Does anyone know, was the Diplomat Nexus a limited/special edition pen? I'm seeing the gold nib variant is sold out pretty much everywhere and stores aren't putting up 'notify me when this is back in stock' options. #FountainPen
Saw this quick review by MarcyMe of this year’s SE Pelikan Edelstein ink, Golden Lapis, seems to be same gold shimmer as in the Golden Beryl but with a blue base color.
@paradoxmo I was reminded when I wrote with one of my currently inked pens that Van Diemans Azure Kingfisher is a similar ink that has some red sheen and looks very cool. The sample I have has been well-behaved in the Nahvalur Voyage that’s been inked with it for over a month. I’m planning on buying a bottle of that, so I won’t need the Golden Lapis. #FountainPens#ink#Pelikan#VanDiemans
Yesterday I got laid off from Google. Today they announced earnings and are doing great. This company has no reason to tighten its belt other than to enrich shareholders (which are mainly the executives and the board).
@bswolf I'm sorry that happened to you. I was laid off from Google in the very first round of layoffs January last year. You might find it helpful to join the Xoogler.co community on Slack. I hope you can take some time off to process and heal from this.
@paradoxmo@penfount When I've told friends about liking and using fountain pens, the impression I get is that they think it's fussy or labor-intensive to use them. A post talking through different basic ways to ink and use fountain pens could be beneficial to put curious potential users at ease. At the very basic level, one could just use cartridges. At the next level, they could find an easy-filling pen and inexpensive ink. Etc...
@paradoxmo Well, BENU pens are the only Schmidt nibs I have, and they only offer F as the thinnest. And a while back I did a very cursory search for Schmidt EF nibs and couldn't find any. Please do share if you know of a source, as I'd like to try an EF Schmidt on one of my Euphorias!
My purple Aeropress is here! I have taken to calling it my "Bora-press", because bora is purple in Korean. It no longer comes with the funnel or the 350 filters+case, but I have those from my old classic Aeropress (which still works fine, by the way, I was just after the pretty) in case I need them.
got my #fountainpens inked up for my upcoming trip to eclipse totality zone. I'll be taking three pens with me, a Hong Dian In the Light of Hope <EF> pen inked up in Penbbs No. 95 purple, my TWSBI Go <EF> inked up with PenBBS No. 16 Green, and a TWSBI Vac700R inked up with PenBBS No. 114 Red.
Really trying to get this cheaper ink used up. Since I'll only be gone for a few days, I'm not going to worry about taking any ink bottles with me.
Das Immersive Video fuer die Vision Pro zu den MLS Cup Highlights... ehrlich... wenn ich das beschreiben koennte, wie gut es ist: ich war kurz davor auf einen nicht vorhandenen Zaun zu springen und ein paar Bengalos zu zuenden 🔥
Das ist die Zukunft der Sport-Uebertragung: Mittendrin, statt nur dabei und das ist wirklich so. UNFUCKINGFASSBAR!
Ich glaub ich schaue es mir gleich noch einmal an 😎
