They are quite thick, I am not writing long things, just doing grocery lists or bank account math, they are fine for me, maybe if I was doing actual school work where I am writing a lot they would get uncomfortable

I used to use only mechanical pencils, but I am always breaking the led cause I press down to hard
I bought some infinity pencils and they are great, I can even use them where it's not conductive to write like on a shopping cart and not worry about them breaking
I wish these were a thing when I was in elementary school

Un employed basically a highschool drop out yet they passed me with 50s back in highschool
I rarely use tildes, I check in once every few months to see if there's any threads my speed
I'm not usually into typing out long thoughtfully replies which I think is expected here
But I love the idea of a reddit alternative
I spend most of my social media time on reddit, shroomery and Facebook for town issues

I have two detectors, a nokta legend, and a XP deus one, and my mom has a vanquish 540 that I can borrow whenever I want, they just released the Minelab Xterra elite and it looks like a decent detector, the cheapest one that's still okay to use is the nokta FindX pro
I have a mi4 pinpointer, it's my favourite pointer but sometimes they seem to develope issues, I'm on my second one, but if it breaks I'll probably get another, I love it's pitch tones, unique among pointers

And sometimes I get people who recognize the AA tattoo and act like I'm an old friend, I don't have the guts to tell them I'm not in AA anymore and even drink sometime

I used to drink to the point of blacking out when I was younger, but at some point something switched in my head and I drink somewhat responsibly now, it feels weird going in to buy a bottle of tequila with a AA tattoo on my hand lol

If they can come out with more advanced ai I would be all for it, I didn't realize every time they are trained they have to be trained on the entire data set, I imagine that gets bigger and bigger every day
I wonder what AI will be like in 20 years

I usually go detecting early in the morning as I don't work, today I plan to leave at 4am, it doesn't get light out till 530am so I use a headlamp, if I'm not feeling it I'll be back home before light
I got into coin roll hunting and stacking silver, and I seen on reddit people finding old silver coins metal detecting, so I thought I want to find those coins too, so I talked to a redditors about which detector to get and I got it
I've found a few silver dimes, 1913 Canadian large cent, a sterling silver Victorian match safe, a gold ring, a small thin gold chain, multiple silver rings, about $100 a year, some other misc silver stuff, some old coins, I flip all pre 1964 coins I find, I'm in Canada and 1964 is the last year with the young queen loreate crown portrait, I also have a coffee jug that has about 700 pulltabs right now, if I would scrap it it'd be less than a dollar lol I don't know why I keep them just for fun
Gear I used is a detector, a pinpointer, a edge digger, a leather sheath for the edge digger, a finds pouch and sometimes a shovel, sometimes you don't want to be seen using a shovel as it looks bad to most people a guy in the park with a huge ass shovel, although I have a special shovel and can dig cleaner holes with my shovel than my edge digger, so it's just a perception thing not based on reality
A lot of people think they will start finding good things right away, I had a guy tell me in the park he bought a metal detector, used it for 2 hours and only found junk so he sold it, you need way more patience than that, my very first time out the only thing good I found was a penny, but since here in Canada we haven't had pennies since 2012 I thought that was kinda cool, in myfirst couple weeks I found a silver Nike ring, which kinda hooked me, but I've gone that long and found nothing exceptional before, it's really down to if you swing over the right spot

(I realize unwanted) I dont really understand why this was such a big thing, do we all have thicker skin today being raised on the internet?, I got my first (family) computer at the age of 7 in 1996, and have been addicted to the internet since, ive seen lots of crazy shit, someone taking over my avatar and initiating sex with words would be annoying, but I'd just be angry not broken up over it
Damn it took me too long to realize you meant leet speak, I was thinking 1337 English like ye olde English lol
