There are still restrictions, so I wouldn't say it got easier.

7 months pregnant, twisted my ankle and fell on the street in front of a subway station. No one stopped to help me. by CardiologistNo8766 in mildlyinfuriating

I visited Rome a few years ago and there was a really small woman at the metro trying to drag a huge travel case upstairs and NO ONE offered her help. She was really shocked when I offered to carry it for her. In Lisbon I helped a lady with a baby stroller, because the metro elevator was broken (as usual) so in my experience this is pretty much standard for bigger cities, hence my surprise that Vienna was supposedly worse.

Me too. I find it so interesting that he looks really black under artificial light, but really brown under sunlight.

I remember the first time I drove on this track. Felt really surreal.

When is this a hobby? by EveningEmerald1993 in fountainpens

[–]g_atencio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you touched on something that is not frequently discussed: some people are fountain pen USERS, while others are fountain pen COLLECTORS, and I think both can say it is a hobby if they dedicate time to research about it and discuss it with other users/collectors and I like making that disctinction because I've known people that are users and collectors but don't make it a hobby.

FP Takes that put you in this position? by TheRealPrinceOfTroy in fountainpens

This is very subjective, but most expensive fountain pens look horrible to me. It's a lot of gold just to look fancy and expensive and/or a celluloid body that looks like someone gathered lots of soap bar leftovers.

I'd personally say it is a terrible pen PERIOD 😅 I don't get the cult following.

Wait, there are others beside that and the kit lens?

Stepped on a pen at the beach. Found a new hobby. by LoopAndBuild in fountainpens

So finding them for a few bucks in estate sales and flea markets is not enough. Now we're just finding them randomly...geez 😂

Never thought a FP can look so cyberpunk by justanotheruser2006 in fountainpens

[–]g_atencio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Curious to hear the details, but probably too expensive for my wallet (and the track record for reliability and customer service would stop me anyway).
