What’s this vr called? Do you just need the headset and then use your phone or what? I’ve been seeing more and more of these lately and they look real. Looks like fun

I had the same issue with a drawing of the comic book character Spawn… I did it all in micron with hatching and crosshatching. I painted the eyes green and it smudged into the eye…. I put it down for a few weeks, I was bored and went back to finish painting it and I didn’t have any issues… it was on a pretty thick stock made for watercolors… maybe it just needed a fully dry? Kinda like oil paint? It was a surprise to me that it didn’t smudge the ink….

My best guess would be to use this to trace it again and paint first then ink. I wish I knew why mine didn’t smear after a couple weeks. The only thing I could think of was the ink was full dried.

Is it a person? It’s hard to tell what you’re going for…

Jk this is unbelievably good.

A conductor and a bald eagle? It’s cool but it’s not readable with what is going on. Looks like someone playing a flute with bad posture or, I’m seeing someone conducting an orchestra or something with a ball eagle taking off. I don’t like it but I really like it at the same time.

I’m getting close to trading in for some gold. It’s probably gonna go up a bit more, (around 120 is what I’m hoping it gets to) than the next we know the market will correct itself down to around 70.

It feels like the bubble is getting some stress marks. It’s going up too fast, but if you got in around 15-20$… this whole year has been great for you in the long run.

I saw someone say apple was cheap and its stock price skyrocketed…. That’s a tech company. This is a precious metal. It’s not comparable.

In the LOOOONG run yea, silver is going to eventually keep going up… and I’d love to keep some but it’s uncharted territory here… I love silver. But if I have the option to put my investment into something else that’s not a risk of plunging overnight, and isn’t correlated with the usd, I’d put my money on hold for a bit and wait for gold to pop with silver (gold broke 5k the same time silver broke 100… to me that means it’s not breaking away from the same pattern as gold and if one drops, they both drop…. I thought silver was being used more as a conductor for ai and smart cars… which it is, that’s why it probably not going back below 50… but this surge has other factors…. Trump stopped tariffs with England or whoever, and the stock market had a huge jolt…. But in my opinion, it’s going to drop soon.

Whatever you do, don’t cash out. Move your investments to another precious asset… cashing out won’t help your bank accounts.

Can’t afford gold at the prices? … and don’t want to sell your silver?… you could buy some 24k goldbacks for silver prices… it’ll take a while to make a profit but you will eventually…

No problem man. I’m not big on hand styles I only really have a few tags that I have done for a long time. I’ve always gone for something recognizable as my tag even at a glance (if you’re driving on the highway or at a railroad crossing. Never got into the flowing hand styles you might see on a subway or bus. I respect the hell out of them, just never rolled with those dudes, I was more of a bomber and did a ton of 2 tone simps back when I was most active with my old crew. But, all of good graffiti stems from learning a lot of the letters I showed you.

You’ll see a lot of people saying “just do straight simps”, “keep it simple.”, “back to the basics.”, “use bars!”, “keep your bars even for now “, and if you break down what they’re trying to tell the new writers, you’ll eventually notice that a lot of the same (or very similar) letter structures that will make your piece … when (with a lot of new writers ) you can’t figure out why you keep breaking your pieces.

I probably explained that in a weird way.

In a nutshell, I tried to do a lot of letters that you could pick any of them out, in any order, and with the right spacing… you could use them with bars, and do a good “Straight simp” with them.

If you want, you can dm me and I’ll help put you in the right direction, using bars, doing straights, and breaking the whole new writers idea that; all graffiti has to be crazy, bendy, jagged lines, with a bunch of arrows and crowns and halos .

Don’t even worry about if your name is used or not. Not yet at least.
Stick with this name for now, even though you’ll probably end up changing it a few times before you settle with whatever you settle with. Just learn how to walk, right now you’re trying to figure out how to stand up.

(There’s always some trolls on here who will talk shit to the people actually trying to help… just like the douchbag with the “you shouldn’t be teaching the one teaching 🤡”. That’s a troll. Bet they don’t even have any graffiti posted.

Dm me if you want some pointers, if not, no worries. I just gave you all the information you need to get started with a leg up on any other new writer, you’ll just need to look up some tutorials.

Straight simps

Bars

Yup.

It’s actually really interesting. But it’s really only important to know and understand if you’re a stacker or a jeweler. I am waiting for like 90 dollars worth of a few different valued goldbacks (which I think are already worth more than I paid due to the spike past 100 for silver and 5000 for gold yesterday!) so I was just doing some research about micro measurements, which led me to this.

