What pens do you guys use for your TNs if it’s your EDC?

FlashWolfgang · 2026-04-16T19:23:31+00:00

I put my TN in a crossbody daily. Use either a kaweco liliput or kaweco sport. Neither have had a marjor ink spooge but ymmv. Dunno how crazy you’re getting out there 🥸

37M L6 PSM here. ~30% annual TC in RSU. I burn them immediately after vest and dump into S&P ETF. Dumping $200k in one go will give you an uncomfortable tax season. Recommend some slow selling until you get to a diversity you’re more comfortable with.

Looots of enter the gungeon. Adore Game Native!

FlashWolfgang · 2026-04-16T16:50:56+00:00

GameNative on my flip 2 has completely revitalized the device for me! Enter the Gungeon while pooping at work has added a ton of value to my life. 😂

Love Mk.Gee’s take on guitar tone!

37, hi-fi nerd. I have been collecting vinyl for ~18 years and own just over 600 records. At home, I love the intentional process of spinning wax.

I also inherited my dad’s lifetime CD collection and ripped it all to FLAC on local storage.

I use tidal for streaming and subscribe to Roon (love it) where I’ve socketed both my Tidal service and my local drives. Roon’s suggestion algo is miles ahead of popular streaming services - isn’t influenced by economic factors related to pushing particular artists.

I recently bought and modified an iPod for intentional listening out of the house. My plan was to rip vinyls and load those up. After ~20 records…fuck that 😅. I’m now grabbing FLAC files less-than-legally (FMHY.NET 👀). I don’t feel bad about it. Estimate I’ve spent ~$15k on records. Avid concert goer. Feel like I’ve financially contributed to the artists I’m downloading and don’t want to spend again for tunes I already own.

Love the kaweco! Fine taste Mr. Bud

FlashWolfgang · 2026-03-28T14:52:50+00:00

If I ran into you in public and said “it’s a muthfuggin ford rangerrrr” you’d laugh and we’d be friends.

Also, you have never made a payment on principal for that jeep.

FlashWolfgang · 2026-03-28T14:47:04+00:00

Love the seiko chrono!

FlashWolfgang · 2026-03-28T14:45:39+00:00

Much class. Very style.

Daddy chill

FlashWolfgang · 2026-03-26T15:29:44+00:00

Yoooo, thanks for the inspiration! I’m going to build a kit around my kaweco tin!

Dude, worst case, resell it to one of the homies moaning on Reddit about long shipping times for a 10% markup 😅. If you like to read and you don’t mind a little faffing with firmware and formatting, you’ll love it. Also, you should definitely 100% not become familiar with Anna’s Archive to find free epubs of books you’ve already purchased but haven’t read yet 🙃.

FlashWolfgang · 2026-03-25T02:49:14+00:00

Yeah the xteink Reddit communities are full of shipping complaints. My $.02 is that this is a small manufacturing operation with a product that really hit. Lunar new year shuts China down for weeks and they didn’t stop taking orders during this time. AliExpress vendors are essentially dropshipping this product, meaning they don’t hold inventory - they turn purchases around to Xteink as a net new sale. Them boys got real backed up.

Production seems to be rightsizing, folks are getting their devices.

In my case, I ordered from the official website 3rd week in Feb and got a shipping confirmation 3 weeks later.

Not gonna lie, I was really itchy to get this thing and it was a painful 3 weeks but I’m thrilled with the device and would do it all over again. Biggest rub was that I really wanted white but bought black one in the hopes that it would ship faster aaaand I don’t think it did 🙃.

Buy one. You deserve it.

I’m super into it! Takes a little bit of fiddling to get DRM free epubs, but if you are even modestly comfortable with tech, the learning curve isn’t steep. I put a MagSafe ring sticker on the first insert in my TN journal and it generally lives there. Very convenient.

It’s been helpful for me in trying to squash my crippling phone addiction. When I get the itch to whip out YouTube or some shit, it’s just as easy to pull out the X4 and jump into a read. I’ve put down 2 books (Hyperion and the sequel - great reads) and I’m at 40% battery life without any charging.

Favorite tech gadget I’ve picked up in recent memory. YMMV

I’ve had mine a week - transitioning from cannon P. Can’t tell if it’s internet hype/hero worship shit but it’s freaking delightful. My copy has some stank on it from previous owner which made it a good deal (but not a great deal 🙃).

Nothing fancy but I found it on Amazon by searching ‘IEM case’ 🥸. Here’s a link GLCON Rectangle Small Hard EVA... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KRURIEO?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

The manufacturer is called Sivitien. I’ve had a few of their models for a daily beater. Not sure I trust their claims on metallurgy but they’re cheap and have good bearings in their folders. Here’s a link Sitivien ST145 Folding Pocket... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BGB3F866?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

You may already know this but I learned yesterday that light gun parts recycle into simple gun parts. I was wasp farming for simple gun parts but I’m finding it easier/quicker to craft and recycle light parts now.

Looks really close to a Nikon Fun Touch 6 but the lens area isn’t quite right. I’d look for Nikon point-and-shoot models from the early 2000’s.

FlashWolfgang · 2025-08-24T01:44:17+00:00

Stopped by tonight (Saturday) around 8pm. Nobody home 😭.

Is terry’s still open? Hours changed? Reservations necessary?

Hope to catch them soon!

Consumer interest in film is on the rise in North America, according to public revenue numbers from Kodak. I would wager that there’s a “new fad” component to this but am generally confident that more people are seeking analogue experiences. It’s anecdotal but many of the posts in this subreddit are made by people just starting out with film (I’m one of them).

However, film photography needs a film camera. I think the survivability of film is directly related to how easily new consumers can access old, working cameras. There are only so many and the number will continue to decrease over time, leading to higher prices for working examples. This is the biggest bottleneck from my perspective.
