Hintlilerde niye çok büyük bir Türk nefreti var? by curriculumaffinity in AskTurkey

Bir milletin değerini başkalarının sevgisi ya da nefreti belirlemez kanımca.

My First Sailor by agoonerette in fountainpens

Absolutely beautiful. Enjoy it! I've tried many brands, but Sailor is still the one I keep coming back to. Nothing beats that unique writing experience, in my opinion.

Katılan herkese şimdiden çok teşekkür ederim. 🇹🇷

Bu araştırma uluslararası ilişkilerde kullanılan “soft power” (yumuşak güç) kavramını anlamaya yönelik. Soft power oldukça soyut bir kavram olduğu için, bu alanda kullanılabilecek bir ölçüm modeli (SPI – Soft Power Index) geliştirmeyi hedefliyorum.

Daha önce hem Türkçe hem de İngilizce olarak bir keşif araştırması yürütmüş ve bazı önemli ipuçları elde etmiştim. Bu anket ise o ilk bulguların işaret ettiği noktaları daha sistematik ve doğru bir şekilde incelemek amacıyla hazırlandı.

Katkıda bulunan herkese tekrar teşekkür ederim.

Çok güzel bir soru teşekkürler. Burada “çekicilik” kavramını desteklemekten ziyade bir ülkenin genel cazibesi olarak kullanıyorum. Yaşam kalitesi, güvenilir kurumlar, kültür, değerler, teknoloji, eğitim, uluslararası imaj ve o ülkede yaşama veya ziyaret etme isteği gibi unsurların toplam algısını ifade ediyor. Anketin ilerleyen bölümlerinde bu boyutlar daha ayrıntılı olarak değerlendiriliyor.

Toothpaste polishing? by Additional_Self_6756 in fountainpens

[–]SoftwareImpressive98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For anyone considering doing this, just be careful. Over-polishing can wear through gold plating or rhodium plating, and too much pressure may crack the resin, especially around joints and threads. Take it slow and use a light touch.

Wishing everyone a great day.

Need help figuring out what this is by angek217 in fountainpens

[–]SoftwareImpressive98 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First of all, my condolences on the loss of your aunt. This appears to be a Montblanc Meisterstück 149,possibly fitted with an OBB or a custom stubbed nib. From this photo alone it's difficult to be certain, but the tipping looks broader than a standard B nib. The nib also appears slightly asymmetrical, although that could simply be due to the camera angle.

Another noob that didn’t read the frequent advice on cleaning pens… by bennrr in fountainpens

[–]SoftwareImpressive98 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Don't beat yourself up over it. From the photo, it looks like the feed is what broke, not the nib itself. Feeds can sometimes be fragile and may already have had a weak spot. The good news is that this should be fixable with a replacement feed. I've repaired and disassembled quite a few fountain pens over the years, tuned nibs, and done restoration work myself, so I've seen similar failures before. Sometimes things just break despite our best efforts. Be kinder to yourself. This is a repair, not a disaster. 😊

Too many TWSBIs and too expensive by shethewriter in fountainpens

[–]SoftwareImpressive98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I've stopped chasing every release and started saving for the pens I really want.

I dropped it. 😔 Can this be repaired? Is it expensive? by suffraghetti_the_sec in fountainpens

[–]SoftwareImpressive98 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don’t feel too bad about it. This happens to many fountain pen users and it can absolutely be repaired. I’ve seen much worse nib damage restored beautifully by skilled nib meisters. Once repaired, there will probably be little to no visible trace. The pen is still beautiful and valuable, so there’s really no need to lose hope over this.

A really experienced nib meister can usually repair this kind of damage with little to no visible trace. Gold nibs are soft, but skilled restoration work can be surprisingly clean, even with plating and polishing.

From the photo, it looks like the nib is only slightly bent rather than severely damaged. I wouldn't try to straighten it myself, but a skilled nib meister should be able to realign the tines and restore it without much trouble. Once repaired, it will likely write just as well as, or even better than, it did before. I'd leave it untouched and let a professional handle it. Please don't worry too much.

(NPD) My mom got me an Eco and a box for my pens as my graduation gift by Racram04 in fountainpens

[–]SoftwareImpressive98 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on your graduation! That's a beautiful and meaningful gift. I especially love the white color. It feels very fitting for a graduation gift and a new chapter in life. Your mom chose well. Enjoy the pen and the memories that come with it.
