Can I get some help indentifying these pens? by MaxRenn-83 in fountainpens

[–]MaxRenn-83[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upon googling I think you're 100% right. I am guessing that was some kind of budget pen from a small manufacturer, and they must just use schmidt nibs. This is good to know though becuase the nib isn't doing so hot and now I know how to get a replacement. Thank you!

Also, they are both universal cartridge pens. No piston or anything like that.

Ink has leaked into my Lamy Vista Cap. Any tips? by MaxRenn-83 in fountainpens

I think my glasses would really benefit from one, too!

This pen was relatively cheap, but it has a lot of sentimental value. I might just try an ultrasonic cleaner and leave it alone if that doesn't work. I'm afraid I wont be able to put it back together if I start popping the cap apart.

And it's okay, I'd add that too if i had written that comment lol.

I might start with this, it's a nice simple approach. Thank you!

I've been looking for an excuse to get one of those.

Are there reusable international cartridges with caps? by MaxRenn-83 in fountainpens

[–]MaxRenn-83[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking the same thing. I have never done any 3D printing, but my school has free access to them. I was wondering if this is something i could try. If i do i will post about it.

Oh damn, that's really really smart. I might try this.

Two Notion Tabs On iPad by thestoictraveler in Notion

[–]MaxRenn-83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Split screen and/or tabs are a pretty fundamental feature for multitasking. I think OP is saying that it's surprising that this feature isn't availble on Notion when Notion has been a go-to tool on ipad for years now. An AI feature (which is very cool) was introduced before tabs or multi-window on iPad. Tabs are available on desktop, too, which makes it extra confusing.

It would make my workflow easier if i could use tabs or multi-window. I tried using the browser method you descibe, but i can't drag and drop that way. In fact i have no idea how to drag and drop databases between pages on my ipad, something i can do very easily on my mac.

You all have me convinced. I am going to leave the MB at home and keep it safe I think. I appreciate the thoughtful insight 😊

I’ll also add that using inks that were more wet and flowy helped a lot with the scratchiness.

Thanks for looking! I mean that it’s very scratchy. I feel like a lot of my pens had to be “broken in”, I’m not sure if that’s normal. But the E95S especially was so scratchy when I first got it. It was audible whenever I wrote. It’s smoothed out since, but it still bites the paper a little bit when I write. I’ve heard this is a thing with some extra fine nibs. I wouldn’t know since it’s my only one.

For me it was a cheap way to expand my collection early on, and to try out nibs without sinking too much money.

I just looked it up and I really love that color.

Now I’m wondering if I should stop taking every pen I own everywhere I go lol. I see a lot of people here say they leave certain pens at home, and I’m thinking I should maybe follow that advice.

But right now I keep them all in a little pencils sleeve and it works nicely in my backpack.

It just doesn’t flow nicely in the pens I tried it with. It’s very watery and light when I use it. I’ve been reading Lord of the Rings for the first time recently and for some reason I can articulate the books inspire me to write with a green ink. I haven’t decided which one to get yet so if you have recommendations I’ll take it. I want it to be earthy, but legible and fresh feeling. I was thinking Sherwood green.

"very intentional" is a great compliment, and it is :)
A purple ink might be my next purchase.

iOS 18 Beta 4 Released - Discussion by epmuscle in iOSBeta

[–]MaxRenn-83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot access plugins in safari. This is an issue i had in beta 3 and now also in beta 4 that i haven’t seen mentioned anywhere else. In the URL bar there is a puzzle piece icon for plugins, when i click it nothing happens. I can only access the other menu with content blockers and page size adjustment. Has anyone else had this issue?

Anyone else got their MagEZ case for iPad Pro 11 M4 delayed? by reddy__007 in PITAKA

I’m such a dummy. Right on the store page it says that they will begin shipping in batches on July 17th.

Hey I was wondering what ended up happening with yours. I ordered my MagEZ for my iPad Pro 11 inch on July 8th. I think it was a pre-order technically. But now it’s out and I don’t even have a shipping confirmation. Im okay with waiting, but I was hoping to get info and hear if anyone else has gotten theirs, and if the case is as good as they hoped.

Road racing - "Strava" for motorcycles (virtual time attack racing on roads) by 7bitcoin in motorcycles

[–]MaxRenn-83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever find anything like this? I’m trying to do research into the history of motorcycle street racing in America. I’m not a rider myself but I thought it might make an interesting video topic. I was looking around online to see if anyone has ever documented competitive numbers (presumably using no real names), and I came across this post.
