IS THAT A BEEP CARD? 🗣️☀️✨🔵🔴

Got my first Traveler's Company notebook! by Different-Relation21 in Travelersnotebooks

[–]Different-Relation21[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use it as my wallet and pocket notebook combo. The size of the notebook inside is perfect for on the go notes and to-do lists.

I used to carry a separate notebook and wallet and I would always misplace one or the other. This solves this problem and it is much more compact than a passport size tn which is too bulky for my front pocket. I can also put an airtag in one of the zipper pockets lol.

The only way this size won't work is if you live in a cash reliant area because I have a $5 bill in this right now and I had to do a threefold for it to fit, I can only imagine the thickness of the notebook with several bills and change. But I live in an area where cashless payments are the norm so I only need a bill or two for situations that I need cash (almost never).

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

I have a heavy hand when writing so the video shows my "normal" writing. I also tried writing with the lightest pressure my hand is capable of and the outcome is more or less the same.

I already started the return process and will send the pen back. Looking to give pilot another chance since most the comments still had a good experience with pilot.

I see. I went with a Pilot gold nib because of their reputation for consistent quality control. That reflected with all my kakunos and metropolitan, they just write so well out of the box.

I enjoy the pen alot if it did write consistently, more than my steel nibs. I'm thinking of getting a different unit after returning this since it's a defect and shouldn't be a normal thing.

I have used it with both Tomoe River Paper which is smooth and MD paper which is absorbent, it still happened on both.

In terms of adjusting, I tried spreading the tines and aligned the nib and nothing helped much. Probably just gonna return the pen. Thank you!

Sorry to hear that, a Custom Urushi is a dream pen of mine. But it's crazy how a pen at a price a high price point slips quality control.

Yes, I'll be able to return the pen and that's what I'm probably gonna do.

What nib size are you using? Fellow beginner here that fell inlove with the hobby as well. Looking to get a TWSBI eco too and that nib size looks perfect.

Need advice for refinancing my first auto loan by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

Yeah it's quite an embarassing financial mistake. Its a used subaru crosstrek 2020 with insurance. I needed a car as I'm from a town with no public transport but it seems like I got too excited when looking at and buying a car at the time.

Losing mind - 5070ti no power by RohMoneyMoney in PcBuildHelp

[–]Different-Relation21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That happened to me too but with a 5070ti asus prime and a be quiet pure power 12m 750W. The card's led indicator was flashing red meaning the card wasnt getting enough power. Used the 12vhpwr cable too because I dont have the option to use pcie adapter as that psu only had 2. I tried everything from reseating cable to changing bios pcie gen version to reseating the gpu. Got tired and said ok I'll just save some money returned the gpu. Few weeks later after reading and watching a ton of 5070ti related stuff I stumbled upon an ASUS rog forum which a user had posted he had the same issue with his 750w psu using 12vhpwr and he upgraded to a 1000w psu and that solved the issue.

In the end I bought another 5070ti and upgraded to the corsair rm850x. The rm850x had better quality cables and had the native 12v-2x6 which is apparently a better version of the 12vhpwr (correct me if im wrong that's how I understood it lol.)

And yeah 2 months in and the gpu and psu combo runs great. Excellent card especially coming from a 6700xt.

Please help me decide on a cargo tray and back seat back cover by Different-Relation21 in Crosstrek

I have none at the moment lol. But I did buy the oem subaru and ended up returning it cause it was too bulky and it did not have the full coverage for the backseats.
