I had one similar to (not literally exactly) 6 back in high school, and some really dumb jock took it from me and I've wanted it back ever since.
The Bic one is okay, but pushing directly on the eraser to push the lead out isn't ideal. I always thought that was a design flaw. Having the button on the side of the pencil but away from the index finger is ideal honestly.
And even though we're not deciding based on lead size for this, I prefer the finer.5 to the more common .7.
Plus the top has a pretty large eraser that you can twist to expose more, so it had a mechanical refillable eraser too, which was pretty cool.
And I got mine in my favorite color, and that fucked just took it.
I was a super sheltered kid, coming fresh off being completely homeschooled (except for a Christian kindergarten), and that year of school was my first social contact with other people outside grocery stores and church. So I didn't do much about it, as I didn't have a clue about how anything in real life worked. I wouldn't figure a lot of it out for still another 16 years, but that's a different story.
Also at this point I haven't actually written anything at all with a pencil, pen, or marker for.... 15ish years now? Outside of signing my name anyway.
I think a lot of concerts would be amazing with acid.
I'm not very familiar with PF, or familiar at all with their personal history. I'm actually assuming Syd is a member. I don't even know that. I've only listened to 2 of their albums (and while tripping)
But if this is a particular legendary one, it'd definitely be worth it.
It really is crazy how strong the base opposes it, yet they're dismissive when their guys get caught in it.
If anything has caused trump not to win, I would've thought that'd be the thing.
All these super religious boomers that probably don't have a clue what's actually happening (I guess they're all early on getting senile), and yet they've voted in a fairly obvious atheist president, who's not only ok with abusing children sexually, but made a best friend out of a legendarily huge person in that world.
They really got focused on the "he'll run the country like a business" (like that's a good thing) and"he's already rich, he can't be bought" (except for Putin and Elon).
It's honestly confounding that we're not in the timeline where he's been in jail for 30 years already, with no end in sight.
Damn TS3 was still kinda wet behind the ears and maybe even still in beta last time I played with it. I only used it for one group and I cut ties with them.
I never even used it, I only know TS2 and it's purplish, super basic ugly interface. (If anyone even remembers that- would've been back in mid to late 00s)
I've had that problem. But more often I have them correctly opening, but they start autoplaying muted by default. So I would have to frantically search for the unmute button or volume slider as fast as I can before I miss more than 2 or 3 sentences.
If it takes too long, then I probably didn't wanna watch it anyway. I always hated it because it would throw banners at me advertising the app, which I expressly do not want. I had it downloaded one time for about 10 minutes on my last phone, and felt the ick immediately.
I don't get them often, and typically only as discord channel messages. Lately they're embedded so I don't need to open them in a browser. It seems to be working now, but it was a mess for a while.
I have never (not asking for info, I can look it up) seen it, just heard it mentioned by name. Couldn't tell you the actors or even the genre off hand.
But I can tell you that every time I hear the movie my brain (for juuuust a second) always thinks it's a Star Trek movie that's specifically about pon farr.
For those not in the know, Vulcans (aka the race of aliens that Spock belongs to), while very disciplined, will get super horny every 7 years. So horny that they will just up and die if they don't bust a nut and for whatever reason they can't just take care of it themselves.
Now I'm no kid from the 60s, but I did hear of it first with Tuvok in the Voyager series. And now that reference is just as dated now as the original show was when I watched Voyager. And I just had a whole existential moment between those 2 sentences in this paragraph. I'm so old now.
I feel like I (and probably a lot people now) don't have a clue what most of their emails are. I don't subscribe to anything anymore. I have no reason to routinely check it.
It's just where receipts and account management messages (verification codes, click here to finish logging in type stuff), along with automated reminders of activities that have happened it need to happen. I haven't checked email that wasn't a log in thing for a very long time. And even then it was probably to check a record of some sort.
It used to be used as a primary communication protocol, now it's just the account you need to have to make an account on what you'll actually use.
Has anyone used it intentionally for anything more than that in the last 10 years? Personal email I mean, not for work email.
Damn right, meow and purrs.
