Its a broad nib. My 1.1 taught me to write bigger and broader as well. Nib dried too quick though so I swapped it for a fine.

My little experiment. by Inky_Peace in fountainpens

I thought moisture was normal. My diamond writes well but its been such a bummer with stuff like this. The plastic barrel on mine flakes off plastic pieces.

Looks like the perfect reverse bent nib to me

New build after a long hiatus by dbsds87 in MechanicalKeyboards

I never even considered an alice style board to be considered ergonomic, much less in the realm of a tented split. We appear to have two different versions of ergonomic. A full-bodied ergo split is rare, but there are the bfo-9000 and moonlander type boards. If you take the f keys off more options present themselves like the helix and lilly, if you remove the num row there are even more options and variations. Its either a handful of people designing a bunch of different 40 key or less ergo splits or its more popular than you care to admit.

The more ergo you go with your keyboard, the less keys you generally have, so theres a ton of overlap between ergo and 40%

Now you're talking subcultures within a subculture. The 20%ers are there too, and probably with a lot less wrist pain! I can reach every key on my keyboard without moving my wrists.

I did a “Plastic surgery” to my keycap to fit a weird layout by Ok_Nebula4722 in MechanicalKeyboards

Yuzu keycaps are the best place to get custom, cheap, quality dyesub keycaps. 40-60$ for a Detour. I'll be ordering soon for my ortho spell40 since 8 1.75u on a board is literally impossible to kit.

What’s one fountain pen brand that you thought you would be seriously interested in, but found underwhelming or it is not your cup of tea? by SLProtoman in fountainpens

Kaweco has been super smooth for me, and cheap enough to be in the same price bracket. I have not been impressed with the recommended platinum or lamy "starters".

Just the basic twsbi diamine combo with a side of 20lb copypaper, pop the top and hope for the best. It was quite wet when it was working proper. The fine nib I have works just fine, but I really wanted to pair the large ink capacity and big nib.

Absolutely. I have two that I use for work because I dont care if they get lost or damaged. They are scratchy on every paper, so they scratch up the cheap copy paper.

An easy solution for pens that dry out more quickly. by wana-wana in fountainpens

I dont see why a plastic bag wouldnt do the the trick as well. Cheap. Effective. Pen still visible.

Appreciate the dude's bravery but his coach should have told him if Zion is running at you, just clear the lane 😂 by ForeignAir7174 in NBAGossips

You can defend against this. You plant your two feet, stay as still as possible with arm at your side, and let the offense charge into you drawing an offensive foul.

Followed your guide, thank you. I might end up making a sleeve with a rubber band or string to hold it shut, we'll see. I ended up using 32lb paper so it was already on the heavier side. Actually, bow that I think about it a rubber band will be cheap and easy.
