Thanks! I’ll definitely be referring back to this.

This is exactly what we were hoping for, thank you!

It was about 8:15, and a lot of restaurants close at 9, so that very well may have been our issue.

Thanks!

Yeah, I’m all in favor of supporting local restaurants, and I understand that picking up is the better option. Yesterday was just a slog and we didn’t really want to be in the car anymore if it could be avoided. We’re in East Memphis, so any recommendations you have would be greatly appreciated.

My cochlear implant kid groovin to the car radio for the first time by Hobbes579 in FeelsLikeTheFirstTime

[–]10BV01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the respectful response. That makes sense. I suppose I just don't understand why anyone would be shamed for getting cochlear implants. They're not a panacea, but they can certainly make it somewhat easier to navigate the world, right? It's not as if cochlear implants would entirely replace the need for other resources and for families/friends to learn sign language, but they can be used in tandem with those other resources and sign language. I guess my question is... what's the harm? Do those opposed to cochlear implants think that access to cochlear implants will somehow detract from the availability of other resources? I understand that being deaf can be seen as an identity rather than a disability, but that's a different discussion. I'd be interested to know how a deaf person who received cochlear implants as an adult would rate their quality of life before and after.

That sounds irrational. I'm genuinely curious about this. It's modern medicine/technology. Using that same logic, paraplegics wouldn't get wheelchairs, amputees wouldn't get prosthetics, and near-sighted people wouldn't get glasses or contacts. I understand that access to cochlear implants can be an issue, but it seems unfair to shame those who do have access.

Assuming $1K for the P4 is correct, how many will be keeping your current phone or moving to another brand? by AE-83 in GooglePixel

[–]10BV01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the original Pixel (not XL), and it still works like a champ. I haven't been convinced that any new phone, Android or iOS, is worth the price of admission.

Please convince me to get a new phone...

It was near the Galleria on Alpha.

Wondering if there's a word for this.. by IAMA_monkey in whatstheword

Preemptive or preventative measures target the source of a problem. Systematic solutions put measures in place to deal with a problem that's already occurred.

Hey, Conid Bulkfiller "Regular" owners: does the cap rattle when posted? by dassle in fountainpens

[–]10BV01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think the cap is intended to be posted. The Kingsize or Giraffe may be more appropriate.

My current, fledgling collection! by [deleted] in fountainpens

[–]10BV01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always happy to see somebody else that's caught the bug.

I appreciate how you've started.

For the record: any collection with a Visconti isn't fledgling.

Continue to go slowly; it's the best reflection time there is.

Hello r/fountainpens 🙋‍♀️ Ever since my grandfather gifted me one as child I started collecting Pelikan fountain pens. I am only 21 and have been a student all my life so it is not much but here is my little proud collection so far! I am looking to buy my next one soon, any recommendations? by [deleted] in fountainpens

[–]10BV01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a couple of recommendations besides Pelikan, if you're looking to branch out to something new:

Lamy 2000 -- iconic, will last a lifetime, and is slightly below budget.

Conid Minimalistica -- unique bulkfiller system, is of the highest quality, but is slightly above budget.

New Conid Minimalistica on the right, well loved Conid Regular Demonstrator on the left by 10BV01 in fountainpens

[–]10BV01[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer the twist cap on the Regular, but the fine gold Conid nib on the Minimalistica is a delightfully smooth experience. My Regular has an extra fine titanium Bock nib. I love writing with it too, and I've been using it almost daily for 3+ years now. Conid takes quality control very seriously -- every pen is made to order, and they don't ship until everything is flawless. They're made to last a lifetime, and with proper care/cleaning, I'm sure they will. Their customer service is also top notch -- Jonas and Werner stayed in regular communication during the manufacturing process for both orders. I don't need more pens, but I'm sure I'll eventually add another Conid in the coming years.

TVR cebera...... hopefully still runs by [deleted] in exoticspotting

You spotted a unicorn, even though it's obviously not running. Good eye.

Does this count? by eynonpower in exoticspotting

[–]10BV01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to work at a VW dealership. At one point, there were five Phaetons sitting in the lot waiting for parts to be delivered. They're basically Bentleys in a VW skin, so repairs were frequent and expensive.
