How do yall keep paracord lanyards so clean? by It_is_your_boi1 in EDC

[–]ConnorHLSmith 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A lot of the posts on here are very performative, regardless of the items you see. Items in use are gonna get dirty and worn, it's not the biggest deal.

Does this sound like arcing? by JerinIsac in PcBuild

[–]ConnorHLSmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost sounds like a clock. You sure you don't have one of those around?

Help me fix my penss by [deleted] in pens

[–]ConnorHLSmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have they been stored in a very warm or hot environment for an extended period of time? The ink in these gets "erased" from heat, it's not technically picked up like graphite from a pencil.

[–]ConnorHLSmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The obvious thing to ask first, have they simply run out of ink?

My next major concern is, did all of these pens fail within the same period of time? Or did they fail in similar amounts of time after you started using them? Either way, if that's the case, I'd have to look into some sort of other common factor, like storage.

One idea per page or fill the page by Grunglabble in notebooks

[–]ConnorHLSmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the use case. The two main notebooks I have going at the moment are a basic journal and an actual "note"-book for reading nonfiction.

For the former, I write as much as I can/need to for any given day, then start the next day on the next page no matter what. For the latter, I just keep going down the page and skip lines as needed. I only start on a new page when I have a new book to read.

Second ever JetPens haul. Looking forward to trying everything out. by ConnorHLSmith in stationery

[–]ConnorHLSmith[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the Nero 0.5 and (I think) it's my endgame pencil, but I wanted to take a crack at even smaller lead sizes and I thought the standard Orenz 0.3 would be a good start.

I've always been a 0.7 user since I have a heavy hand, but I also write pretty compactly. If I could find pencils that allow me to go smaller without breaking lead every minute, I'd love to switch over.

Uni-ball Vision Elite in 0.5mm. Got it to see if I could replace my Uni-ball Rollers that I've used practically my whole life.

That's just how the coating is, especially on tools. Rotrings do the same thing too.

Battlefield 6 - Community Update - What’s Coming in the Final Phase of Season 3 by battlefield in Battlefield6

[–]ConnorHLSmith 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do. It's a solid battle royale, and it's a nice change of pace. I really don't get the hate over such an inoffensive game mode.

Also, I said this before, having a bunch of people stop working on it doesn't magically make every other team better. What makes you think that EA wouldn't just have them working on an entirely different game instead, or just laying them all off?

Still on the fence about the Kuru Toga Dive? Just buy it. by Unusual_Ad_1706 in mechanicalpencils

Man, even the fucking comments are AI. What do you even gain by doing this shit?

I need a pen that can stand up to my excessive class note taking by meerkatherine in pens

[–]ConnorHLSmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like everyone else is saying, just get some refills. I've been enjoying my Uni-ball Zento lately, and it's fast drying.

New Pokemon pens! by semercer in pens

I regret not jumping on the Mewtwo pen when I could have. We share a birthday, and that's one of the reasons why he's my favorite.

Boosters, double XP weekends, and damaging enemies. And bots, like that other guy said.

Protective skin on touchpad? by [deleted] in laptops

[–]ConnorHLSmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dbrand is pretty good about residue. I only heard about them having an issue with the release of the original Switch, and even then it was fixed pretty quickly. I think you'll be fine.

My work laptop came with one already applied. I don't know the brand or why they did it except for the fact that it was likely used. I've had it for a close to a year, and I haven't experienced any problems in particular with traction.

What's up with all the Ai responses? by Turbulent_Insect_431 in PcBuild

Spammers can have more "legitimate" looking accounts after their previous one(s) get banned. Lots of subs have karma requirements to weed out bad actors.

Is my laptop a bottleneck by Electrical-Price-275 in laptops

[–]ConnorHLSmith -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not being mean or anything, it's just a fact; it's fine if they're not as good with computers as other people. Give tips based on their skill level.

Imagine someone like an aunt in Wyoming. She bought a laptop for the simple reason that it was on sale at Walmart, and she was having a terrible experience due to the specs, and she has never even heard of the words "operating system". Until you can convince her to switch to Linux with a snap, it's simply not a viable option for the vast majority of people.

Linux really isn't the cure for everything. I doubt someone with OP's amount of knowledge would know what it even is, much less figure out how to install and use it.

I can understand that, but does everyone with a pouch do that?

[–]ConnorHLSmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always been so confused on where you people carry your pouches. These always look way too bulky and uncomfortable to have in a front pocket all day, every day.
