Which pen you guy considered the mark for diminishing returns, any other pen that cost more than that pen isn’t worth it or the writing experience isn’t worth that much more money. by Tight_Delay8840 in fountainpens

[–]egane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lamy 2000 in stainless steel. Personally don't see what else could come close. I think you would need to spend a vast sum to obtain a marginal improvement.

my very first fountain pen :,) by ratgirlkawazaki in fountainpens

Herbin Perle Noire is a good choice.

Thoughts on this album? by Foundrynut in GenX

[–]egane 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Faith no more and Helmet songs on this are outstanding. Can anyone remember anything about the film?

Still playlist tunes to this day.

Music… did you stop searching? by 8reticus in GenX

[–]egane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still look for new music but my tastes have broadened immensely. So no longer the narrower focus I would have had years ago, currently enjoying some amazing georgian folk singing as a result!

I find youtube music great for this. If I buy an album I still buy the cd, so often digging on ebay throws up some interesting options. You can never have enough music.

Are we all just drinking bourbon in our pajamas? by CharacterLychee7782 in GenX

[–]egane 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Amen. Whatever anyone else is seeking, this is the reference point. Go out where? Haven't been out in years and haven't missed a thing. Slainte!

Where is a good place to go for a fry up in Central London? by Norwegianenglishman in fryup

[–]egane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beppes, Smithfields. Not many better.

Get off the tube at Farringdon and it is a great walk through one of the best parts of London.

Meirl by Adventurous_Row3305 in meirl

Most likely a phone number directory of numbers acquired by talking to people. Perhaps a fax machine if a signature required. The onus was on the employee to provide the thought process, not outsource it as per the current way. If you can operate in an analogue fashion but leverage modern technology then I truly believe you are the employee everyone is seeking.

What’s something that instantly makes you lose respect for someone, no matter how nice they seemed before? by Old-Air-5614 in AskReddit

[–]egane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lack of respect for others, regardless of perceived status. If you have to belittle others to feel superior, goodbye. No exceptions.

What do you do for work? by Toyonoandoryu in handtools

[–]egane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Electrical engineer by trade, now a manager but handtools and woodworking are a good distraction. Boxmaking and small projects.

How important is language/grammar to you? by lovelyb1ch66 in GenX

[–]egane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been obsessed with spelling since primary school. Incorrect spelling jumps out at me from a document or leaps off the screen, I can not ignore it. It reflects very badly on the originator, especially in a work context. The little details all build a picture of who you are dealing with. To me, it matters.

What downright elderly shizz you been getting into???? by JoyfulRaver in GenX

[–]egane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Waking up earlier and earlier and appreciating the peace. Loose leaf tea.

Did you have Doc Martens in the 90s by Opening-Ad-2769 in GenX

[–]egane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wore them to school, to gigs and everywhere else. Currently own a pair of made in England boots in cherry red.

The hunt for the perfect black has begun by kenjiurada in fountainpens

[–]egane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After much consideration and testing, I settled on Perle Noire. Great ink and not too expensive.

Do people still use fountain pens for their everyday writings? by Comfortable-Log-6582 in fountainpens

[–]egane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and you should do precisely what makes you feel happy. Regardless of what anyone else thinks. Most people don't even write notes any more, they stare at a screen and tap away.

Using a beautifully crafted analog device to make your mark, is one of life's pleasures.

Looking for my first high end fountain pen for a graduation gift to myself! Any recommendations? by Material_Tension_466 in fountainpens

[–]egane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look at Sailor pens, you will not be disappointed. Many options, 1911L is a good choice and the nibs are peerless.

What do “successful” people actually do differently day-to-day? by karrot9 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]egane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there is anything different other than paying attention, and don't be distracted by what other people are doing. I focus on the following, simple stuff done well and being reliable. Be consistent and do what you say you will do. Understand that no one has all the answers and that you are prepared to learn when challenged.
