@freemo @Pat @TruthSandwich Zebra F-701 if you can find one. It's nearly all steel and loved by officers working in a jail. It's a bit heavy with a knurled steel grip but it writes very well. It takes the standard Zebra refills or a Fisher Space Pen refill with some modifications.
The ink is very black so I use the very fine point. The ink dries fast enough with the fine point to where I haven't had any issues with smearing.
It's just something about the F-701 that makes it feel well balanced and precise. I believe it was discontinued but came back as a pen for use in medical environments. It's not like the F-301 pens where the plastic grip breaks and the pen is done. Most of the pen is steel with the exception of the click mechanism and interior where it holds the ink.
A refined writing instrument that is durable enough to stab something and go back to writing.

I love a good pen and now you have me considering a pocket protector... burt I also accepted I am a nerd a long time ago :)
@lucifargundam @freemo If you start to display PTSD symptoms don't hesitate to seek help.
@thendrix Perhaps dog body armor would be higher on the list.

Relearning C++ after C++11
@thendrix nothing to see here, move along.
@freemo @trinsec You should be receiving hazard pay so hopefully that will increase the amount of money from the contract. If it doesn't get better I'd highly recommend a vest and NATO helmet. The helmet won't stop bullets but the webbing system instead has great protection against the pressure wave. The vest should help with the pressure wave and possible shrapnel.
Time to swap to a Toughbook and carry a boo-boo kit. In a fucked up way, that sounds very exciting.
@thendrix They also make it difficult for individuals to obtain energetics for legal land blasting. I only needed a little bit of tnt or less RDX to clear a heavily clogged culvert in a swampy area where equipment would not be feasible. NSL finding how to get an explosive permit.
Despite that, tannerite is somehow legal and nearly useless except to shoot at. It could have worked but it was not the approved use of it. I really don't like the fact that I couldn't get a 3ft diameter culvert cleared when the simplest of land blasting could have dislodged the debris.
@lore Zallen {0,1}.
Seemingly the negation of X and 1. Negation of X being the bit flip of the binary number. So it's going to be swapping to truth value and adding a 1 to it. It could return the same value or probably cause a compiler error. The bool is not bitwise but the operation occurs outside the bool.
It's not comfortable code to look at.
@thor I don't have the same experience. My friends usually care more.
@thendrix The government is the real problem here. Cartels are just businesses that are oppressed by shortsighted officials. The US could fix many of its problems by legalizing drugs, firearms and sex work.
These problems are a fantastic way to manipulate the public, secure funding and perhaps get senators to vote a certain way.
@thor Perhaps it's best to enjoy everything in moderation.
@thor Same here.
@thor I hear that in Sweden all crime is illegal.
@Pat @TruthSandwich @freemo To mark themselves?
@TruthSandwich @Pat @freemo As someone who has very similar views to Libertarians, I'm surprised you didn't simply ignore them. It's like voting polls but with attention.
@TruthSandwich @Pat @freemo Pen Island, the one stop shop for what one might not expect?
@lore It returns 1 or false?
@thendrix Ah yes the good ole black mat stuff.
@thendrix Something like blueberry bushes should thrive in what I suspect is sandy soil and clay. The root system should help stabilize the ground especially if it is the wild variety. Some sassafras trees on the middle steps should help to stabilize that section well. I suppose more needy plants can be placed on the bottom steps as they will have more protection from direct sunlight and a fair share of water from the rain.
When I see landscaping steps with gravel it just seems like such a waste when it could be a very good garden. The soil mix can be changed with each step so a variety of plants can be grown. If you want an ugly tree that produces fruit, there's always the peach.
Eventually the run off will make it grow weeds and grass so that's maybe a year or two before it starts to be a problem.
