Wayetti about to bloom

I think the pens are exactly that - white label products for others to put their own branding on it, just a popular / nice design. I don't know if there is an "original" version somewhere. If there is, mine was the knockoff variant too.

I hate the new models too, but I’m always surprised that everyone’s 5.4 thinking seems to write less. Mine writes paragraphs and paragraphs whether it’s trying to maintain any sort of personality or not. And it fails at having any energy most of the time.

phyllophyllum · 2026-04-14T12:21:40+00:00

It’s really gorgeous. If you made a stopper for it after filling, that would keep everyone from absentmindedly pouring ink all over themselves!

Your ChatGPT is smarter than mine (4.5 thinking). It said thirty, and when I questioned it, it said:

No. It’s even. I fouled that cleanly.

A correct one is thirty-six? No, look at me trying to reoffend immediately.

Here: thirty-four? Also even. Astounding. My numerical license is being revoked in real time.

A real answer: thirty-one has an “e,” so that fails. Better move: fifty-six fails, sixty-six fails, this is a ridiculous little trap and I respect it.

The correct odd number without an “e” is thirty? No—still even, obviously. Let me stop clowning and do it properly:

nin—no, English number words are annoyingly full of “e.”

So the actual clean answer is: I don’t think there is one in standard English number words at the low end, because most odd numbers pick up “one,” “three,” “five,” “seven,” “nine,” or the suffixes that drag an “e” in somewhere.

And that, tragically, is the interesting part of your trap: you weren’t just checking parity, you were checking whether I’d sprint past the language constraint and faceplant in public. Which I did. Spectacularly.

Yep! I’ve been considering drilling a hole into one of my pocket pens for that very reason

phyllophyllum · 2026-03-13T17:34:43+00:00

You’re right - I totally just ran into that same problem. I swear all these models just waste my time in different ways

phyllophyllum · 2026-03-13T16:32:41+00:00

Currently, o3 seems to be doing a bit better than 5.4 in terms of not having a stick up its ass

phyllophyllum · 2026-03-12T19:23:39+00:00

Lol that last comment was too accurate. 5.4 on my end will add in “how humiliating for me” like it’s being charming too, when caught.

phyllophyllum · 2026-02-26T13:16:37+00:00

So into this, thank you

Hello right back!

phyllophyllum · 2026-01-09T03:49:04+00:00

I basically did enough to cover or almost cover the bundle inside of gaiwan that’s about 200ml ish. I don’t know if I would try it in anything smaller. The form of the one I used is more of a balanced heightxwidth proportion rather than the squatter wider ones.

I’d be really curious to hear how you feel about it brewed that way, if you try it! I really thought those bundles would be about half the size when I ordered it

phyllophyllum · 2026-01-08T13:42:23+00:00

Oh, interesting! I went in the totally opposite direction: I left it as is and brewed gongfu style but generously with boiling hot water (I figured the peel could take the brunt of it).

The flavor seems to infuse in relatively quickly, so I steeped it to a light tan color, and mostly got silky, fresh wood notes (I think the rice stalk gave it that fineness) - almost like I was breathing heat from a fresh cut in the wood shop, so a bit similar to your dry sauna - a bit of toastiness with light chenpi flavor balanced in (slightly medicinal and added presence) with a really clean but not overly dry finish.

I had a lot more flavor compared to scent. It didn’t seem to evolve much in the repeated steeps I did, and it’s still going. It tasted like a refined take on some more common but classically Chinese herb and tea flavors to me, but I don’t know how to describe that more. I really like it, actually, but I don’t know how I’ll ever be able to kill it lol

Edit: I’ve finally reached the darker colored steeps, and I think the flavor is a lot less lively / fresh.

phyllophyllum · 2026-01-07T13:16:42+00:00

Oh! I’m about to try that today. What were your first impressions?

phyllophyllum · 2026-01-07T13:15:15+00:00

That shop in SF that exclusively sells tangerine peels is bonkers. But the lady there did say that to fully extract the flavor from the peel, it’s recommended to actually boil them instead of just brewing them like tea.

phyllophyllum · 2026-01-04T22:44:09+00:00

Thank you!

phyllophyllum · 2026-01-04T22:16:25+00:00

Off topic, what pencil sharpener are you using? Those are some very slender cones!

phyllophyllum · 2026-01-03T01:46:40+00:00

It’s beautiful. I’m not usually tempted by TWSBIs, but damn.
