Why get a space pen when you get get a self defence pen? It's like a normal pen, but one end is a bit pointier than normal, so you can jab someone real good with it (just like you can with a normal pen). https://www.aliexpress.com/item/CQB...2703231390.html I'm sure the police have never heard of these things and will totally buy your cries that "but it's just a pen!" and not bust you for possession of burglary tools or assault with a weapon.

Fun fact: When that company was eventually forced to admit to murdering all their workers, the ex-workers started suing. Their defence was so obviously and completely hosed that their lawyers advised an unconventional tactic - stall for as long as possible. The longer it took for the courts to find them guilty, the more workers would die of lung disease and the less compensation they'd have to pay to the remaining survivors. This worked, and saved them millions of dollars. The first successful compensation case paid out in 1988, 22 years after the mine closed. The company's still going, with profits of ~$100m p/a. One of those lawyers is now deputy leader of the governing Liberal Party, tipped as a plausible future prime minister. Deaths from asbestos exposure at that mine are estimated between 2000 and 4000+ so far - no official statistics are kept and many of the dead were foreign workers (who died overseas) or aboriginals, who weren't counted as citizens at the time (and barely considered people, which hasn't changed much). Deaths from asbestos mining in Australia are estimated at well over 12,000, with at least twice that number yet to be diagnosed. The area around the mine is still heavily contaminated. Incidentally, the dangers of asbestos exposure were legally recognised in 1906, thirty years before that mine opened. The fair dinkum aussie battler advocating sterilisation in that clip? That's the late Lang Hancock, who made his fortune in mining - and his first mine was the asbestos mine at Wittenoom. He lived to be 82, and his daughter's the richest person in the country. Welcome to Australia!

LifeSunDeath posted:drat, never seen one, would rock that thing and click it obsessively. It's fairly quiet given that it's entirely made of machined and stamped metal. The "clicking" isn't as loud or annoying as a cheap ball point pen. It has a bit of a ring to it and a bit deeper when you push the buttons. The action just feels solid, like slamming the door on an old steel car. The button on top exposes the pen tip, and the one on the side retracts it. IDK if that was some request by astronauts. All I know is that I inherited the pen from my wife's grandma, and it's still going strong.

I'm wearing a F-701 right now, best pen I've ever owned. I recommend getting the medium tip refills though, I don't like the super thin tip it ships with. Everyone who borrows my pen is jealous.
