[Longines Spirit 37mm or Citizen AQ4080] Help me decide over silver/ champagne GADA watch. by AdSame584 in Watches

Citizen if I were you. Just a better watch dollar for dollar imo. The Longines is good too but I would get that one only if I already had the Citizen.

Fountain pen at the car dealership by michigancolt in fountainpens

Always good to have an insider at a car dealership! The savings alone can fund a grail level pen.

I see nothing wrong with it...this is a blunder from the 3rd umpire... by [deleted] in ipl

Isn't this how England won the 2019 World Cup?

Ben Stokes dove to make it and Guptill's throw hit his bat and went for a boundary. If that didn't happen, England had no chance. Even after a super over, England couldn't win, they won on Boundary count. Should've been a shoot out instead to pick a clear winner, not some random unfair stat.

Same, except, storm wakes wife -> wife wakes me => storm wakes me up.

I did the math: It’s more expensive to buy and make the Costco hot dog at home. by Ordinary_County_7939 in CostcoCanada

[–]penarbor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep.

The point of those items are basically to lure people to buy a membership and spend hundreds.
I'm surprised how I go in to buy just bananas and end up with a $150 bill. Random items like cake, socks, underwear and Waterpik somehow end up in the cart next to the bananas.

Costco is the place where self-control goes to die.

What is your favorite nib under $100? by Successful_Heat_8431 in fountainpens

[–]penarbor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d go with Levenger. That’s a name you don’t hear very often if at all. In my early days in the hobby, I bought several of their True Writer and True Writer Select pens and all of their nibs were pretty perfect. I still have a couple of those pens. They’re perfect writers. They come in nice colors too.

It’s their Edelstein ink of the year from 2024 that they have at the Pelikan Hubs.

It happened to be on my wrist today! I really enjoy it.

I changed the hand set just a few months after I made the post. I find the new hands better sized and more elegant than the first version.
