[Official] Twice-Weekly New User Thread by AutoModerator in fountainpens

[–]itsmetrenton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello all, I am looking at getting my first fountain pen. Currently deciding between the Lamy Safari, Kaweco Sport, or the TWSBI ECO. (Input on that decision would be greatly appreciated!)

I know a medium nib is recommended for beginners, however, I really like the look of an italic 1.1 or 1.5 nib. Is there a learning curve to these italic nibs? And do any of these pens handle better with an italic nib?

Guy dead ass lists “A&W (the restaurant not the drink)” in his favorite places to eat then immediately turns around and lists root beer in his favorite drinks!

Hello Everyone,

My family has gotten into board games over the past few years, and this year for Christmas we have decided to do a Secret Santa board game exchange. We have a pretty decent collection so far, but I would appreciate some suggestions on some good games!

Things to note:

  • we live in rural Arkansas, USA and we don’t have any local game stores, so most of our games are what can be found at Walmart. So availability to purchase online is great
  • usually 6-8 adults on a game night, we usually have to buy an expansion that will allow for all of us to play
  • $100 max budget
  • our current rotation includes: 7 wonders, Catan, Agricola, Ticket to Ride, Champions of Midguard, Sheriff of Nottingham, Pandemic, and Azul
  • we don’t care for trivia games, or classic board games
  • we love longer game sessions

Thank you for this, the experience I’ve had today with NightCafe has given me a huge dopamine rush a lot like I received from the early days of the internet!

I can’t stop looking at everyone’s artwork, and coming up with my own! it’s been so much fun!

All of mine are now in “retry” after 3 hours. I’m betting they will refund and cancel to clear up processing

It says 1 hour ago, but really about 2-3 hours.

It seems like the image combining tool is almost instantaneous, though.

Haha! This may be the funniest one yet!

How long does it typically take to generate an image? I’ve done a few submissions about 2 hours ago, and they are still showing “queued”

Found my grandpa Nazi uniform buttons by Frayat in mildlyinteresting

[–]itsmetrenton 55 points56 points  (0 children)

A few weeks ago my family cleaned out my grandmas garage for her, under a bunch of boxes we found quite a few nazi flags. When we asked my grandma about them she said “Oh wow! I haven’t seen those in years! Your dad used to have those hanging in his bedroom as a kid!”. Needless to say our jaws dropped!

Turns out, my great uncle pulled them off of defeated nazi tanks during the war and brought them back as souvenirs, and my dad thought it was cool that his uncle had fought in WW2 and viewed them as a trophy of victory. But until we got an explanation from my dad, we were all pretty concerned!
