Meh, they’re ok. There’s a spring inside that makes it have some “give” when writing so you’re less likely to break the lead. Eraser is ok quality. It’s a thicker lead too (0.7 iirc). They are meant to be disposable though which is dumb, although you can force it open and refill it if you’re stubborn about it.

It’s a Papermate Sharpwriter. A mechanical pencil that you advance the lead by twisting the end

It’s why I never got into it even though it’s fun. Long before Steam they’ve had a subscription which is supposedly justified due to Google charging for their API or whatever.

Interesting. So the potato thing is technically against their rules, but they just do it anyways I guess?

Weren’t the Nazis meticulous about their records? The new crop know better than to leave a paper trail

I think double-sided tape would be better. Or maybe we sew the plates together?

Lukewarm take: if the person being pranked doesn’t laugh during or immediately following the prank then it’s not a prank anymore, it’s just being mean to someone. Basically all the things “ruined” as pranks by the current situation fall under this, so it’s not really ruined at all.

Steam does suck though? It’s hard to use, and most things are better boiled/blanched or fried.
- Comment on I'm looking to buy something like a reverse wheelbarrow, what do I call that? 2 months ago:
Sounds like you’re describing something like the Monowalker
There are some people who have done DIY hiking trailers by chopping up youth bikes too so maybe look into that as well.
- Comment on I'm looking to buy something like a reverse wheelbarrow, what do I call that? 2 months ago:
Given that a four wheel design spreads the weight to four wheels instead of just two, four wheels can obviously move more weight more easily than two.
Gonna have to disagree just on this point. Unless you’re worried about sinking into soft ground or something, two wheels can take the weight just as well as four. Fewer wheels is often more maneuverable and there’s less friction. I mean, you specifically mention wheelbarrows which show this trade off; stability for easier rolling/maneuverability.

Lots of great replies, just want to add that if he’s uncircumcised and you haven’t covered the topic yet; washing under the foreskin is important hygiene. Same with washing his ass while we’re on the topic of hygiene.
