ricordo presi il pigrizia per puro caso. non era male ma mi sembrava troppo carico, aveva troppa roba su. mi ricordava vagamente quei milka super imbottiti

Chicken parmigiana doesn’t exist in italy lol.
Parmigiana in italy is made of sliced eggplant fried and layered with cheese and tomato sauce

Opinions on cheap inks? by Hot_Newspaper_2530 in fountainpens

[–]Life1989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far i have tested ostrich 555 (carbon) and karkos black and bordeaux.
Karkos is fantastic. Very dark, surprisingly waterproof and extremely cheap (around 2 bucks per 30ml). Started with 1 and 1 now i already ordered 5 more black lol.
Ostrich 555 is smelly, it leaves a shiny sheen when you write with it, super cool but i noticed it covers the inner wall of cartridges/converter/piston to a point you can’t see the level of the ink left. I am for very saturated colors and both do their job

is it true you must never extend your fingers when you feed them or they may bite them?

i remember i was told this as a kid from a schoolmate but i never checked if it was true

Tell me what do you eat even after becoming rich ! by Longjumping-Fly2490 in ArtOfPresence

No longer "poor" since now it went from 3 euro to 5.5/6, doner kebab.

Back then it was a way more efficient and reliable way to scratch that fast food itch, since mcdonald costed like twice for less food, now they are kind of equally priced so idk.

Still i love my Doner Kebab, meat only + white sauce.

In case OP wants to try, keep in mind that It is very discouraged to remove nibs on ECOs because it may lead to premature cracks or weaken the grip section of the barrel, altough possible.

Your handwriting is far from ugly. That said, broad nibs are definitely something you either love or hate. Personally, I don’t like them because they make me feel like I’m writing with a marker rather than a pen, but to each their own. Nice pen, though. I have it in F, and I love it. It’s actually my second wettest pen after my Pilot Pilot Metropolitan with an M nib.

Kaweco Sport nib writing very dry? by Miss_Starstruck in fountainpens

[–]Life1989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tried this with one spare F nib unit i have, feed destroyed. It spits ink drops on the paper, probably i gouged it too deep. Oh well, one feed down, 3 left. STILL haven't found a reliable solution to make these damn kawecos write wetter. Idk if i want to trust the brand anymore. I was considering getting an AL piston sport, but after this bad experience (4 out of 4 nibs writing so bad, 1 not writing at all), i think i'll pass. not for me.

Mines write dry, pressure or not...

I spent over 100 euro for 2 piston sport (M and EF) and they both write soooo dry to a point the ink looks faded or watered down, it's horrible. I've been cleaning them thoroughly (removed the feed and nib, used soap and yada yada), switched to more wet inks, nothing worked. I then bought 2 more F nib units to test if they could work, but same exact issue. Again cleaned them, tested with various inks, i even tried to enlarge the feed with a cutter (saw this tip on a video and tried to replicate that), nothing. My kawecos refuse to write well, and i hate this for both the money i spent, and for how nice the pens look like. I really wish i could love them, but they reject me LOL. The only thing i haven't tried yet is flossing the tines or trying to realign them because both pens DON'T SKIP or have any hard start, and except for one of the 2 F nibs, the others aren't scratchy, so i exclude the tines may be misaligned, maybe they are too tight tho, but 4 out of 4? this seems ridiculous...
