PartyBullshiitJust because I respond doesn’t mean I give a fuck about you. I don’t, at all. If you’re gonna tag me and run your mouth you’ll get a response. Same way you act like a toddler when people tag you.
How do you not have better shit to do than talk shit like a 13 year old on here? Aren’t you like 45?
VTshredder69they helped me quit smoking about 2 years ago now.
I've just never seen someone have a meltdown like that over cigs. Dude needs serious help but he's like 60 with tons of health issues and probably just wants to die already. Shoot me if I ever turn into that.

Lol cigs fucking suck. I smoked them for a few years and didn't even realize what they were doing to me until i quit. Fuck them.
PartyBullshiitCan assure you not angry at all. They’re pure entertainment for me. It’s super satisfying their lives are so sad they literally try to think of things to say to me.

So you are beating your shit to all this cuz you get no pussy.
my flagship pen Pen V2 will be at least $500 as the piston seals are $13, takes a foot of aluminum to make and 2 days of work. a nib will be at minimum $20. i will be making a much simpler pen i can sell for under $100 later down the line

Is there much of a market for $500 aluminum pens? Seems like a real machine shop could do it at scale for way way less than that

I can't talk too much shit cuz I do have a bit of a vaping issue I need to address but I won't have a hissy fit over it. Plus this entire county burned down in 2020 due to people's carelessness. And I fuckin detest ciggy butts on all the projects I've been busting ass on all summer.
ramlaKramlaJDoes someone actually pay that much for a pen?
SlowbroThere is a market for high end pens
Yes absolutely.....not a no name pen, but people spend wayyyyyy more than that..... I own multiple just under that range.....However the issue is breaking into a high end market like that as a no name brand made in apartment is going to be insanely hard.
Other than the fact that youre going against massive and well respected pen companies like Mont Blanc and Visconti in the 500+ price range, along with Pilot, Sailor, Lamy etc etc etc in the 150-500 price range. You also are going to get a 14k, 18k, or 21k gold nib for pens in that range, and they often have gold or other precious metal platings etc etc.....so ya know......
Idk as a pen collector I wouldnt really be interested at the 500 one......the 100 dollar one I will probably snag when it comes around though. Theres just no way im gunna spend 500+ and not get a Mont Blanc Meisterstuck or a Visconti Homo Sapians
Yeah, for pens with fancy materials made by pedigreed brands. I'm just really skeptical that an aluminum pen made on a mini lathe in a college apartment will sell for that much. The barrier to entry is way too low

I knew that the elite buys expensive pens but I didn't know normal people buy even 100$ pens.

Not a clue if there’s a market especially since you cannot see what makes the pen special. But I do know that people love hand made goods and trinkets so maybe someone will buy one if I go to a big sky farmers market or something

Its wayy more common than you would think. For a lot of people, it is like having a nice watch. I see a lot of businessmen, lawyers, or doctors etc. with a mont blanc on their desk as a status symbol.
They are also very popular in certain arts because of the variety of inks, flexes of the nibs, line variety, and different nib grinds allowing for unique possibilities.
In terms of day to day work use, or journaling etc, they are also popular for people that write a lot because you don't have to push down in order for ink to flow. It makes it possible to write a lot more pages prior to cramping. Then you also get variety of ink colors. And you get different feedback than gels or roller balls. Meaning you can have scratchier or way smoother writing depending on what you want.
cool270outDamn man, that sounds like a boring ass job. I don’t blame you for fighting with teenagers
Actually a lot of fun. I deal directly with CBP and foreign customs agencies as well as port authorities and local law enforcement for our European, Caribbean and US markets.
Lenny-
Started my new job mining coral reefs today! Now I can finally afford to get a fat white trash retard gf and lease a Tesla!
thats quite the dying industry unfortunately. nasa just reported that july 22nd was the hottest day on the planet ever. coral reefs are like the least resilient thing ever and die if the temp changes a couple degrees.
and @PartyBullshiit is sending massive ships with the shittiest of diesel right through those fuckers. its a shame to be associated with that honestly. might be worth changing your screen name and never mentioning your shortcomings again. a rebranding if you will. just something to consider.

Genocide and massdestruction is the answer to problems with the climate change. Let's blow up those cruise ships. It would be legally okay because we would do it in the name of the environment. #nomorecruisesforthefatandretarded.
The show Suits is about a guy who is super smart and gets hired at a big time law firm despite the fact that he lied about going to law school. He then proceeds to spend 14x as much effort as it would have taken to attend law school covering up his fraud.
Update: my dad isn’t apologizing for anything and fully stands by his behavior. Also it turns out my computer isn’t that fucked up. He just ripped out some usb ports and bent some prongs but it still works fine. Dads still an ass tho

TOAST.that show was really dumb and I am dumb for watching the entire thing.

Are you aware that the skyline from the office is just a curtain?
Suits was weird. At the same time it was bit addicting and completely shit.
