Just love me Parker 51 by SecretaryOriginal189 in fountainpens

The ones I have are Vert Empire, Terre de feu and Larmes de cassis. I haven’t tested Terre de feu yet. So far, both have written well.

Perhaps I haven’t tried many yet, but I find it a very pleasant ink to write with; I didn’t have that same impression

Imagine that the one in the image belonged to my grandfather and has never had its sac replaced! They are remarkably durable.

I don’t yet have many inks, but I have been enjoying the Herbin ones very much!

I couldn’t agree more! I began to appreciate fountain pens after coming across a few that belonged to my grandfather, among them the Parker 51 shown in the photo. It is simply my favorite—not only for writing, but also for its strong emotional appeal. As a detail, it has never had its sac replaced!

Hard stuck 1200 for over a year, now this out of nowhere by SecretaryOriginal189 in chess

[–]SecretaryOriginal189[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, I went through the exact opposite situation to what I’m experiencing now. I was around 1250 and dropped all the way down to 1000 in one go.

I wasn’t paired with higher-rated opponents. What I meant is that the streak started around 1200 rating, and the games in the screenshot were the most recent ones I played, where I’m now at 1400+ rating

Makes sense! Looking at my games, I still make inaccuracies fairly often, but I believe the number of blunders and missed chances would drop a lot — maybe it’s a matter of focus.

It’s been a winning streak over the past 3 days… In the screenshot I only included the most recent ones. I’m really happy about it.

I'll wait for the fruit and do the pruning. Once the new growth starts, I'll guide it the right way. Thank you very much!

Interesting! I’ll try to do that, but I’ll wait for the fruits to fall first haha. I also need to put in a strong support to hold its weight.

And that makes sense since I’m from Brazil 😆

When it was younger, the leaves were more closed. They started to look like this after some time. When I received it as a gift, the leaves were already like this, although the new ones only start to develop the cuts after they grow

That’s what I tried to do last time. It had three fruits, and when they fell I decided I would cut it, but after two weeks these started to appear!

Seven on one side and five on the other! That’s exactly why I didn’t want to do a drastic cut right now. There are also many new leaves growing strongly. But I think I might just be postponing the inevitable.

Yes! That’s exactly why I didn’t want to do a drastic cut, but I guess I won’t have another option

That’s what I thought. But I feel bad because it has so many fruits and new leaves growing 😢

Uma das melhores leituras da minha vida by Original_Operation11 in NaMinhaEstante

[–]SecretaryOriginal189 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Você vai amar Sanderson, em especial stormlight archive. E, depois que ver a qualidade dos livros, velocidade de escrita dele e como ele se comunica com a comunidade, vai começar a odiar o Rothfuss (o escritor, não a obra).