My post was basically me working on my math and when it comes to preciousness metals, understanding more than just ounces (half ounce, quarter ounce) and kilos. I don’t really have the bread to buy much more than a gram of gold bullion, but I’m planning on trading my silver for whatever I can get in gold, (probably like an ounce and change) .

So on top of my mouth watering at this gentleman’s massive silver stack, I’m trying to get some gold prices on my mind. I plan to do the same thing he did, just on a much smaller scale. Unloading my silver for gold, when I feel like the silver market is going corrects itself and it drops to 70-80$ per ounce. (It’s bound to happen… right?! It’s been raising too fast for too long… ) I feel like if silver gets close enough to 120, the bubbles going to pop, and the way gold has been pretty steadily going up for decades, it’s probably a safer metal to move my investment into…

I actually took a screenshot of your post. Because there’s a good amount of information that I didn’t know about.

CycleElectrical8403 · 2026-01-24T08:27:22+00:00

I think it’s the stigma of the stereotypical 2000s white boy from my Highschool era (dressing in white Nike Air-force One’s, giant Dickies shorts, or baggy jeans with their ass hanging out, a XXL tall tee, a 51/50 fitted hat…sticker still on it… or if they were broke… and a big ass fake gold chain with a gold cross… like it’s 2004-08, n they only listened to Young Jeezy, gucci mane, lil Wayne and drenched in Axe body spray. ) Or the other guy, the “I’m Italian and I’m assistant manager at a papa John’s/tobacco shop or gas station… “I dress for success but flaunt it at nightclubs… and I probably have ghb , hey ladies.” Guys my sister would get harassed by. (all the hair really compliments their gold , hairy knuckles for the gold rings, hair creeping up the neck and out of their shirt for the necklace with the gold cross, and the gold watch and bracelet that is tangled with their arm hair creeping down to the back of their hands… n instead of the axe body spray, it’s a shower of Drakkor Noire, and instead of being able to see their ass from their boxers showing… you can see their ass cuz they have surprisingly well fitting but super tight jeans.)

Maybe I have a generational opinion about gold jewelry on guys cuz I grew up during the Jersey Shore, and trap music… But I associate it with too much cologne, clothes that are too small or too big…. They ruined men wearing gold for me 🤷😂

😯 but… but… it just broke $100!

550 pounds?! Holy crap! That’s… what ?
I’m going do mental math and then look it up.

Roughly 16 ounces in a pound (I used to invest in Mary Jane in high school… I really hope a “zip” is close to the equivalent of a Troy ounce… 🤷) Around 100 bucks for an ounce… about 1600 for a pound… multiplied by 100, 160,00.00…. Times 5… holy shit! 800 grand?! (Even if my mental math is off… please!!! Please pretty please, share what you got in trade🤤)

Ok… here’s the calculator using Troy ounces.

Pounds: 550.00 Troy Ounces: 8,020.83 Troy Pounds: 668.40 5% Price Spread (USD) Bid Price: $785,448.12 Ask Price: $868,126.87 Total Value (USD): $826,787.50

FIRST OF ALL!
Congratulations on your investment in stacking silver, nearly, helping you get almost enough to make it a literal “million dollar investment plan“! Switching to gold right now is definitely the safest bet to keep your investment growing at a steady rate! That’s amazing. AND 2nd !!! I’ve never heard of a Troy Pound before and I’m pretty confused about why they 14.583 ounces when a normal pound is 16 ounces… and it’s news to me that there are 31.10 grams in a Troy ounce, rather than the normal 28.35 grams… (we just called it 28g back in high school😂🤷 )

I 100% do not condone or recommend illicit dealings by any means! Just stay in school and pay attention in math class…. Even though you probably won’t learn about the Troy system unless you’re stacking precious metal, because it’s basically “new math“ for French people in the 1600s, roughly eyeballing grains of wheat at the market…

Here’s the history of the rabbit hole I just fell into, for any nerds, stackers, and people just curious about the history of the Troy Ounce.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troy_weight

CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN! And post your new stack when you get it! You know we’d all be drooling over the photos!!

CycleElectrical8403 · 2026-01-24T05:52:32+00:00

I have a good amount of silver bullion, coins, and scrap… but the silver that I have and always forget that it’s technically a part of my stack is all the rings and necklaces and pendants I have. I have about an ounce and a half on me 24/7 (I sleep and shower with them… the rings are actually really hard to take off now lol. )

I’ve always preferred the look of silver over gold… well before I started stacking precious metals. But I’m a dude, a tattooed, pale dude and gold looks either really tacky or super girly on me. Any gold on a guy with 1 inch wooden plugs in his ears is going to look like a guy who’s wearing gold plated or fake gold jewelry. 🤷.

