the beginning of dragon age 2 where you can be an undocumented mage in a world where mages are essentially prisoners and you need to go to a new city but have to walk through a place called The Gallows and find out it’s primarily a circle of magi where mages are imprisoned so you walk right up to a guard and say “let me into this city my uncles here” and he says “okay brb” and then some random ruffians are like “thats bullshit lets fight” and you, an undocumented mage, just start chucking fucking fireballs everywhere with the magical staff you carry on your back,

In the early years of space flight, both Russians and Americans used pencils in space. Unfortunately, pencil lead is made of graphite, a highly conductive material. Snapped graphite leads and particles in zero gravity are hugely problematic, as they will get sucked into the air ventilation or electronic equipment, easily causing shorts or fires in the pure oxygen environment of a capsule.

After the fire in Apollo 1 which killed all the astronauts on board, NASA required a writing instrument that wasn’t a fire hazard. Fisher spent over a million dollars (of his own money) creating a pressurized ball point pen, which NASA bought at $2.95 each. The Russian space program also switched over from pencils shortly after.

40 years later snide morons on the internet still snigger about it, because snide morons on the internet never know what they are talking about.
