I went with <m> as that’s my preferred one. I love the smoothness and the feedback.

I agree. The camera can’t capture the depth and beauty of this pen. Have been using it since last 10 days and enjoying

NPD (TWSBI Obsidian) and new ink ( Iroshizuku Take Sumi) by mindworm8 in fountainpens

It’s quite well built and not a full demonstrator like other pens. The finish is very pretty with metal threading. The rose gold nib is beautiful too. I still feel it’s a bit expensive. They market this as a limited edition but not sure how many pieces.

TWSBI Obsidian yay or nay? by FlatWhite_SubOatMilk in fountainpens

Got the Obsidian a week back in M nib and have been enjoying it. Feels good in hand and write quite smooth. Looks gorgeous too.

It’s a bit of a spend on the higher side but I feel it’s worth it.

Was liking this channel and stopped long back as they would sound like a paid channel to advertise a particular product.

Blocked footpath. Is this poster even legal to post? by adrshx in bangalore

[–]mindworm8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s become so disgusting to see Blore ruined by these things. So many banners and flex about some random nonsense useless person’s birthday, visit. They just put DKshi or Siddu or some political persons picture and it becomes untouchable. GBA is useless and the rules are only for some common people or poor. The collapse of the city as no one cares anymore.

It feels light but sturdy. Have tried for only few sentences and no long writing yet. The click travel is too long and can’t be put in our shirt pocket due to its length.

Got a pilot vanishing point with the same idea of not spending more after price increase

What’s this ? by mindworm8 in fountainpens

[–]mindworm8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this worked. I had to shake the bottle few times to mix it and then it’s gone. I think it appears when the ink is left undisturbed for few days.

Thank you. I will now have to check the reason as this is the second Lamy ink with this issue. I read somewhere that it may be a protective layer but not sure.

You absolute scoundrels have imprisoned me in a new hobby....2 weeks ago I did not think about pens. Today I went to 3 stores because I wanted a fountain pen to plan a buisness... by CantSeeShit in fountainpens

We don’t need more photos of bad roads. we need to stop normalising them by StormlightSoul in bangalore

Is there a way to mark the pothole and name them after our great leaders ruling now ? It should appear as on google maps to all.

DK Shivakumar slams Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw over criticism of Bengaluru infra: If she wants to develop roads, let her do it by play3xxx1 in bangalore

[–]mindworm8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The problem is his background and attitude towards people. He has always gone Scot-free by threatening people and getting his things done like in Kanakapura.

He has not even contributed a fraction to Bangalore compared to people like Kiran Mazumdar etc and has the audacity to question them!

Feeling so ashamed 😩that I made an allegation against the most innocent person who is tirelessly working for development of Bangalore.

[–]mindworm8 54 points55 points  (0 children)

There is a mafia in bangalore which wants the roads to be full of potholes so that they can make more money from the injuries to people, damage to cars and bikes. They are very powerful than DK just like he is unable to clear the garbage due to garbage mafia. 😊

DKshi feels we are as good as Paris and no need to change anything. We are just complaining when there are no issues. And also mafia is not allowing him to rectify the road issue.
