I've spent too much time staring at the clock, full of anxiety, watching seconds pass. I've internalized the rhythm, just like with a song.

It's a cool trick, sometimes. People get a kick out of me calling out the microwave timer from across the room.

Yes, the TLD. Wasn't really sure if most people would know what a top-level domain is.

I did some testing. The form accepts anything in the format *@*.* so long as each * segment only contains appropriate characters. The domain itself doesn't need to be real, but the suffix needs to be real.

"a@b.cd" works.

GUI is a generic swiss army knife. It's easy to introduce to someone, and it has a whole array of tools ready for use. However, each of those tools is only half-decent at its job at best, and all of the tools are unwieldy. The manual is included, but it mostly tells you how to do things that are pretty obvious.

CLI is a toolbox full of quality tools and gadgets. Most people who open the box for the first time don't even know which tools they're looking for. In addition, each tool has a set of instructions that must be followed to a T. Those who know how to use the tools can get things done super quickly, but those who don't know will inevitably cause some problems. Oh, but the high-detail manuals for all the tools are in the side compartment of the toolbox too.

The staedtler 925 is great. I think you might prefer the graphgear 500 over the 1000 though, as the rubber nubs on the 1000 are more annoying than plain knurled metal, imo.

I have been using 3 for the last 6 or so years. I also like 1 and 4. Can't go wrong with 2.

The real solution is to find a parker compatible chassis that has the right shape, feel, and weight for your preferences. Then simply buy parker refills of your choice. Energel .5 is pretty great :)

I love my North. Solid front panel IO, good airflow, ample storage mounts, good grommets on cable routing holes, good documentation... and it looks sexy as hell!

I'm late to the party, but I just wanted to point out that your username followed by your argument gave me a good chuckle.

OBJECTION!!!

So do you mean to suggest "quatre-vingt-dix" just means 90 and doesn't also mean "four-twenty-ten"?

Isn't fewer the better choice in formal English because years is a countable plural noun?

Honestly it looks good to me, the bottom is crispy and the yolk still looks moist!
