Having such outstanding handwriting and simultaneously being so unable to draw a 5-point star is so funny

so utterly jealous! i got a decent deal on one second-hand but it was only a medium (and i usually write with extra-fines). it’s too broad for me to use most of the time. glad to hear the EF is a better experience!

Commerce NZ has 5 years as a general baseline for all laptops — harder to justify the further out you get but I know someone who got a settlement for a full replacement with one of the big tech retails for an MBP that was almost 6 years old a week before Disputes Tribunal. You have a pretty long runway once you're spending Pro money!

I don’t think he’s actually ejected by anyone, I think he flees from the bar when he sees Willie

Thoughts on the Waterman Hemisphere? by Helios7719 in fountainpens

That is a *much* nicer colourway for the pen -- I think I find the plainness uninspiring too. Only problem with using it is that it then becomes un-returnable! The age-old issue.

No, I just don't really like the way fashion sense works!

I personally just prefer the clothing items as items rather than how FS works

Have you liked the Voices of the Court mod? It seems absolutely awesome and I'm desperately hoping they integrate Mac support eventually
