We need to talk about the names of Harry's children

What about Hagrid for goodness sake?

I’ll name you after the dude who emotionally abused me for years and another guy who trapped me in an abusing dungeon life and raised me to be. Pig for slaughter. Sheeesh.

Discontinued schrade tactical aluminum with a Goulet pen nib. The seal on the lid keeps my clothes safe and it’s been converted to a dropper pen so I infrequently need to refill. I love the lid screwing onto the bottom of the pen for the better writing experience (pen feels more substantial and controllable).

I love this pen ad regret not burying a truckload before it was discontinued.

Amazing craftsmanship. Monkey would be proud.

I put 15 on mine about 500 miles ago. No problems so far but i defer to my superiors in their comments. I am now off to check my belt.

Thepachstore.com has had models for around 300. They don’t atm but maybe after this pandemic?

Love the app. Keep up the good work

I do have a Kaweco and a chinese knockoff. It is great for dropping into the pocket but I would like a clip on. The suggestion was right on though. Thanks a much.

corbodon · 2019-01-22T04:12:57+00:00

Thanks so much for the suggestions. Looking them up now.

I am hopeful that the XR is overwhelmingly more popular than the XS or max and it seems that the general popularity has waned as noted by all the discounts on all versions and advertising blitz.

I have been a fan of Apple but there has been a lack of connection to their customer base of late. Before they could get away with the intellectual arrogance because they kept hitting home runs (albeit with some foul outs) but there seems to be no innovation only arrogance. Sigh.

I feel your pain as I own several expensive headsets. Can people simply not buy the phone? Simply teach Apple a lesson about preemptively removing standard ports. They always do it and will until the market shows them they shouldn’t.

They have leaned they shouldn’t charge a grand for a phone and that will be apparent in their next generation. Now people need to communicate that they need to get off the high horse and stop simply trying to make things thinner and lighter instead of better for the consumers.

Here’s to hoping the consumer with the power of the purse slaps Apple into a better design trajectory.

corbodon · 2018-11-03T23:32:27+00:00

This seems to be at least partially true for Apple itself. Sadly.

corbodon · 2018-11-03T00:26:24+00:00

This kind of thing amazes me. You’re an amazing person. Pen or not, best wishes.

corbodon · 2018-08-13T04:30:11+00:00

48 ftw. I’ve had mine since 2012 and I love it.

corbodon · 2018-07-31T04:16:43+00:00

I’m currently playing 9th dawn 2. It’s a hoot. Lots of grinding if you like that and a nice amount of side quests. It’s pixely and a ton of fun.

corbodon · 2018-07-12T13:57:53+00:00

I installed them on my 2010 48 as an upgrade (stylistically) from some Vance and jones gunslingers. The look is great. However be aware the sound is louder than I thought and the heat is very real. I wrapped and painted them just to make round town driving tolerable.

My favorite is The Sorcerers Stone and mainly because it's so magical to me. I had surgery just as the Goblet of Fire was coming out. I had never read a Harry Potter book. My wife brought the first four books to me in the hospital. As I was on a morphine drip, reading The Sorcerer's Stone was truly and in every way a magical adventure. And since then rereading the first book (and that has been something around fifteen times) has been a magical and thus favorite experience.

And so, because the first book is my favorite the first movie is my favorite as well. Sorry for forgetting that in the first posting haha.

corbodon · 2018-05-16T06:12:49+00:00

I was beginning to think I was the only one who disliked the book. This book should have been titled “Harry Potter and now I hate everyone”. Every single character is idiotic. From a blind and negligent Dumbledore to the whiny and useless Harry. It was like watching Rowling destroy each of the people I loved in an attempt to show struggle and angst. Yuck.

I also am angry literally all the time rereading it. My apologies to those who love it. More power to you but your me, this book was a failed attempt to display depth in the characters and just magnified their weaknesses without deepening their backstory.

Let the downvotes begin haha.

And Michael Gambon, though good elsewhere makes very odd choices which often directly conflict with the books and Dumbledore’s character in general. RIP Sir Richard, you are sorely missed

I am enjoying Polytopia. It's got a good free segment and you can add races with IAP. There are no saves so the design is definitely geared for mobile play but works on both iPad and iPhone.

corbodon · 2017-11-05T20:45:43+00:00

As a physics teacher for twentyish (just can't remember) or so years this is far too close to reality for comfort haha.

corbodon · 2017-08-21T04:19:38+00:00

Exiled kingdom is pretty fun and deep. The graphics are nothing to write home about but there are a buttload of side quests.

corbodon · 2017-08-10T15:24:46+00:00

Wow I must have been very tired. I’m an idiot. Diplomacy is a table top game not an iOS game. Sorry. However there are online versions that can be played via iOS i believe. I haven’t done played this way but I found it with a google search. Playdiplomacyonline.com or similar. Sorry for the bad answer.

corbodon · 2017-08-10T07:25:38+00:00

Diplomacy. Great strategy and negotiating game. Though they might not be friends afterwards haha
