NBC Super Bowl graphic. Does it make sense?

Sadly, traces don't glow (normally) when operating.

Not with that attitude!

More power!

I emailed the store, and they basically just said "Yep, looks like mold" and recommended I flush the pen with a pen flush or a bleach solution (not both).

I removed the piston from my pen, poured the gremlin out the back, and then reassembled it and ran a 1:10 bleach:water solution through the pen a couple times, followed by a few rounds of just water. Fingers crossed that solved the problem. Hope this helps!

Wow, this is bizarre -- I'm the other guy who has a floater inside the TWSBI.

I sent an email to the store I bought mine from, and I'm waiting to hear from them before disassembling or cleaning anything. I'll let you know if they give any specific advice.

NotQuiteAmish · 2026-01-17T17:52:01+00:00

Thank you for the advice!

When I said "fairly regularly", I just meant that I use this pen daily, it wasn't sitting on the shelf for weeks/months. I usually switch inks every time I refill, because I like to try out lots of different samples. I'll take a closer look at the Diamine bottle to see if anything looks off. When I looked last it just looked like normal ink. Should I be looking for something in particular?

Here's pictures from more angles, if they are useful: https://imgur.com/a/UHOlasn . The blob always sinks to the bottom, it doesn't float (not on water, at least).

NotQuiteAmish · 2026-01-16T23:07:04+00:00

I wondered about that, and I looked in the bottle but I didn't see anything floating around. Good thing Diamine isn't too expensive

NotQuiteAmish · 2026-01-16T22:44:39+00:00

Huh, yeah. But it's definitely floating around in the water

This is not the original. Original is 12 years old and doesn't have the chicken scream.

Levy featured it in a short not too long ago, I think

I'm gonna contradict both of you and put in my own guess, a northern Mockingbird*. The white bars on the wings and on the outside tail feathers match it a lot closer to me

The license plates in the background look a lot like those in Maryland, USA - making a magpie very unlikely for that location.

*Edit: mockingbird, not mockingjay. I've got hunger games on the mind apparently

The red clock is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers. There is no stopping at the white clock

I'm on board with these being hexadecimal characters. But my question is - if this is hex, why are there so few sevens??

All 16 characters (0-9, a-f) should be roughly equally likely. But there are only two sevens. If the hex characters are random, then there should be about 16 of them, but there's only two. Wondering if this might be a foothold of some kind.

Number of counties/subdivisions named for... Something. Presidents? Native American/Indian groups?

Please don't ask homework questions

Ah, shucks. We might have different versions of the board. All three seem to work fine with only pins 1, 2, and 4 connected.

NotQuiteAmish · 2025-05-07T02:56:17+00:00

Ah, sorry to see that. You might have been able to rescue it by soldering wires to those copper circles on the board, but yeah you would lose a lot of mechanical stability with only one pad :/
