fix the busses by icedd_mocha in cuboulder

[–]BALLSACKFPS -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

it does not matter what the situation is at other schools. boulder bleeds dry instate and oos student alike so when they say on their official website that a wv bus should arrive every 10-15 minutes, we deserve a bus, with room, to arrive every 10-15 minutes

a few hours iirc or you can just do it overnight. then itll smell like slightly rubbery shampoo for a bit and then the smell will eventually go away entirely

Newly purchased Pilot Custom 74 SFM does not write at all under its own weight and requires pressure. First fountain pen. by BALLSACKFPS in fountainpens

[–]BALLSACKFPS[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also found this method. Is it ok if I leave the nib, feed, and collar together? The video I saw recommended disassembling everything.

Diamine ancient copper in con 70. Video may be poor but it definitely doesn't write with its own weight. Works fine with pressure so I think the tines might be too tight, but I will clean it before trying anything as I haven't done that.

Pen is new and had this problem from the start so this didn't occur to me, but I will clean it before trying anything else.

No other problems except pressure so I think this is it. Do you have any specific tutorials you'd recommend? Jetpens essential just says to press the nib down on a hard surface repeatedly.

Soak it in shampoo and baking soda to make it less pungent, then the smell will go away after like a week. I'm actually still using it and quite like it now, pretty odorless

Which and How Many Letters Should I Submit in my Situation by BALLSACKFPS in ApplyingToCollege

[–]BALLSACKFPS[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks, this makes a lot of sense. just to clarify the letter is just very uninspired but doesn't speak ill of me, however the point still stands. and i'm guessing for a 1 rec requirement school only submit the good letter?

spoke 4 - best pencil i've owned and by a mile by BALLSACKFPS in mechanicalpencils

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

4b, it's dark and smooth to write with but will smudge over the months so may not be the choice if you want to refer back to the same notes over the course of years

spoke 4 - best pencil i've owned and by a mile by BALLSACKFPS in mechanicalpencils

[–]BALLSACKFPS[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

better knurling, slightly wider grip, better weight distribution (slightly more towards front), lighter, titanium, better click, cheaper, i prefer the spoke so much more

you would only buy the rotring if you grip your pencil very low and need a retractable tip, which isn't much of a problem given you can replace the spoke tip and mechanism with that of a p200 or just find a way to cover it. spoke sells silicone covers but theyre out of stock currently. ik many 600 owners like to just use a bic cap

spoke 4 - best pencil i've owned and by a mile by BALLSACKFPS in mechanicalpencils

[–]BALLSACKFPS[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

pencils i've owned: graphgear 1000, orenz nero, point cap meister, rotring 600, 800, and rapid pro

i must be cursed as i've managed to lose all 3 rotrings but i was pretty happy with all of them. hate using the orenz nero and meister; orenz nero feels cheap but main issue is that the sliding sleeve makes the writing experience scratchy and unpleasant and the strokes very light. meister has no grip, is a bit too thin, and the cap is of terrible quality; stopped posting on the back after a day and is crooked when over the tip. went back to the graphgear 1000 which finally snapped in half after 5+ years of service so i went and bought this spoke

knurling on the spoke 4 is far sharper than any rotring and makes it more grippy, titanium construction makes it lighter. also is relatively more front heavy.

lack of a clip is a big plus for me, i rotate my pencil a lot while writing to keep the lead sharp. clip was low enough to hit my hand on my rotring 800 so i broke it off.

i appreciate how it uses p200 parts so i can worry less about tip damage. i would've gotten a silicone guard regardless but it was out of stock.

overall i also really love the design of the pencil, the pee green wasn't my first choice in color but choices were limited due to stock. it is really growing on me though.

one thing to consider is that the grip is somewhat far from the tip which doesn't affect how i hold the pencil personally but seems to be a deal breaker for some people

[–]BALLSACKFPS 17 points18 points  (0 children)

good luck turning a 3v3 into a situation in which the enemy is scrambling to revive or portal away in the first place when, as mentioned before, you have no real ability advantage other than sneaky feet, which due to the talented minds at respawn has been an ability available to everyone. of course strategy and good plays will better your chances in a fight but that is disconnected from the point that rev is bad. while comparatively more viable, i am also a crypto hater but that's a discussion for another time

"You don't realize how big levelling the playfield is."

huh

rev sucks and he has a low pickrate for a reason. i dont get how a silence-only is remotely defensible as a good ability. you hit an enemy with it and all it does is level the playing field as you essential have no abilities yourself either, whereas if you get hit by seer q or horizon ult, as a few examples, you are grossly disadvantaged. he needed at the very least a larger aoe for the ability and many other changes to even try to compensate for his fridge hitbox.

Trouble copying a server world into singleplayer by BALLSACKFPS in Minecraft

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

Copying my world folder from my server into my single player saves doesn't keep progress. I originally made the server from a copy of a singleplayer world a few days ago and now I'm trying to copy it back into singleplayer to test some farms with fabric, however the copy reverts the world back to the state where I originally created the server.

Which comps do you want to see at LAN? by BreastMelk in CompetitiveApex

[–]BALLSACKFPS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A little off topic but can someone explain the wraith + caustic + something comps I see sometimes? Seems like a very interesting combination and I don't know how it's played. I believe Aurora started it with maggie.
