The staedtler 925 is great. I think you might prefer the graphgear 500 over the 1000 though, as the rubber nubs on the 1000 are more annoying than plain knurled metal, imo.

I have been using 3 for the last 6 or so years. I also like 1 and 4. Can’t go wrong with 2.

The real solution is to find a parker compatible chassis that has the right shape, feel, and weight for your preferences. Then simply buy parker refills of your choice. Energel .5 is pretty great :)

Criticizes late-term abortions
Reacts viscerally to things that are real and legitimate reasons for late-term abortions
“I can’t believe you’ve said that, OMG, so gross, blocked”
Clearly, they have no capacity for thinking critically, or they are farming responses. Don’t waste your time.
And MaXimus, if you really think those scenarios are horrible, then imagine how the parents feel about the opportunity of not allowing a child to suffer in those horrible ways.

Just a random thought, I always knew that 33 multiplied by 3 is 99 and 33 1/3 multiplied by 3 is 100, but I never considered that 33 is 99% of 33 1/3.

Big centrifuges are quite scary. Think of how much mass they are moving at those speeds. In comparison, a small drillbit turbine being rotated by compressed air seems less scary.
- Comment on Steam now warns about Early Access that have not been updated in months. 1 month ago:
I don’t know about this, but only because Steam has a very unique position in their market. Lots of intense loyalists for Steam means long-term projects yield hype and reputation.
For example, the Steam Deck was a high cost high impact long-term project, and it wasn’t even in the interest of leading the handheld gaming market. It still brought them a lot of good press, and it also spearheaded the adoption of handheld gaming PCs - whether running SteamOS, Windows, or other linux distros - most of which are using Steam as the primary gaming library.

They just know that line going up steadily is more valuable than line going up exponentially until people get sick of your shit.

You made me doubt myself lol, I was like “you’re right, 540° neck turning range seems excessive so I should do a searcg”
- Comment on 360 Degrees Owl 3 months ago:
I know it’s a scientific paper or anything, but a quick search led me to Smithsonian Magazine’s article:
“Owls, on the other hand, can rotate their necks up to 270 degrees in either direction without damaging the vessels running below their heads…”

So what you’re is that power creep and meta chasing ruined the creativity in the Earth server?
- Comment on 360 Degrees Owl 4 months ago:
I mean, if they can turn 270 degrees in either direction then I suppose they can cover 360 degrees, just not from resting position.

- Comment on Disposable vapes to be banned in England and Wales from June 5 months ago:
Maybe I’ve just been lucking out, but every concert venue I’ve been to recently has let me in with my vape. I usually tell the security person I have it on me, and then they tell me it’s fine and pass me through. You’re right though, it would suck to have to toss it.
I don’t agree with the “smaller” part though. Most of the disposable units I see are thicker and wider than my refillable one, since they need to be long-lasting as a value proposition. I think the main draw is probably pure convenience.
- Comment on Disposable vapes to be banned in England and Wales from June 5 months ago:
As someone who is using a nicotine vape to wean off of nicotine, I still don’t understand why people buy disposable ones.
It’s less cost-effective, less customizable, and more sketchy.

Yes, and Your Grace’s (my) pronoun is “Your Grace,” also always inflected and conjugated in whichever way is convenient to Your Grace.
You mean to suggest that the first person and third person of your pronouns are conjugated exactly the same. So the sentence “Drag’s pronoun is Drag” exists as the first, second, AND third person version of the statement. At that point, what is the point of having distinctions in perspective? It almost seems like your system of pronouns changes the grammar of the language into a different version of the language… hmm…

Oh no, I hurt two dragon-sexuals with one comment! Your argument is stupid. If someone repeatedly injects their foot fetish into unrelated conversations and I write a comment of a similar nature about the foot fetish material, does it really take someone to make me write about it? No, it doesn’t, I’m entitled to say what I want about it, and it’s reasonable to bring up the issue at hand.
How else do you want me to address it? Jfc.
People who identify as dragons or wolves cause the same kind of harm as “I identify as an attack helicopter” jokes. You are delegitimizing HUMAN gender issues so you can fictionally identify with a fictional creature.
- Comment on Mom of the year 5 months ago:
Every time I see you refer to yourself that way, I want to gouge my eyes out.
Firstly, we don’t consent to engaging with your dragon kink. I’ve seen your comments that reaffirm that this is the core of your ‘identity’. Your screen name is another clear example. Leave us out of this “Dragon Rider” nonsense - I don’t care what your kinks are, keep it private without consent.
Second, why do you still use third person perspective here? Your bio clearly states that “Drag” works in the first, second, and third person, so why leave it in third person instead of speaking about yourself in first person? You are writing in english, right? Or is this Dragspeak/Dragtongue/[some other fantasy bullshit]?
If you’re going to make up rules, put on an act, then submit everyone else to it, at least try thinking through it for longer than a few seconds. I get the feeling you never properly considered how poorly “Drag” works in first person. “Drag keep Dragself happy by exposing unconsenting strangers to Drag own dragon kinks!” Perhaps that’s part of it: adopting a lizard’s attention span.

I think it’s a genius solution to the explicity problem, but a terrible solution in a larger scope. There are many animals that feed on mosquitos, and they would suffer from massive decreases in mosquito population. This includes birds, frogs, bats, fish, and other insects (many aquatic animals eat mosquito larvae). I would hate to see a cascading reduction in animal populations as a result of these tactics.
- Comment on Horrors We've Unleashed 5 months ago:
The idea is to introduce this genetic expression into wild mosquito populations. That way, the inevitable act of mosquito reproduction lowers the next generation’s population size.

+1, very much enjoying using keyboard for Tekken. Haven’t had much luck with games like SF that might require 360/720 inputs.

I can handle any action game, platformer, etc. using a controller, despite heavily preferring a keyboard and mouse. I still can’t play FPS/TPS games on a controller… it has to be m&k.
