Megabound posted:Thanks! The top pen is a Kaweco Sport in fine, it's tiny when capped and a full sized pen when posted, it's my go to pocket pen now. Hey fountain pen nerd! I've been recommending Lamy Safari as good beginner pen. The nibs are smooth and forgiving. The pens are relatively inexpensive ($25 to $50). My favorite is the Parker 75 Sterling Cicel set my father got me as a graduation present. When it became clear I was never going back to finish my degree, he finally gave me the set as a "wish you'd go back, but good on you getting a high paying career I guess" present. Absolutely fav pen to use, Sterling Silver with gold trim, 14K white gold fine nib. I really love how you can change the orientation of the nib in relation to the barrel so you can adjust the pen to your holding style instead of having to adjust to the pen. On topic and related, I recently reloaded on a bunch of Mnemosyne notebooks. They've been the best notebooks for taking notes with wet ink. Very little bleed through and crisp heavy paper. I use one for brainstorming and project notes and another for meeting notes. I use ScannerPro on my phone to pull them into OneNote. Best of both worlds: I get the tactile pleasure of pen on paper note taking and organizational flexability of digitizing everything. https://www.amazon.com/Maruman-Mnemosyne-Special-Memo-Notepad/dp/B001A1VB9M

flosofl posted:Hey fountain pen nerd! I'm only new to the scene, and while I like the safari (I own an Al-Star myself) the triangular barrel can be off-putting as an introduction, then having to get a converter on top of that to get the most out of it. TWSBI are doing a second version of the Eco with a triangular grip section that I'm pretty excited about, and seeing as the Eco is already cheaper than the Safari it's going to be a real strong contender for beginners first pen. Also, demonstrators are sexy. That Parker looks lovely, I'm holding off on getting my a gold nibbed pen until graduation and until I land my first real engineering job. I find myself using a lot of Clairfontaine paper, but one of the benefits of being in Australia is we can get it relativity cheap by importing from Asia, on a similar note I'll be getting a Hobonichi Techno and I hear only good things about Tomoe River paper. Fountain pens are easily the most friendly and accepting hobby I've found. There's a lot of respect and very little snobbery about using a $5 preppy, even from those who use $500 Mont Blancs, at least in my local community.

Coffee And Pie posted:Grenco G Pro vaporizer I've ordered two Vapes from them, one as a gift to a friend and one for myself. The level of bumbling incompetency involved with each order really shows that they are absolutely a company staffed entirely by super stoned dudes. Like, they made it right in the end both time but it took without exaggeration a dozen phone calls for each order to get my poo poo shipped correctly. They also, months and months after my last order, mysteriously reship it to me a second time and never got back to me about the two messages I left them about it.

Got a DJI Phantom 3, almost new, for 3 bills.  Test flight went well. Got nice video footage. Surprised how many settings these things have that you can tweak.

UnfortunateSexFart posted:Every year I think "this will be the year I won't get a new phone." My phone is good enough, and my very similar Nexus 6P is my fav phone of all time, but I still did this Would you mind coming back and posting a trip report after you've used it for a few weeks? I'm actually in the same position you are - I have a Nexus 6P right now and it's a fine phone, but the reviews on the Pixel XL are very enticing. I've only had my Nexus for a year but I'm wondering if it's worth the upgrade. Would really appreciate it! edit for content: Preordered this:  I have the X&Y edition one but it's the not-New version and I'm sick of coming back to my games after a day or two of inactivity and finding the battery completely dead

I'm sure they're great phones, but I can't possible imagine how there is a $500 difference in in my life between my 1 year old 5x and a Pixel.

There isn't. You're getting a much better camera and the assistant stuff but I don't personally care about those.

Also it's not a $500 difference. It's not like they're going to refund your current phone when you buy the new one.

Feeler gauges are one of the most useful tools. If you have a file you can also turn them into pretty good files for your nut too.

I bought a second full-sized bed so my roommate and I don't have to keep taking turns sleeping on the couch. It will be nice to finally get a consistent full night's sleep. Con: My bedroom is probably a fire hazard.
