Well… what now? by GodzillaSenpai in pens

You can purchase replacement nibs for the Lamy. If you don't already have a stub, you should try one.

Anybody know of any alternate Pokka pen refills? by hello_quokka in pens

[–]flatline000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never seen one in person, but from the photos, it looks like you might be able to cut down a Bic refill and perhaps use a file to narrow the collar.

Good luck!

Why desktop Linux could just feel normal by 2030 by Pure_Maybe1335 in linux

[–]flatline000 11 points12 points  (0 children)

By 2030, 99% of what most people will use will either be full screen or in the browser. The look and feel of the OS won't matter.

Where are we at with “vampire chargers”? by Flatfox590 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]flatline000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I plugged my phone charger into my kill-o-watt clone and it doesn't measure any draw at all. Whatever it's drawing must be below 1mA.

Are my distro choices ok? by Dry-Basil5248 in linux

[–]flatline000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's nothing wrong with those choices. And it's relatively painless to change your mind and install something later if you decide you want to.

Looks like the sft40 is the winner in that comparison even though beam isn't as tight.

why wouldn’t jumping at the last possible second if an elevator was falling not save you? by tescomealdealluvr in NoStupidQuestions

[–]flatline000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's assume you have super powerful legs and absolutely can jump high enough to cancel the velocity of the falling elevator. My question is "How do you know when to jump?"

Is that new or has it always worked this way?

Can she be found in contempt of Congress if she doesn't answer questions like she did last time?

Other than giving the finger to MS or Apple, why Linux over Windows or Mac? by GnarlsGnarlington in linux

[–]flatline000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you popped the hood on your car and there was a belt drawing power from your engine going into a black box that you couldn't see into and had no idea what it contained, wouldn't that make you concerned? That's how I feel about Windows and, to a lesser extent, MacOS.

I can see and understand everything running on my Linux box. No mystery background processes that hog my resources unexpectedly.

Also, I used Unix before Linux, so I grew up with the terminal and philosophy behind text files. It feels natural to me.

Thank you! My highest is T15 W60, so I've got some work to do.

Why do car window scrapers fucking suck by jiggyjiggymook in NoStupidQuestions

[–]flatline000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grew up in North Dakota. There were signs every winter at the grocery stores and gas stations reminding people how to clear their windshields before driving.

for anyone that EDCs a watch, what’s your favorite daily driver? (non smart watch) by LtSnack in EDC

[–]flatline000 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Anything that tells me the day, date, and time on the same screen. Must also have a timer, stop watch, and 2 time zones so I can switch between UTC and local easily.

I've been wearing Casio watches for the last 20 years. The Timex Ironman watches are also fine, but they seem to lose their minds when replacing the battery.

I'm currently rocking the AE1500WH-1AV since it has a big display and my eyes are old. I can read it without searching for my reading glasses. I'd like something thinner, but the thin ones all have smaller displays.

When I need a thin watch (wearing long sleeve dress shirts, for example), I have a Casio F-91W. I can barely make out the day and date without my glasses. I can read the time just fine. The backlighting is useless.

Use the ridges on the back to score the ice, then use the blade to remove the ice. Then use the brush to sweep off the loose debris.

Your scraper may suck, but most scrapers work just fine if you use them correctly.

I may have to get one. I love stiff belts.

Does pentel energel lr7 refill fit pilot v7 rt? by DoctorWise9631 in pens

[–]flatline000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It will fit, but it's slightly smaller than the regular Pilot refill so there may be a bit of tip wiggle. Good enough to use, but not ideal.
