sense (such as to describe an art style) until the 60s which is also when phrases like “blow your mind” and “mind bender” started appearing. I’m just not sure people were thinking in these terms during his life. I did a simple search for “open your mind” with Google Ngram and all I saw in the late 1800s and early 1900s was conventional usage equivalent to “consider other possibilities.”
