Question for #FountainPen experts: is it normal that my Pilot MR runs dry after writing 1-2 A5 pages of text? Using the converter that comes with it.

New to convertors (always used cartridges before) so perhaps I'm doing something wrong.

People get really unhappy if you park on a judder bar.

As far as I'm aware it's not illegal.

I'm not blocking anyone, other than someone else who wanted to park there 🤷‍♂️

abrokenjester,
@abrokenjester@mastodon.nz avatar

@jonoabroad it's illegal in quite a few countries, perhaps people are just expecting the NZ traffic code to be similar? I must admit I had to doublecheck that you're right (you are, it's not illegal according to waka kotahi website).

My Mastodon client, Ice Cubes, has been acting weird all day. Is there a known problem?

abrokenjester,
@abrokenjester@mastodon.nz avatar

@billbennett there was a hardware issue with the mastodon.nz server yesterday/this morning I believe, but I thought it had gotten fixed . My app has been acting up a bit today as well though, seems to sometimes just not have a timeline.

I think this ORM for #RDF is going to piss off more highly specific subtypes of nerds than anything else i've ever done

[Continuation of previous, saving the previous graph models to a triple store, reading it back with rdflib, and printing it! lo and behold our models were saved correctly as RDF. code follows] Save it store = Store() me.add(store) What the heck did we get? store.dump('test.ttl', mime_type='test/turtle') rdflib_graph = Graph() rdflib_graph.parse('test.ttl', format='ttl') print(rdflib_graph.serialize(format='ttl'))

@jonny you're taking all the fun out of the argument like this...

Seriously, though, ORM are fine. Not fit for every use case perhaps, but then neither is rdf itself 😁

@pixel I love the game sofar, but am a complete online multiplayer noob. Currently just doing solo stuff working through the main story, not worrying too much about builds, or stats. Very unsure about guilds, or crafting, or generally any coop/PvP stuff. Am I missing the point?

That thing when you write 3,000 words trying to find the right 300

The Gmail app on andriod doesn't have "search in THIS email"

I just, fuck me dead.

Maybe I'm not going to miss things if I move to some esoteric phone OS hand compiled by monks in the hills of the Netherlands?

@jonoabroad the what of the Netherlands? I mean, have you been?

There was a poll that stated—Rowling’s opening line in the HP series is one of best in the world. Someone posted about how there are a bunch of other opening statements that are better.

Here’s one of my personal favorites, from Gabriel Garcia Marquez (in English):
“It is inevitable — the scent of bitter almonds always reminded him of the fate of unrequited love.”

What are some of your favorite opening lines in literature? 😊
@bookstodon

abrokenjester,
@abrokenjester@mastodon.nz avatar

@DocCarms @bookstodon lots of good ones already, but one of my all time faves is probably from Nescio (Dutch writer), which translated goes: "Boys, we were. But nice boys. If I say so myself. "

it's just epic what Max and Red Bull are doing. And what a race, scrappy perhaps but highly enjoyable.

Is this locomotive really from 1978 or is that when the brand or model was established? @jon

Powers the night train from La Tor de Querol in the Pyrenees to Paris Austerlitz.

@jon @albertcardona good looking loc. Dutch 1600 and 1700 series of locs were based on this model: https://nl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1600/1800_(elektrische_locomotief)

As world cup finals go, one of the better ones. Exciting, with moments of outstanding football. Spain a deserved winner IMO @wwc

It does hit the hand. But there's no intent.

For this to be a pen is absurd.

abrokenjester,
@abrokenjester@mastodon.nz avatar

@emarktaylor @wwc intent is no factor I believe? And the path of the ball is clearly deflected.

abrokenjester, to wwc
@abrokenjester@mastodon.nz avatar

Thrilling first half, some solid chances for both teams. Nigeria in particular is impressive . @wwc .

TiffyBelle, to wwc

Yet another strange and poor decision from in this tournament for me in the match.

Was a clear shove in the area that would have been a free kick anywhere else on the pitch. Saw very little in the VAR replay that indicated a "clear and obvious error" to have it overturned.

@wwc

abrokenjester,
@abrokenjester@mastodon.nz avatar

@TiffyBelle @wwc oh come now, that was not worth a penalty, if anything the England player dived. Correct decision by the var.

abrokenjester,
@abrokenjester@mastodon.nz avatar

@TiffyBelle @wwc disagreeing is part of the fun 😄

What's the reason for waiting so long to flag for offside in this tournament? Is this a new rule? @wwc

abrokenjester,
@abrokenjester@mastodon.nz avatar

@rob @wwc yeah I can kind of understand doing a "benefit of the doubt" stance on close calls, but I've seen it happen where it was really obviously offside...

5-0. It's looking good for winning the group. @wwc

And 4-0. @wwc . Golly.
