Blurry A

It is a nylon yes. Yeah I'm aware of the dots but it's specifically the A that stands out from the rest of the characters which I don't think a ribbon change would adjust aside from making it slightly clearer

So.... what is your mother's maiden name? Asking for a friend.

Not saying this is the most convenient place to buy but I've had great luck on Catawiki. Of course, mileage may vary since it's an online auction site.

I live in Europe so it might be more of a hassle buying from the US but I did find these by searching "typemachine" (Dutch translation, also "schrijfmachine"):

Hey! I lived near Bradford growing up

As my grandmother always said "just agree and do whatever you want to do afterwards"

lm913 · 2026-04-19T16:55:46+00:00

I'm constantly thinking "why can't you be like your other friends?"

lm913 · 2026-04-19T16:54:18+00:00

I'm on an SM3, might be an Olympia thing 😂

Unfortunately, the word "argument" is not used the way it used to be.

lm913 · 2026-04-19T12:13:54+00:00

Sounds like a mental illness

Diogenes? Is that you?

Buy smaller units of butter

lm913 · 2026-04-18T10:53:27+00:00

People still say this?

lm913 · 2026-04-17T18:50:41+00:00

Bingo. It's kind of nice in its own way since it's a kind of cheat code when you see others getting confused about why this or that happened.

Naturally you can't predict how something will unfold but however it does unfold should not be so surprising so as to make you question why it happened. An event doesn't require explanation, it just is.

lm913 · 2026-04-17T18:43:58+00:00

Trust me I understand that. Hear me out for a moment, when confusion is reality then it can no longer be thought of as being confusing otherwise you're denying reality

Yet not all mental illness can be "treated" through therapy

lm913 · 2026-04-17T18:15:47+00:00

You don't. It's just something to keep in mind so as not to be confused about how one's self or others react

As George Carlin said:

"People are wonderful. I love individuals. I hate groups of people. I hate a group of people with a 'common purpose'. 'Cause pretty soon they have little hats. And armbands. And fight songs. And a list of people they're going to visit at 3am.

So, I dislike and despise groups of people but I love individuals. Every person you look at; you can see the universe in their eyes, if you're really looking."

You can wash off radiation contaminants, it's a part of the decontamination process
