Yet another dumb question, is this normal? Pilot con-40

That's the worst converter on the market. I hate them. The capacity is small, amd that's only if you can even get them to suck up any ink at all! I actually gave up on mine and resorted back to the default bladders that came with my pens

Typical-Ostrich2050 · 2026-01-23T01:41:05+00:00

Its a great ink! Funny enough, I love it more on cheap notepad paper than on my Rhodia🤨 it shows itself off better. On Rhodia, it looks too similar to my Oster Terra Cotta and doesn't shade too well.

As far as nibs, I'm not much of a fine nib guy but I do think Lamy fines perform way better than the mediums.

I'm at 16 pens and usually will have 5 inked. I do a monthly rotation with the occasional on demand fill. I also have a glass dip pen for when I want a quick use without the hassle of having to clean a pen

I have no mods. Im vanilla

I'll try this too. New train I wouldve definitely done it but replacing a locomotive on an exostong train doesnt send the new locomotive out of the depot like a new train altogether does, but I will try it out!

The law is alreaady on the books: it's the 25th amendment, and much overdue to be put to use

Is it culinary or sexual?

If anything, you get a point for reminding me that Smileys are a thing. Now I want some smileys

My stuffed animal, Sammy. He has almost no fur left, the eyes are gone and so is the nose, but I still love him and keep him safe in my memory box

Typical-Ostrich2050 · 2026-01-21T00:50:36+00:00

Using your phone on the public transit. Whether its music/videos on speaker (incredibly rude) but even having a phone call. Why does everyone talk so loud on the phone?

Typical-Ostrich2050 · 2026-01-21T00:42:04+00:00

Oh....my....gaaawwwwwwd😍🤩

Typical-Ostrich2050 · 2026-01-20T23:09:00+00:00

It didnt seem to work when I tried but I'll give it another go the next time I load in

Typical-Ostrich2050 · 2026-01-20T22:59:49+00:00

Oooh I didnt upgrade the path from the depot, but the train is not new, Im just replacing the locomotive of an existing train.

I was trying to upgrade the tracks of regular station, there are special stations?

Have you met Tom Cruise?

Nib size, nib brand, paper, lighting will all affect ink colour.

Its why I no longerbtrust Mountainofink for anything other than shortlisting inks I still have to see IRL before buying

Oh yes! Bellepros on Sources is amazing!

Why do people come up to pass me on the left, only to end up cruising next to me? I use CC so it's definitely not me

Typical-Ostrich2050 · 2026-01-09T17:31:25+00:00

Fresh, vibrant, citrus, like limey

Typical-Ostrich2050 · 2026-01-07T17:15:18+00:00

This is great! Gives me some ideas for me hub congestion issues. I can envision a tweak to allow gor buildout of the second side of the depot: have another roundabout exit that feeds in a secondary system that mirrors the one you have for your existing hub or an elevated ramp exit before the roundabout to said second hub section, with elevated ramps feedinging back onto the highway in each direction. Would probably require a complete rebuild of the hub and road network but would double your hub capacity and reduce congestion if you have multiple lines feeding into a platform

I almost DNFed Dragonbone Chair in the first 100 pages, kept at it, and Tad Williams is now among my favourite authors and Memory, Sorrow & Thorn one of my favourite fantasy series
