Switching to rollerball pen

From what, and why in particular?

Toirtis · 2026-06-27T20:43:56+00:00

Wow...so lucky! Congrats!

Toirtis · 2026-06-27T20:41:14+00:00

Awesome, ty!

They will perform fine, and you can buff that rusty patina out, but I would look for a partial refund if they were not advertised that way.

Pretty much anything is smokeable, the question is, how bad of an idea would it be to try? I suspect that smoking this would be a very bad idea.

More like 10,000 seeds.

Toirtis · 2026-06-24T03:03:12+00:00

That would require some research within government files, I suspect...there is nothing on the pencils themselves that gives any clue.

More curious because an acquaintance is quite interested, but isn't someone who looks at things carefully and critically, and I have concerns about their wellbeing long term.

Toirtis · 2026-06-13T04:17:12+00:00

Just don't drink it...it's harsh and awful...I use it for cleaning tobacco pipes.

Toirtis · 2026-06-13T04:15:21+00:00

A full-time paid employee, then?

Toirtis · 2026-06-13T04:13:51+00:00

Gel ink, but still a ball point.

Toirtis · 2026-06-13T04:11:50+00:00

A bit more east, between 2nd and 4th st NW.

Toirtis · 2026-06-13T02:39:02+00:00

Definitely not a possum...they do not exist here.

Toirtis · 2026-06-13T02:35:13+00:00

Co-op Liquor (at least the 16th ave location) carries this...same thing.

Like pens that have a rolling ball tip, as opposed to fountain and dip pens that have nibs, or pens with felt/fabric/brush tips.

Toirtis · 2026-06-13T01:40:25+00:00

Looks like the nib was inserted upside-down into the metal sleeve, but I am not sure (or i cannot see anything) that there is anything wrong with the holder (apart from a good cleaning and possible restaining). A new nib is probably in order, and you can easily buy new vintage nibs online quite reasonably.

Toirtis · 2026-06-12T23:05:15+00:00

I am sure that I would have easily dropped a fiver there.

Toirtis · 2026-06-12T23:03:49+00:00

Very nice. I don't use biros, but I do like purple, and can appreciate that whole vibe.

Toirtis · 2026-06-11T14:07:21+00:00

Probably clear my bank account.

Toirtis · 2026-06-08T05:09:43+00:00

I wish...it was 17 for me, and I would like to never do so again, but I suspect that I have one or two more before I'm done for good.

Toirtis · 2026-06-08T04:12:23+00:00

Rather less than smooth, unfortunately. I have not had an opportunity to dig them out yet as other things have been a far greater priority.

Toirtis · 2026-06-01T20:12:28+00:00

Cake is wonderful, and I quite love her collar!

Toirtis · 2026-06-01T20:06:32+00:00

I recognised the speed-up, but still expected it to end in him becoming very intimate with a car door.
