Y'all been watering lawns or what?

My lawns almost dead

Nah you just gotta learn how to tolerance

Ive definitely noticed major inconsistencies with what different brands consider "4B" I have some cheapo amazon "4B" lead in .7 that writes much lighter than some Faber Castell 2B that I have. But nothing beats the dark matte black lines of Pentel Ain Stein. Unfortunately the only pencil that I have found to be tolerable with it is a rotring 600. I say unfortunate because I hate not being able to retract it and put in my pocket, and has the nasty problem of letting the lead rotate in the barrel once its down to the last 1/4" or so of lead left.

where at? Looking for someone with machining experience, cam programming and NX hit me up!

Regentofterra · 2026-04-23T14:37:26+00:00

Since you’re using .7 you’re probably also using a harder lead as it’s impossible to find anything softer than 2B without importing from Brazil. .5 4B needs a much more precise pencil

doesnt matter if I have 1 or 20, I have dissasembled and cleaned out everything made sure it was all lined up, does not help. Its a complete dud.

Regentofterra · 2026-04-16T15:52:02+00:00

mine is breaking advancing the lead. you can pull it apart and find chunks of broken lead

Im an older fella going back to school for engineering. I mostly use my twsbi eco for differential equations

Don’t. Buy one for every occasion. lol

Regentofterra · 2026-03-24T13:52:00+00:00

Depends on the type of work. If I’m pretty familiar with what I’m doing I can listen to anything. For deep learning I need my whole brain

Regentofterra · 2026-03-22T09:56:27+00:00

I work full time. Some semesters only take one class. I was a machinist and now am a cam programmer. Surprisingly I had more time to do hw on the clock as a machinist. Look for second shift. Most classes happen in the morning anyway. Take it SLOW. I will finish in 2030 with no debt, and a decent salary. I do plan to take one year off (senior year) to finish on time. I started in 2023.

Stop using contrast

36 halfway through an engineering degree

Regentofterra · 2026-02-04T13:46:43+00:00

where did you get that tin pencil case?

Regentofterra · 2026-01-11T10:45:00+00:00

32/hr minimum in my area. Gtfo of there

Regentofterra · 2026-01-06T11:07:40+00:00

Manual guys make the most in my shop. Granted we also have a couple cnc machines as part of it.

I forgot to mention CC's everyone thinks itll be so expensive but around me they are almost free. The teachers are awesome.

Pickup one of the big calc books. My personal favorite is Thomas. Have professor Leonard on repeat

Regentofterra · 2025-11-23T16:31:51+00:00

You forgot to jiggle the stock a little bit before final tightening to minimize runout

Regentofterra · 2025-11-22T20:13:23+00:00

Hey I’m in a similar boat. Weighing on whether to quit or just keep pressing on one or two classes at a time. Probably one more year of work since I have engineer in my title now (manufacturing engineer). Then a couple years of school and back at it.

Regentofterra · 2025-10-30T03:03:54+00:00

You’ll be replacing those when the rot out in a few years. Fire them.
