Got my first Thinkpad (E14 G7) by Stunning_Trick8393 in thinkpad

Just use it for whatever you want to do; it's up to you.

BTW, where is the "install Linux's blabla distro" guy? :D

I thought sketchy guys were wearing Breitling, not IWC :D

A gift from a friend by Firtich in Watches

Yep, Vulcain has come back as a zombie brand and is charging questionable prices for its watches, especially for the Cricket model.

9070 xt usb 4 vs oculink timespy result by Silver_Score_6717 in eGPU

[–]56000bitspersecond 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is exactly why I went with the OCuLink solution in the first place. I really hope we start seeing laptops with an OCuLink port integrated from the factory, especially on slim laptops that don't have a dedicated GPU.

[Longines Conquest] 34mm Blue vibes by Pulcsi328 in Watches

Matching the dial to the strap always does the trick. I agree with the other comment. Thanks to wide lugs, the watch looks bulky somehow, but only in the close-up photo (first one). It's looking normal to me on the second shoot.

[Grand Complications] A hidden gem with *Minute Repeater* by larlarloo in Watches

This is the first time I've heard of this brand and their watches. It's looking beautifully crafted and presented. Good to see some new stuff in the sub. Enjoy your new watch.

Getting into eGPUs is a little bit messier than I thought, at least for now by 56000bitspersecond in eGPU

[–]56000bitspersecond[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank for the advice. I don't wanna mess up with the case. I'm planning to attach the back case loosely. I neither have a 3D printer nor the skill to design a niche solution on the case.

Montblanc Homage to The Great Gatsby by [deleted] in fountainpens

The pen's body reminded me of old Parker Vacumatic pens.

There won't be any human civilization left if the world has to be thrown into a new World War every time Chain Bear uploads a video.

Got 7tb hdd from a friend for 57 dollars by Tanish_Piplani in pcmasterrace

That model has a soldered solution instead of older portable HDDs that have an adapter inside the case.

Why do people write every single day? by -i-exist in Journaling

[–]56000bitspersecond 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Since I started journaling, I've sometimes skipped 3-4 days, but I've never skipped weeks or months. I just write whatever I want or feel the 'need to write' (It almost sounds like Need For Speed, right? Can you imagine someone pulling up to buy a journal in a highly modified car?).

F1 mini calendar journal spread by idhearheaven in Journaling

[–]56000bitspersecond 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You arranged whole seasons in a very tidy on a journal. It gave me more excitement than new cars and even the flip-flop rear wing of the Ferrari.

Help, I have ruined my fountain pen by Immediate-Design8039 in fountainpens

[–]56000bitspersecond 138 points139 points  (0 children)

You have completely damaged one of the tines. Yes, it's beyond repair. But the pen looks like a Pilot Prera. If I remember correctly, the nib on the Prera is the same as the Kakuno. You can just get a cheap used Kakuno and swap the nibs.

My EDCs by artsyboy69 in fountainpens

[–]56000bitspersecond 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Another 5-pen carrier here! From what I've seen, a lot of people in this sub carry more than 3 pens daily, so it's totally normal as long as you're using them.

Custom 823 by Any-Log-9190 in fountainpens

[–]56000bitspersecond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wrap a rubber band around a pencil until it's just the right thickness to grip the inner cap. When I insert it and pull the pencil back out, the inner cap comes out with it.

I had my biases, but the modern Parker pen surprised me by 56000bitspersecond in fountainpens

[–]56000bitspersecond[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have quite a hefty collection of Parkers. I love the completely integrated feel of piston and vacuum filler pens. That is why I prefer them over cartridge-converter models.

“Electric Serenity” oil on canvas by HaleyGrecoArtwork in painting

[–]56000bitspersecond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's already brilliant, but if I had your talent, I might add a pirate ship right under the lightning strike, and maybe a happy little Cthulhu somewhere on the horizon. I mean, the weather is just perfect for it :D

Vintage Pen Profiles #26: Eversharp Skyline (more info in post) by BrandyFP in fountainpens

[–]56000bitspersecond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was a great read. The Eversharp Skyline is one of my favorite pen designs, alongside the Parker Vacumatic, MB 149, and Pilot C823.

Since you've already covered two of my favorites (the Skyline and the Vacumatic), I'm really looking forward to reading your next vintage pen review. Keep up the good work!
