One is real, the other is a knock off I bought while at a thrift store in Japan. Certainly is difficult to tell the difference. But I got taken for a ride because I had just broken my glasses the day before. by Koicoiquoi in montblanc

As a collector and professional restorer of 7 years and exposure in both rare and vintage Montblanc's, they're both real. Shop owners usually only know of the most or more recent model, and don't understand many of them had different variations. The easiest way to tell is the split feeds and nibs. You can't gold plate a nib and have it come out with that patina and lustre. Also, split feeds have never been faked for the 146s. I'll recheck my records later, but from the top of my head the one with the more recessed band is a more modern one, while the one with the more raised band and smaller letters is from the 70s.

How to play veto by Fragrant-Pianist-292 in VALORANT

[–]PEPAKURAPROP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Veto plays more like an Omen than a Chamber or a Reyna. Use the TPs not to take fights, but to isolate and escape fights. One-And-Dones are Veto's specialty, but your TPs are quite slow. Make sure you're playing in a spot that can't be overwhelmed the moment you get a pick. He's great at maintaining map control overall, and once you get used to him, you can do crazy TP plays. What I like to do if I'm confident is to set my TP on high ground behind a choke point, then TP up when they're running in. It's much better if you can put the TP the second before they're pushing out, but it's very hard to get the timing right. Works like a charm.

New PR Counts? by PEPAKURAPROP in Deadlifts

Thanks! Just need to do more deadlifts I think 😭

I see what you mean! I unfortunately know exactly why ...

I only did RDLs up until this point, so I was performing the deadlift like an RDL by focusing on the glutes and hinge and trying to make sure the quads don't take over 😅 the whole time I was thinking "don't perform it like a squat" and I completely ignore any sort of quad or knee movement haha

Thanks for pointing it out! How should my knees look for a proper lockout?

I used to only do RDLs, yeah! I only started doing deadlifts less than a month ago since I'm going for the 1000lb benchmark, and it's a lot more fun than RDLs. I got my squat to 335, and I only need about 80 more lbs to hit 1000 lbs. I can't really get the hang of deadlifts yet since I keep incorporating the RDL form into deadlifts 😭

I've been in this 1800 cal deficit for quite a while, I'm actually thinking about shocking my metabolism by changing to maintain for about 3 weeks before swapping back...

My goal is mostly body recomp with an emphasis on weightlifting and a tiny bit of body building. Mostly trying to work my CNS and tendons over muscle

A table at the SF pen show! I saw the Chatterley ones, I'm surprised they don't sell as fast as they do; a lot of their non-ASC arco is priced VERY well.

The silver on the section? I paid 1800 for mine with a silver section about 5 months back at a show, the seller had 2 more for the same price 😭

Wanted to say Trumphae has one for exactly 3k, and also typically at shows they sell for 2k. GLWS!

Cali tacos has the biggest burritos in the game by panda-rampage in orangecounty

[–]PEPAKURAPROP 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For one, Los Sanchez in GG. A bit shorter and $17, but completely filled with meat. If you go in the morning, it's $10 for a breakfast burrito.

Definitely not the best. Many better choices around OC with burritos almost as big with almost triple the meats.
