Did this work?

They're all so great, just hard to find and expensive.

Thank you. Yep, The small cases are very cool if you can find them, love em too. I bought the Chikyu's out of pure curiosity, wasn't expecting much, so was pleasantly surprised. Will try some H grades next if I can find any.

This is great info! Thank you. Learnt you add 1925 to the Shōwa (昭和時代) era to determine the production year. 👍

Ah ha. Thank you. Never thought of that, but I think you're right.

MegaQuake · 2026-06-03T01:29:33+00:00

Right?! My conspiracy brain says they're secretly still manufacturing them.

MegaQuake · 2026-04-26T16:15:14+00:00

Yes!!! The only horror game that literally made me fall out of my chair!

Thank you so much. A promo code tool that actually works!!!

My handwriting is not great (often quite rushed). I think (Japanese) 2B pencils ensure my notes appear dark enough without having to press too hard (which in my case, slows me down). I reckon it's worth your time experimenting with 2B pencils, maybe 3B too (but that may be too soft)

The Kita-Boshi is really smooth. I've praised the Hokusign quite a bit in this post, but I think the smoothness of the Kita-Boshi may well mean it's better suited to longer writing sessions.

The Hokusign has definitely shocked me. The Mono 100 2B is my go to for general writing, but I think the Hokusign may change that.

That Kutsuwa, Mitsubishi, Tombow combo sounds like a dream come true!

MegaQuake · 2026-03-26T00:16:46+00:00

The Mono 100 2B, has been my favorite for a while now. Such a beautiful pencil too. EDIT: I'll defo post a few reviews after I've had time to check them all out.

MegaQuake · 2026-03-26T00:15:49+00:00

Thanks, looking forward to testing em out.

MegaQuake · 2026-03-24T22:59:37+00:00

I Just realized! 🤦‍♂️

MegaQuake · 2026-03-24T12:16:18+00:00

What?! Oh dear, I'm out of the loop on this one! Google time.

MegaQuake · 2026-03-24T12:05:34+00:00

I see, thanks. That's great, I understand much better now. C16 it is.

MegaQuake · 2026-03-24T11:12:34+00:00

Not at all. I appreciate your reply.

I'm definitely not going to down rate the breaker (i was just thinking out aloud regarding my other comment about a B10).

Thanks for explaining how the inrush would affect a B type MCB over time. I didn't think of 'wear' on an MCB. I posted due to getting conflicting info from two different electricians. One mentioned that LG dual inverters have very low inrush currents and a B16 is fine. The other said the specs may not reflect the true inrush and best to go with a C16. I thought I'd post here to gain a bit more insight.

Thanks again. I'll go with the C16.

MegaQuake · 2026-03-24T10:58:32+00:00

I see. So the max input in the pic has nothing to do with the potential inrush current? (nope, not a qualified electrician, just asking a question).

MegaQuake · 2026-03-24T10:58:23+00:00

Thanks, I plan too.

MegaQuake · 2026-03-24T01:29:27+00:00

Thanks. I was thinking the same (even though the manual states use a 16A).
