How long until someone shows up to represent typewriters?

They are mechanically interesting. The old school ones.

Titanium pencil?!

Elaborate please.

@Legalize photos please too

Kind of looks like the Tactile Turn.

It isn't monolithic but it's built to look that way.

Your choice of titanium, phosphorus bronze, tellurium copper, or stainless steel

My choice will be Titanium because... well, titanium.

I've heard of these.

They honestly did not really seem like they were worth it.

Ah, I used a staedtler pointer. Alvin makes one like it also.

The Gist?

Seems nice. I'd like to find one in the style of the porsche design titanium. I really like that sleek elegant look but I don't want to spend 1000 for a porsche fountain pen.

I prefer tungsten, but it's nearly impossible to work with.

Not just saying that maintain rivalry either 🤣

I _love_ tungsten.

Tungsten is _very_ heavy, and very hard. It's difficult to cut and turn with machine tools. It's even difficult to cast and melt (melting point 3422 °C)

That's the primary reason in its cost. It isn't a rare substance, but it is very difficult to work.

hmm

I think I have a tungsten AR charging handle

didn't realize it was that durable

Well tungsten is fairly brittle because of its extreme hardness.

When used as jewelry polishing it is virtually unnecessary because ordinary materials cannot scratch it.

It is used as a substitute for U238 depleted uranium in armor piercing projectiles.

nice

The primary utility og tungsten carbide is tool tips,

Yes.

Some day I will own an awesome tungsten pencil. Even if I have to make it myself 🤓

A charging handle made of tungsten is a strange choice.

I've heard of tungsten filled buffers before.

I want tacos

Nothing like talk of heavy metals to make someone crave tacos

I just ate a ton of chinese food. I'll have to wait an hour before I can even think about tacos.

@C1PHER I think its because of the cheap mexican labor that is working on my roof right now
