The frequency with which pencil shavings must be emptied from the compartment in your electric pencil sharpener is inversely proportional to... what?
Mine is an X-ACTO. Are those cheap? Or are they the standard?
Does anyone care about pencil sharpeners? No one ever talks about them. You don't hear people discussing where to get the best pencil sharpener, or what to do if the blade stops rotating (don't say buy another one, the waste!), or what to do if your pinky finger gets sucked in by the something-or-other force produced by the spinning of the blade (physics isn't my strong point) and gets shredded to a pulp and you learn your lesson about sticking your fingers where they shouldn't be
question
but you'll forever associate pencils with pain and therefore won't be able to write with anything other than pen or marker or chalk - okay, anything not a pencil obviously - and it was all because you were CURIOUS for god's sake, you didn't think the blade was THAT sharp, what's life without a little risk and some fun? A non-shredded pinky finger.
Hmm.
On second thought, writing by hand is becoming obsolete, so you're good.
