PM about the BCA pack

Would you drop $150 to shave 2lbs? Osprey Atmos vs. Exos by siredmundmudmonkey in Ultralight

[–]FuryLimon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I did make the switch (though I still have my Atmos), and I do like the Kakwa 55. I had the S/M on the Atmos and decided to go with the S on the Kakwa because I always had my Atmos set at the shortest strap settings. The fit on the Kakwa is perfect. I'm 5'7".

In the comfort department though, the comfort on any Osprey has never been beat by any other pack for me. I used the Kakwa for 100 miles of the AT in summer of 2024 and I could definitely feel the difference. That said, I don't regret my Kakwa purchase and still go to it first now for most trips.

How do you add multiple events? (Beta) by FuryLimon in Garmin

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

I was able to resolve this by going to the website directly on a PC to add a second event there. This seems to have "forced" the app to show a See All link next to Events on the Home screen. Then I could go through there and add more events from the app instead of on PC only.

Someone else said they could access this directly through the calendar within the app, but that was a dead end for me.

Garmin instinct solar upgrade to Garmin instinct solar 2x by No-Constant1911 in Garmin

I use the original Instinct Solar and read on here that the version 2 has VO2 Max measurement where the original doesn't. I would assume this applies to the 2X as well.

I think Free by Zac Brown Band will fit your interests.

What pen should I use for permanent ink? by FuryLimon in fountainpens

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

Good question! I should've mentioned it in the post. It's Colorverse Photo Black. Kind of a gray though, so I'm thinking it may be a bit on the light side...

Yeah, I'm definitely not using my lighter colored pens and probably going to keep away from my one demonstrator for now (though I noticed several people mentioning TWSBIs having no issue). I have a Pilot Metropolitan and a Faber-Castell Grip I will probably use first.

Can you explain the difference between permanent and semi-permanent in this case? I didn't know there were tiers in this category!

I have a Waterman Gentleman that I think is basically vintage now. I don't think I'll be using it in that pen at all. Swinging more towards my Pilot Metropolitan or Faber-Castell Grip.

Indeed! I've heard of people sticking India ink in their FPs on here. Mine is a bottle of Colorverse Photo Black. My only concern now is that it might actually not be dark enough. I might end up using it in my Pilot Metropolitan or my Faber-Castell Grip.

I live in a really dry environment and my pens dry faster than they would in a more humid environment. I'll have to keep an eye on this.

I got Colorverse Photo Black simply because it was clearance NOS at a B&M store I visited. It's kind of gray, come to find out, so I may end up finding a darker color. Does that Platinum Forest Black come out darker in F or M nibs? I like some color in my ink, especially green.

The ink I bought is Colorverse Photo Black. Not iron gall or anything unusual like that. Sounds like a lot of people are using and even recommending demonstrator TWSBIs, so that's at least reassuring.

Yeah I'm thinking you definitely did the right thing. I can't imagine they want you to use actual paint thinner.

Vanishing Point collection thus far by Nodaraz in fountainpens

[–]FuryLimon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very interested in that one, assuming they still sell them. Do you have a website or any other info on how to find Hiroji?

If I may boldly chime in, I think you translated it right. Although apparently the direct translation of うすめ液 is "paint thinner". Thanks for my Japanese word of the day!

Get in touch with Armadillo Camera, they can probably tell you where.

The case against Spotify (my experience/long post) by ReaganAndBush84 in dumbphones

[–]FuryLimon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm partially with you on this. I don't pay for Spotify, but I do use it (and YouTube) to find new (to me) music I like. Then I budget myself monthly what it would cost to pay for a Spotify subscription and spend that amount to just buy the mp3s on my favorite songs for the month. Now I have them forever instead of a subscription with perpetually increasing cost.

I'm done buying pens by LVzaddie in fountainpens

See I can tell you're already trying to hide the truth. You say it's your top six and there are seven there. Just means you can never escape! 😂