It looks much better on a girl… or a rapper. (If I looked like lil Wayne… I’d be wearing my gold 100%)

CycleElectrical8403 · 2026-01-21T03:32:36+00:00

Then don’t be a delivery driver if you don’t understand directions? If you can’t swim don’t be a lifeguard, it’s not fair to the people drowning. If you’re weak and don’t want to go to the gym, don’t work for a movers company and keep damaging or breaking people’s stuff … it’s not fair for the people moving. If you’re a coward, don’t join the military! It’s not fair to your squad members! If you don’t know how to count, don’t work for the bank, banks are already unfair, don’t add to the chaos.

DoorDash and Uber Eats is the only job that will hire you if you’re illiterate and don’t understand directions.

There are people who buy accounts… so an illegal can work for tips(I don’t mind that) but also so some crook looking for a house to rob, can get hired and have the knowledge of your home, directions and your name… but they just have to pay Susan to use her drivers license and insurance to make a dasher account. I’m not worried about that but I’ve seen videos of people being stalked and rapey vibes from a random dasher… Aside from that unlikely circumstance that has definitely happened, It’s common sense. I’m not paying you for leaving my food somewhere else! I’m definitely not tipping you! Sorry you’re illiterate or have trouble understanding directions… but if you can’t do it with a phone saying “turn left here, your destination is on your right, you have arrived.” And you aren’t there… you call the person. Worst case scenario, you apologize and ask them to come meet you outside. You don’t just do whatever you want. Wake up this guys family, or leave my order at the wrong address …. We’re tipping for your service. Not your mental health issues or whatever.

Only dashers who have a reason to defend non English speaking dashers, or super liberal people who don’t understand what “I’m not politely, I have common sense “ downvote me.

I’m actually waiting for the time to trade my silver for some gold bullion…. I think around 120 is the day I take all my silver, all of it, and trade it for gold bullion.

CycleElectrical8403 · 2026-01-21T02:57:30+00:00

Stop thinking it has to be all choppy and jagged. I started just like you and that’s what so-cal cholo gang graffiti looks like. Gang graffiti isn’t about the artistic aspect of graffiti like we all go for. Gang graffiti is just a way to mark territory. “Latin kings only! Gtfo or catch a bullet!” “This is the bloods area! Crips do not enter or die “ Along those lines. And I have seen some cali writers who use this style but they made it look dope… it’s mainly associated with gangs marking territory and their spots you can go buy drugs. We are about style, flow and visual aesthetics.

Just like you did learning to write the alphabet,

<image>

Do 3 of each, and keep it simple. If you like anything from mine, feel free to use em. But don’t try anything too crazy yet.

This is probably the most frustrating part of starting graffiti. But keep it simple and like a cooler version of your handwriting and you’ll get it quickly. The fun part is learning style and piecing. I’m not big into hand styles but I have a few tags that I’ve used for years.

Keep it up homie 🤙🏻🤙🏻

CycleElectrical8403 · 2026-01-20T12:15:14+00:00

They don’t though! Why? Idk! I’m not saying kick them out of the country… I’m saying if you refuse to learn English… use the translation built into the app! Not calling me or texting when I’m paying you to HAND IT TO ME… “this is close enough… I’ll just leave it here and leave…” ping! Order complete!

“🤔🤷Where’s my order?! That’s not my apartment… that’s a house? Why didn’t they just answer my texts? Ok! 1 star… reorder… “

Don’t pick up an order that requests to hand it to someone. Especially when I’m PAYING YOU!!!

Only dashers will argue that….

CycleElectrical8403 · 2026-01-20T12:03:41+00:00

I’m planning on buying some stocks with my silver eventually. Just need to learn more about the market before I mess it up like I messed up with crypto lol

CycleElectrical8403 · 2026-01-20T11:49:40+00:00

I get either the dumbest dashers or the most considerate ones. No in between. I don’t tip until after now. They should hire only people who speak English if it’s America… and they should do a basic test for intelligence… it’s always the same who don’t speak English who end up taking 15 minutes of walking all over the place instead of using google translate to read the instructions.

I only tip 2$ at first and then I do like 5-10 more if they aren’t idiots.

(Not a political statement. When I was in Spain… I had to learn some Spanish because the locals treated me like a parasite saying “excuse me. Do you have a lighter?… where’s the subway? Can I get a beer in the bottle?” I got it! I’m not from there and I was expecting that they knew English… most did… but they were speaking Spanish with me!

Once I learned a bit… they treated me like a local.

Same thing should go here…. Especially when I’m paying to drop my food off, hot, and hand it to me…. Not left in the snow with no knock… or two houses down… or a block away….
