rplace Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I've seen screen captures of Mod's pages and figured that had to be the page difference. 1965 for us common folk. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mangofirst Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 But it says "world's best" right on the package! Unfortunately there were not any USA Golds on display. The answer is made in China though. It's another example of US corporations going there to take advantage of them.http://www.scw-mag.com/sections/retail/248-dixon-ticonderoga-coChina, India, Mexico, the list is long with this one. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good ole' Dixon.I think maybe I've noticed the heche en Mexico on plain old Dixon #2's and not Ticonderogas specifically...I'm such a pencil snob though. A few years ago when I noticed that my favorite pencils (Ticonderoga) weren't made here anymore, I swapped over to USA Gold. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the profession I'm in so I pay close attention to it. Al Gore never claimed to have "Invented the Internet". https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/internet-of-lies/ Quote During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country’s economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system. Quote In context, Gore’s response (which employed the word “created,” not “invented”) was clear in meaning: the vice president was not claiming that he “invented” the Internet in the sense of having designed or implemented it, but rather that he was one of the visionaries responsible for helping to bring it into being by fostering its development in an economic and legislative sense, To claim that Gore was seriously trying to take credit for the “invention” of the Internet is, frankly, just silly political posturing that arose out of a close presidential campaign. If, for example, President Eisenhower had said in the mid-1960s that he, while president, “took the initiative in creating the Interstate Highway System,” he would not have been the subject of dozens and dozens of editorials lampooning him for claiming he “invented” the concept of highways or implying that he personally went out and dug ditches across the country to help build the roadway. Everyone would have understood that Eisenhower meant he was a driving force behind the legislation that created the highway system, and this was the very same concept Al Gore was expressing about himself with interview remarks about the Internet. DARPA invented TCP/IP which makes the Internet possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mangofirst Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Is there a preview reply option on any of the mobile/app versions of this forum? I'm (obviously) using Tapatalk, but I also use the mobile web version. What format does everyone prefer "on the go"?Haven't had any coffee yet today, only sweet tea. Thought about maybe an iced coffee.?. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
