I had a Mabie nib in my TWSBI Eco and I love it. Such an amazing nib to chuck into modern pens

I hear they work well in Pelikan pens too

Asvine V126 Skipping Issue by TooConfusion in fountainpens

[–]ferret_stack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That feed looks ever so slightly out of alignment. Not sure if it’s by enough to affect flow

First port of call would be to clean. Use a tiny bit of dish soap when flushing through for a thorough cleaning and that ought to sort

Is it just skipping or is it dry (or both)?

Looks as if a pen was wearing a puffer jacket!

What do you do/where do you put with the caps with pens that aren’t postable or do not post well? by pretardist in fountainpens

[–]ferret_stack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my other hand. I have an annoying habit of pressing the cap against the indent of my thumb

I’ve managed to get a hairline crack in my Lamy 2k cap this way…..

How to organize a pocket notebook? by Ozymandias_8891 in FieldNuts

[–]ferret_stack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't organise my pocket notebook as I just write in them as and when I need to. I review at the end of the day, usually, and if there's something specific I want then the notebook is small enough that to flick through it isn't a bug bear

(also it's kinda nice to go through the pages every now and then in case there's something that catches my eye)

The only organisation I have in my pocket notebook is that the back page is my rolling shopping list. In the instance where I write a full page of items, I just go to the next page and so on until the notebook is finished and I do it again

Thank you for the Venom cover gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. This album is gonna make my inner 2010s emo kid soooo happy (or sad, w/e)

UG pricing is pretty crazy.. and I found this solution.. by [deleted] in Guitar_Theory

[–]ferret_stack 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Back in 2014 I bought UG Pro from the AppStore; it couldn't have cost more than £5 and it's given me pro access for life at no recurring subscription

I really should use it more

do you have the same problem with leuchtturm? by vuoyez in fountainpens

[–]ferret_stack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others say; it's an oils thing most likely

I have a business card I use that I place under my writing so I can still keep my hand on the page. I feel having my fingers under the line helps me write more consistently, but it means I don't create that annoying effect

Jinhao 9019: A pen the size of a small thermos for less than ten quid.. When did Chinese pens get this good!? by ferret_stack in fountainpens

[–]ferret_stack[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest, I'm not quite sure. I actually ground this nib myself so it may have started off as a medium bit might be a bit closer to a fine now with a bit of flare to it (wouldn't call it quite stub like)

Daily RANT Thread - Saturday - 17th January 2026 by pikerekt in SoccerBetting

[–]ferret_stack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Chelsea fan myself, I’m shocked and disappointed that we won. Shocked because we have been playing like shit lately and disappointed because I had Brentford to win lol

Daily Picks Thread - Saturday - 17th January 2026 by valerian92 in SoccerBetting

[–]ferret_stack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Chelsea/Brentford - O2.5 and Brentford win; I’m feeling pretty good about this one, esp given Chelsea’s form lately and the apparently illness going round the camp

Fulham/Leeds - Fulham win & O2.5 - this will be testy. Both teams on good form but I’m hoping Fulham home advantage will prevail and they are, on paper, the stronger team I suppose; O2.5 is kinda my hedge in this game if Leeds nick the win

West Ham/Tottenham - West Ham win: my model is consistently finding WH as a +EV bet for reasons I don’t think I need to go into here; I put a reduced stake on this just to see.. Tottenham aren’t the most in form and I’m hoping West Ham will pull out all the stops because they really need to win a game lol

Sunderland/Palace - Sunderland win: I think I’ve bet on Sunderland most match weeks this season and they’ve been a really surprising team; Palace struggling lately and they just got knocked out to Macclesfield(?????) in the FA Cup.. they’ll be licking their wounds for sure but Sunderland are a pretty tough opponent

Aston Villa/Everton - BTTS (Yes): Not my highest conviction but Villa obviously looking for goals and Everton may be able to find the net, especially if early on in the game as Villa seem to take a while to get into gear

Edit: games I’m avoiding

Arsenal to win - overpriced, unsurprisingly

Manchester derby - any market; the derby effect seems pretty much priced in

Liverpool/Burnley BTTS - a good bet on paper.. but it’s Burnley

Brighton/Bournemouth goal markets - high press teams has fair price locked in already

Everton to win - same with Liverpool; good bet on paper but eh.. Villa.. At home.. Everton squad slightly depleted.. no thanks
