The prominent structures include the tall Victorian-era tower known as The Tower and a Ferris wheel with gondola-style carriages on its circular structure, suggesting it was taken during that era's amusement rides popularity.

The attire suggests a warm season, as individuals are dressed in light, summer-appropriate clothing, including dresses for women and suits for men.

5 paires de PCB pour #Ferris #Sweep commandées. C'est pour offrir et convertir un collègue à #ergol... Et aussi pour avoir un deuxième clavier pour le boulot 🤫

It’s great to see that a #film classic like #Ferris Bueller still works with modern kids. My 9yo liked it very much. And somehow I still rally more for the kids than the adults in this #movie. Although now as a grownup, one might notice more the dickhead and ego part of Ferris…

@bnjbvr ZSA est une boite cool mais ses claviers restent des dérivés du Kinesis Contour, qui date de 1992, bien avant la révolution . Y compris le Voyager (touches de pouce très mal placéses).

Cela dit :
1. sans dactylo stricte, *aucun* clavier ergonomique n’a le moindre intérêt ;
2. un est utilisable avec ou , mais requiert la maitrise des homerow-mods (HRM). Un ou un serait plus simple. On prépare un clavier dans cet esprit ().

Thanks to one of my wonderful colleagues, I now have the most bad ass sticker ever.

It will take place behind my phone.
