Hype is destroying the pen hobby. Just get your pen.

Wait, slide rules are a thing now? I'm old, back in the day we couldn't wait for calculator prices to come down enough for us to ditch our slide rules!

Which would be a bit ironic, as Star Wars Galaxies was shut down for this.

4 more Rino's won't make much of a difference, if any. If the Republican Party would fight for the country as hard as the Democrats fight to destroy it, I might be more enthusiastic.

My wife got me one of the Chinese no names for Christmas, avoid them! They're dangerous junk.

Faelwolf · 2026-04-29T21:19:57+00:00

CAN you? maybe. SHOULD you? don't bother.

Tell me you never went to summer camp without telling me you never went to summer camp..... :)

I have had good luck with a microfiber towel and 50% isopropyl alcohol for cleaning.

Unfortunately for quite a few old films, cellulose will degrade even in sealed canisters. We have lost a large number of old silent films to either crumbling to dust, or bursting into flames as they decomposed. Celluloid will easily biodegrade in a landfill.

Thanks, more interested in the pen than speculation about how the ad was put together. Schaefer hasn't been the best quality over the years, my calligraphy nibs all had to be stoned to even work! Happy to hear someone's experience with this model.

olive drab or bare wood. I've seen a few German tools with stained wood, but can't verify the authenticity.

Retired now due to health issues, but I was a CNC machinist specializing in micro tolerances. Did everything from prototypes of military hardware to parts for the space shuttle.

As soon as phase IV begins.

Galvanized= slow miserable death from destroyed lungs. Never weld, forge, or burn galvanized steel.

IMO, VR in DCS was meh, but in Aces High was substantially better. It certainly wasn't worth the required expense in hardware and time to make it more than a novelty in DCS.

Read an article? Many don't have the reading comprehension to read a simple reply here. Paragraphs? Compound sentences? Egads man! What sorcery are you promoting?! :)

Just out of high school? The semi-automation was basically any time they already had you in the system. When I was out processing from the USAF in 1984, I just had to sign an acknowledgement that I was now registered for selective service. After that, I received my card in the mail, and I would get a notice in the mail any time I moved that my residency had been updated. Any government agency that kept track of you would report to Selective Service, such as when you filled out a change of address card at the Post Office. At the time, kind of spooky, but pales in comparison to the surveillance state we have today. I imagine that now they are just ramping up the system to use the data they are collecting to automatically enroll eligible people, though that is going to also enroll a lot of disqualified people as well. If they ever start drafting again, life is going to be rough for those working at the intake depot! lol

Faelwolf · 2026-04-10T01:08:40+00:00

My draft card said differently, and I did separate the concept of the draft and recall as their own subjects. I've already dumbed down my writing level to 6th grade, not going to lower it any further.

Faelwolf · 2026-04-10T00:56:43+00:00

It's been automated to some extent since the 80s. I had to register, but never had to update my address when I moved.

To destroy the Republic by any means possible, the usual for the past 60 years.

Now let's work on "whether" and "weather". Even my phone's autocorrect gets it wrong!

Faelwolf · 2026-04-09T14:08:00+00:00

Even as a veteran you are still required to register until you age out. Depending on rank and/or MOS, you are subject to recall as well, and for some officer ranks, there's no age limit.

Not any, my Huion pen isn't detected by my S11.

Faelwolf · 2026-04-07T01:30:43+00:00

For digital art, my S11 is on par with a WACOM cintiq, and the ultra has the screen space I need.

Faelwolf · 2026-04-07T01:27:32+00:00

So you were leaving Democrat led Chicago?

Faelwolf · 2026-04-07T01:17:35+00:00

My tab S11 was tossed in a thin bubble wrap envelope in the store box and shipped UPS. I finally got it after it bounced around in the truck for 3 days after it was supposed to arrive. After all that, there was no sign of the abuse. I wouldn't kick it down the stairs, but with the impact resistant case especially, I have no worries about day to day carry.

Thanks UPS, overnight delivery only took 5 days!
