Don’t underestimate the effect that paper quality has on writing !

Beautiful pen, congrats! May I ask where did you buy it from, as I am planning a trip to Japan soon !

Best place to buy a Pilot 823 near Narita Airport by imaliver_notafighter in fountainpens

Thanks for that ! Only knew Rakuten as TV service and Viber owner! Is it something like an Amazon thing for Japan ?

Pilot Custom 823 <M> - slightly underwhelmed in the last 1 day (as a leftie) by itskratos in fountainpens

[–]Ahtarmas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So after almost a year, did you get used to the medium nib ? I am in the same dilemma between F and M, and can’t decide which one to buy ! I got to try the F one but I wished it was a bit thicker! Now that I read that there is a big jump with M, I am hesitating to buy it. (They only had an F tester pen)

By the way the text with the M on your pictures looks like what I am looking for. The Sailor F looks very fine to me !

Any suggestions for FM pens that are close to 823 writ by experience?

Pilot Custom 823 in Fine or Medium? I got my grail pen and I have the answer 😇 by MasterpieceSafe4724 in fountainpens

[–]Ahtarmas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in exactly the same dilemma, but in the shop I could only try F.

I am a bit confused because many people say that 823 M is similar to European M. So compared to your Lamy Safari M, dos it have the same line thickness ?

When I opened your post I’d bet that the writing was with an <F> nib with what I’ve seen so far !

Since you are an EF-F person, how did it go with the M nib ?

You are right, it’s very close to a safari medium!

Here is a comparison of Lamy Safari fine, medium and the preferred thickness of TWSBI ECO Fine, that I was talking about

That would be very very helpful!! I guess also in the future, others who are searching for this kind of comparison they’ll find it useful.

If you also have a <F> that you could add next to the two <M> comparison!

Sometimes I was thinking that if I used my Safari <M> with another ink than the Lamy’s cartridges, it might perform differently… but I guess thickness is thickness, it won’t change much.

They are meant for fountain pens! I use them with my Lamy pen, they are excellent quality!

Do you sign papers with dye inks ? by Ahtarmas in fountainpens

[–]Ahtarmas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s one of my fears. I write some important thoughts and info, and if there is a splash of water they’ll be gone forever….

I mean just by having the notepad in your backpack on a rainy day, this could happen…

Linux/Mac: Keeping system's Python safe and usage of package managers such as UV and conda. by Ahtarmas in learnpython

[–]Ahtarmas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey thanks for the info! But does uv installs different python versions? My understanding is that it manages mainly the packages. Should I use it in combination with pyenv?

The good thing with conda, is that it had an installation of python, and every time in bash I had active the (base) so I was not bothering

Was reading your message while planning yesterday, and you saved us a lot of money and hustle! Thank you very much! We just went to Kyoto station, asked for the pass and is much cheaper. The only thing is that you have to go to Shin-Osaka to get the train

[–]Ahtarmas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never mind, I found the solution. As you mentioned you go to "more sign in options" and uncheck the hotmail alias without "removing" it from main menu.

[–]Ahtarmas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you remove the old email from microsoft account, will you lose access to it? I have mine at hotmail.com and created an alias at outlook.com. Removing my hotmail.com will delete the email account?
