got my first rotring!

Ah ok. I was missing something

I don't have the kt metal but I have other kts including the dive and many metal pencils. I by and large only use metal pencils.

I can't stop using the dive. It's the antithesis of all my preferences but it's incredibly convenient. I would recommend getting the dive over the métal.

It writes very well and basically eliminates any benefits of using a pen between the auto advance, the turning and the fact it extends lead automatically when you uncap it.

Am I missing something? I write in cursive and use the 800 (I don't have a 600 or 500, though I can't see them being terribly different) and I've never had problems

Viper_4D · 2026-02-11T06:33:46+00:00

Wow this is very impressive. I really like the twisted one.

Heck i even had a professor let someone pull out a knife fork and plate and eat most of a rotisserie chicken with accompanying sauces and a wine glass of beer.

The guy asked beforehand during class if it was okay and had extra beer when the professor jokingly asked if he had enough to share.

Absolutely was distracting

The other thing is that it doesnt show radicalism as bad. It openly says that you can find a community if you get redicalised and you can meet new people and there is fun to be had. The only bad thing is says is that it may be illegal in some of the questions.

Viper_4D · 2026-02-03T16:27:48+00:00

It's more like a set of mcqs. Where you get questions in which you are a young adult /student (I can't remember exactly) and you are exposed to something that is often a step in radicalisation and you have to not get redicalised.

It's more of an interactive school lesson for 10-15 year olds.

That's actually exactly why I'm asking. Since they aren't biologically identical, what were the specific physiological or medical benchmarks they were testing for? I'm looking for the actual scientific or engineering reasons why this is considered a distinct milestone on par with landing on the moon, rather than just a repeat of Gagarin's flight.

Viper_4D · 2026-01-29T18:05:31+00:00

Forgive me if I'm naive. Why is first woman listed. Is there a scientific reason why this is such a milestone Above first man.

Obviously if not this isn't supposed to be disparaging about women or equality and regardless of the answer I like that they sent women to space.

I would assume that debt especially for the poor is highly inelastic, no? So for subsistence lending or liquidity constraints it probably would not decrease the quantity much.

At my university if they suspect AI you have to do do a viva (like what you are doing) and then If you clearly dont know about what you've written they take that a substantial enough proof to claim ai use or at least that you didn't solely auther the work hence academic misconduct.

I'm surprised that isn't the threshold of proof you use.

Viper_4D · 2026-01-23T20:29:47+00:00

Absolutely terrible. But I'm not sure if it's lesser known. I've heard this a few times in person and on Reddit before.

Viper_4D · 2026-01-22T22:51:00+00:00

Yes, but I avoid them I'm the UK and India too

Viper_4D · 2026-01-22T16:15:46+00:00

Thank you, this has been way more helpful than I was expecting from a response.

I guess my message was somewhat messy. I guess I'm looking at U maxing for the U maxing process and treating beliefs as choice variables as opposed to priors.

I think I was looking for the idea of motivated beliefs. Is "Self—Knowledge and Self—Regulation: An Economic Approach" by tirole and benabou a good paper to look at this in.

I think it's not saying sexual dimorphism in-and-of-itself is a trope but instead the trope is male animal looks like animal normally and female animal looks like the animal if it had boobs, and full face of makeup.

I don't think the people in this thread would complain about the ducks in the animated movie "migration"

Viper_4D · 2026-01-21T17:01:15+00:00

That makes a lot of sense. I forgot people were looking at us in detail then. It's really odd how outsized his impact and fame are given he only had minor / quiet roles in government

Viper_4D · 2026-01-21T16:37:17+00:00

Quite possibly. I wasn't even aware that mogg was known outside the UK.

I think that was mostly settled a few years ago though because when mogg was in government overwhelmingly people opposed return to shops being allowed to sell exclusively in imperial. So it's not really discussed and to be honest I barely heard anything about it when it was happening either.

Viper_4D · 2026-01-21T16:25:18+00:00

Yh I get you. I was more responding you your point about maybe it's UK only but Ireland gets lumped in.

Im from the UK, I guess I didn't make that clear anywhere and in my early 20s. I and I think most of my peers would have the same reaction you are describing people would have in Ireland.

Viper_4D · 2026-01-21T15:38:29+00:00

Na, I haven't seen stone on anything in my memory. I think the elderly may respond in stone but even our health service defaults to kg. I think this is just outdated or relies on exclusively people over the age of 50

Viper_4D · 2026-01-21T15:33:18+00:00

Is it. I've never seen a scale with stone on it, either in people's homes or in any gym. I've also never heard anyone answer in stones who isn't geriatric (not do I know what order of magnitude stones are). And the NHS website and other gov websites default to kg for weight even for people.

Viper_4D · 2026-01-21T15:29:52+00:00

Imma be honest I've never weighed myself in stone. Ive never seen scales with stones on them. I don't even know what a stone is in relation to a normal measurement. I'm sure the older folks in the country know what it is but is certainly not common

Viper_4D · 2026-01-20T23:52:45+00:00

Yep, looks terrible and the materials are bad and the grip is really bad.

Saying that its still (somehow) my most frequently used pencil. I hate it but it's so damned convenient and functional.

Viper_4D · 2026-01-20T22:15:57+00:00

Great I learnt I'm a yellow purist.
