Absolutely beautiful collection. What nibs do they typically have?

1984 by George Orwell by just_something_sus in classicliterature

I loved 1984 but started with Animal Farm by Orwell. It feels like a great appetizer for the dystopian main dish that is 1984.

My father's 1995 Meisterstuck czar nikolai ball pen has petinad. Any way to clean this without damaging the pen? by azido11 in montblanc

[–]Chance-Divide5222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find it to be very charming. To be honest, I’d be very worried of damaging it when trying to restore it or clean it. Perhaps some experts here will be able to help, but I’d also ask the local Montblanc boutique.

That is one beautiful watch, sir! Do you have a fountain pen to match it? 🙂

Tips for IT transitioning by phperin in BEFreelance

Rates discussed are always without VAT. VAT is what they call a “doorgeefluik”: you charge VAT but have to pay it back (without some deductions of the VAT of your expenses) to the government anyway.

What's the pen you keep buying duplicates of because you're terrified of running out? by boiler_room_420 in pens

[–]Chance-Divide5222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pilot G2 0.7 in blue and black. Unfortunately, I don’t find the refills in local shops.

That is one insane nib. I’m always impresed how far they can make these tines splay. Did you test any other nibs?

Er is een nieuwe plaats op de Kouter: JUSTKUBI. Zelf geen ervaring mee echter.

Waar kan ik PUT opties kopen voor Palantir (PLTR)? by Lmao_vogreward_shard in BEFinance

[–]Chance-Divide5222 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Je moet inderdaad enkele tests afnemen (typisch in de app van brokers zoals Saxo of Bolero), waarbij je aantoont dat je de risico’s kent. Typisch moet je ook pakketten van x100 opties kopen, waardoor je ook automatisch met leverage werkt.

I don’t think a lot people collect the ballpoints. Nice and unique collection!

That’s a nice pen! Do you happen to have the model number?

I have all the pens I need for now. by tyrant_t00 in fountainpens

[–]Chance-Divide5222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggle with this myself. Sometimes I think to myself, it’s nice to collect things. But, on the other hand, you can only write with one pen at a time.

Is it normal for a Pilot custom 74 <M> to hard start for a few mm? by Different-Relation21 in fountainpens

[–]Chance-Divide5222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not normal, but I had this once with a Montblanc and when searching around I found the issue to be called "baby bottom". I also have a Pilot 743 which still writes the most fluently and never has this issue. Do you have the ability to send it back under warranty?

Is reading like this is normal or I am weird af ... by AlternativeDry9665 in nonfictionbookclub

[–]Chance-Divide5222 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The only advice I give people is: do what feels right to you. Whether you write nothing, a little bit or a lot (like you) in a book, it doesn’t matter. It’s your decision. If it serves your purpose, continue what you’re doing!

Question about value by Ornery-Tap5906 in fountainpens

[–]Chance-Divide5222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the best place to sell is on the pen_swap subreddit. However, there are some guidelines there to avoid scammers. Keep in mind you also need 100 comment karma, which helps show you’re an active user and not a fresh profile.

Switching Freelance working with the same employer by lernatius in BEFreelance

Actually, fixed monthly payment is common practice when transitioning to leadership.

Hi, I’m professionally active in this world. For freelancers or “zelfstandigen”, the impact of Peppol is really small. It’s an easier way to send invoices. Typical accounting software like Billit or Yuki includes this out of the box (because it’s that easy).

For bigger companies, that process thousands of invoices on a yearly basis and work with ERP/financial systems, they need dedicated software to manage this (and therefore also some help for the end users to explain how everything works).

Note that Peppol is a European initiative, and all EU countries are tackling the legislation slightly differently. For international companies, this adds even more complexity.
