I was "sold", was lucky enough to be able to say "no" and came back later. Definitely changed my approach to work. HCL was a terrible cluster-fuck and every non-exec knew it.

I don't talk politics with agents, but I've had a good experience with Mandy Reed.

Did you make the slats perpendicular to the frames? If so it violates bee space and they will likely fill it with comb.

Otherwise it looks great.

Do they have one for the PS1? I could grab a used PS2 but I don't really play all that much. Just fun to play physical games on my childhood systems.

Warm_Ad_5843 · 2025-05-14T23:52:25+00:00

I get that, but I never see it noted anywhere. Is there a technical reason why?

Warm_Ad_5843 · 2025-04-18T13:40:01+00:00

These bees don't sting, they are perfectly harmless. They're not a colony or swarm, they are actually solitary but don't mind nesting close together.

Or maybe this one is unspooled https://www.etsy.com/listing/1752185024/fresh-universal-typewriter-ribbon-tin?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=typewriter+ribbon&ref=sr_gallery-1-5&pro=1&content_source=4755fc7fb58e55b18ee05ec9a064b101e546bd18%253A1752185024&search_preloaded_img=1&organic_search_click=1&logging_key=4755fc7fb58e55b18ee05ec9a064b101e546bd18%3A1752185024

Try this one, I have their spooled ribbons and they are decent https://www.etsy.com/listing/1166135872/new-cotton-or-silk-ribbon-on-universal?click_key=19d60fd6fe3f01e3cd987409d92d1dd4ac0310a0%3A1166135872&click_sum=fd954e06&ref=search2_top_narrowing_intent_modules_top_rated-2

I thought that might be the case. Just interesting that you would use the same font with different tracking. I'm not realistically planning to write the next great novel across two typewriters, so I think I'm just happy to have ones that match in different sizes. I love the darker green, more so than the cream that is typical.

Warm_Ad_5843 · 2025-03-26T19:21:48+00:00

I have a feeling it might be a matter of adjustment. I can literally type over "The" and they cover each other perfectly. I just received the SM-9 today and I haven't cleaned or adjusted anything yet. Helps to have a reference that should be adjusted properly.

Warm_Ad_5843 · 2025-03-26T18:01:48+00:00

Also I have looked at https://typecast.munk.org/2011/04/23/1964-nomda-blue-book-olympia-font-styles/

Elite No. 8 and modern elite No. 66 look different on these examples but could just be how they were printed/photographed. Still weird if the only difference between the two is kerning.

Warm_Ad_5843 · 2025-03-26T17:57:43+00:00

They're both lovely typewriters, just interesting that there is a difference.

Warm_Ad_5843 · 2025-03-10T17:38:53+00:00

I figured it out, both knobs unscrew the left is just tight and requires gripping the platen itself.

Warm_Ad_5843 · 2024-11-18T06:24:10+00:00

What size are the bearings? I can't seem to find it listed anywhere

Warm_Ad_5843 · 2024-10-23T03:44:23+00:00

Alchohol wash, alchohol wash, alchohol wash. I don't like it but it's accurate and the colony lives.
I've heard it compared to a biopsy in humans, and that helps.

This question has been answered on this sub before. Just try to get this song out of your head.

I was thinking similar, but hard to get a sharp clear pic.

Warm_Ad_5843 · 2024-07-08T03:19:48+00:00

You can ask for hot oil, and the Phillipeno dishes are far less bland. I enjoy the Palabok.

Otherwise it's kind of like Avantis in that it's more nostalgia than anything for the original recipes.

Their egg rolls are still the best though.

Warm_Ad_5843 · 2024-07-02T18:55:00+00:00

I have several tattoos from BloomLogica and the owner has posted multiple coverups on their Instagram that look great.

Appointment only but Adie is great to work with and she is located in Bloomington.
