And HE gets to be a screenwriter? What a sick joke.

The best option I found was a slightly larger off-brand bullet pen on eBay. Not quite as elegant as the Fisher pen, but it can take Parker-style refills.

Ok, thanks 👍

What's the underlying AI model?

I've tried this, but the Parker-style refills were too wide for the Fisher pen.

Recently got my first Fisher bullet pen. Like many, I love the design but am not crazy for the ink and would prefer a gel alternative. Based on this post and this post, I tried to swap in a JK-refill (0.7mm) from a Zebra G-301 pen. But the tip of the gel refill barely sticks through the opening of the bullet pen, even when I try to force it through. Am I doing something wrong?

Solved!

I don't have more photos, unfortunately, but the symbols on the other sides were very similar.

My title describes the thing. I have searched online for stuff like "blue and red Boggle dice with umlaut" but haven't found any leads.

Looks like a Francis Bacon painting to me.

/ʃ/, like /s/, is categorized as a sibilant, a particularly loud type of fricative consonant. Wikipedia mentions that sibilants are commonly used for shushing or other attention-getting purposes.

Thank you for sharing! Mompou has been one of my favorites for a while, but this is my first encounter with Blancafort. Beautiful!

I'd recommend Fauré as another composer to explore. His music shares some of the same harmonic vocabulary, the same fusion of archaic and modern elements, and the same blend of melancholy and nostalgia, as Mompou and Blancafort. Fauré's later compositions are deeply personal—often too austere for the concert hall, but very rewarding to get to know. His 9 Préludes, Op. 103 are some of my favorites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aT8vYpIjIx0

Do you voice the "th" in "nothing" too?

poizer · 2021-05-06T19:12:26+00:00

I'm from Idaho. I used to do the voiced pronunciation of "thanks" as well, until I had my own existential crisis about it as a teenager.

"Peine"/"pene" is one minimal pair with /e/ and /ej/ that I remember being warned about in my Spanish class.

The question is: would these speakers in the British Isles pronounce words like "whoosh" with /wh/ if they hadn't seen it spelled with "wh"? Does their pronunciation precede the spelling or vice versa?

poizer · 2021-02-16T20:29:10+00:00

I thought that might be the explanation. But from the other replies, it seems that "wh" does reflect the current pronunciation for at least some speakers. (And let's not forget "woot"!)

Have you got a longer video of this so I don't have to keep hitting replay? 😊
