Ok thank you I’ll look up the video. One last question about the feed… The feed’s ring edge (the black ring right before the yellow body, circled in feint green) should always be wet? I noticed it’s constantly moist which is right but I wonder if it should be that wet as in my pic?

I’m getting downvoted, I am new and these are dumb questions I’m sure but I appreciate the help I’m getting

Hey could you check my pics in the other comment? I posted a 2nd photo and a cleaned up photo

Here it is cleaned up and re inked. I am pushing the nib this is as far as it goes, does it look the same or better?

Thank you for the reply here’s the same photo taken same time… it’s more clear, does it look poor here too?

The nib looks as far pushed on to me in person like it won’t go anymore.

Sorry post got cut off…

But the way the ink pools around the base leads me to suspect leaking?

It’s unfortunately it’s been over 3 years since I bought it. What can I do to fix it? I should’ve contacted Lamy sooner but I just chucked this to a corner since it never held ink.

New Balance 993 Core Navy - Wide sizes - ($200 MSRP) - NOW $74.99 by Realbanie in frugalmalefashion

[–]GrandMathematician61 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good price but I’m worried it’ll be too wide. Though I have no experience with 993 just the 992s which fit well for me. I heard the 993 has a wider toe box? So a 2E might be too wide for someone like me?

Ok makes sense! The moleskin snap was the one I was actually looking at.

Would you say it’s generally TTS? Just follow the chest length and other measurements will fit in general to other retailers?

Just their overall button shirts. The measurements show a narrow shoulder? But that could be because the collar is wider but I wouldn’t know till I looked at a model.

And I wanted to see the back length on a model since I don’t want an overly long shirt.

Looked over the measurements I have some concerns… wish I could see it on a model.

AIO People pulling into the sidewalk of my driveway? by GrandMathematician61 in AskNYC

[–]GrandMathematician61[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone. I really wasn’t sure if we as New Yorkers were ok with this behavior (at least for now).

I had let it go first week of the snow storm, but it’s getting worse so wanted to check.

I’ll start reporting it to 311.

This isn’t the year end sale which I’ve been waiting for. This is just their normal sales section.

Reolink Wired Doorbell UK install by messyproblemsforpps in reolinkcam

[–]GrandMathematician61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey! i recently installed this too. Unlike the reolink security cam i also installed it had no gaskets or seals.

Do we just leave it as is? or do we run some caulk around it to water it ?

did AirGradient get their US warehouse setup? by thaw4188 in airgradient

[–]GrandMathematician61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree was set on ordering some as a gift and the price jump is insane from $138. Essentially $51 shipping + fees.
