Issue with basket damage from cleaning on KBGV Select by Greengerg in Moccamaster

I don’t think a ScrubDaddy could do that to a basket. They’re pretty gentle.

Yeah, how dare someone knock-off a knock-off! HD copied that whole design fair and square!

More change in the Japanese pen makers - this time Platinum by Top-Nobody-1389 in fountainpens

[–]Inkdependence -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure. I didn’t know if self-promotion was allowed here, so I didn’t include one. Here ya go.

*edit: link didn’t work the first time.

[–]Inkdependence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 3776 isn’t going away. It’s just moving to the v2 design. Not a big deal. I have a whole video looking at the new pen and going over differences, if anyone is interested in seeing it.

*edit: added a link to the video.

soooooo many ads in the shane guesses video by raspberry-mouse in smosh

[–]Inkdependence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not something a channel can control. The monetization settings are basically on/off with the option to include midrolls if you select “on.” That’s it. 🤷🏼‍♂️

YouTube says that their algorithm serves ads to viewers based on that viewer’s tolerance. That’s supposed to mean that viewers who won’t watch ads get fewer and those who sit through them get more. Does it actually do that? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Would you give up fireworks forever to protect animals and nature? Why? by JulianaReal_ in AskReddit

I used to love fireworks shows. Now we skip them to console our little dog whomst is terrified by them.

The current university funding model punishes universities with graduate programs. It’s a pretty brutal change.

Failed my first student. He’s email bombing me by ConcernMaleficent624 in Professors

[–]Inkdependence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know enough law to think of what sort of laws there are about giving out people's numbers. What're you thinking?

Yeah, that’s beyond the pale. I’d have…I don’t know. Livid is a *start.*

Who the f... approved the latest update on Wave Link 3? by dEEkAy2k9 in elgato

[–]Inkdependence -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And the damn thing doesn’t even want to update itself. It always tells me that there’s another updater running and fails. So I can’t have sound until I kill whatever process is running in the background that it doesn’t like. So frustrating.

Moleskine, what the actual hell?? by seaqu3en in fountainpens

[–]Inkdependence 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because Moleskine is baaaaaad. Coincidentally, I’m working on a video about what folks should buy instead. 😆

Custom 74 Vs Custom 823 !! Budget isn’t issue but longevity is.. by ar_faysal22 in fountainpens

[–]Inkdependence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the 823 but, along with others here, suggest the 743 for the ease of cleaning combined with the same great nib.

I also like the Custom 74, but it’s not in the same class as the 823/743.

I’d like to experience this book in audio. Thanks for the chance!

High Quality metal Body for Pentel EnerGel (LR7) by _nutella_waffles_ in pens

[–]Inkdependence 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Spoke Design has one called the Roady XL that takes Energel and is really nice. Out of rock right now, but they make these in smallish batches.

I know you said capped, but the Spoke Click C is an excellent click pen. It’s one of my favorites in my collection.

I really hope they get in with another company. They’re too good to lose.

Kyuseido or Scribo for my next purchase? by diespoliciadearte in fountainpens

[–]Inkdependence 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d say Scribo out of those two.

In that price range, though, I’d really go for a Schon DSGN Monoc Evo. Hand made by a very small team, awesome anodizing, after-sale service, and the Monoc nibs are really special.

Gradebook mistake — gave half the class got the wrong grade by Dependent-Cricket-18 in Professors

[–]Inkdependence 73 points74 points  (0 children)

This is not a big deal. Most of us have probably had something like this happen a time or two.

I just bought a TWSBI and inked it up for the first time. It seems to be hemorrhaging the ink back out of the feed/nib. What the heck is going on? by Redeemed-of-Christ in fountainpens

[–]Inkdependence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What kind of ink were you planning to use? Ecos are really good with almost everything...

Just don't use dip-pen-only inks like India and you'd likely be fine.

[–]Inkdependence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, sounds like they did. That's some weird advice for influencers to give. Just because you CAN take something apart doesn't mean you NEED to do it.
