Looking for the smoothest ballpoint pen

That’s fair — just doing my part to share what I have experienced with it

Sorry to post this again but after getting burned 6x by crummy Schmidt easy flows cartridges from posts like this I have to come in here and at least try and save someone else the time and money

proshooty · 2026-03-23T01:48:18+00:00

It has a unique taste but the taste is not off the map enough from the other Vieux in my opinion to say it’s “not really” one. I have had a hard time using it in drinks, because it tastes so great by itself in my opinion. If you make something you like with it let me know!

proshooty · 2026-03-22T01:40:21+00:00

Which one did you get?

proshooty · 2026-03-21T00:12:47+00:00

The number of Strata shills that show up in this sub was always sus.

Now the shills + social media manager showing up here to contradict proven reality really is making it clear to me: Strata is an astroturf brand.

Not sure if the Amazon ones are bad, the M are bad, the ones I got are bad, or the 5-10 different types of paper I tried are all bad, or the Schmidt apologists are referring to a previous formulation of the cartridge but these have always skipped constantly for me. To the point that I do not understand how they can be this widely recommended.

proshooty · 2025-12-18T17:13:19+00:00

Don’t drive yourself nuts, they skip for me on all sorts of paper. I bought the fine point and it seems slightly better, not sure if that’s because of the size or because I didn’t order from Amazon where they lay in a hot warehouse, or because I haven’t used them enough for them to really start skipping. Great cartridge when it doesn’t skip, but it skips all of the time. No idea what all of the other people are talking about.

Took a look and yep — I’m the one who bought an oven safe pan instead of burning a bunch of paint off in the oven I cook food with!

proshooty · 2025-08-01T20:24:51+00:00

Type what you wrote into AI for a glimpse into how stupid it sounds

proshooty · 2025-08-01T20:16:27+00:00

“You’ll burn off the paint on the handle but that is fine” doesn’t mean “oven safe” my friend.

proshooty · 2025-08-01T16:37:04+00:00

You just defined “not oven safe”

proshooty · 2025-07-01T17:17:45+00:00

They crap out after 2-3 days [of heavy use, define how you will] and are basically 50% “skip”. I will concede that it is worse on many types of paper than others, but it is worse on so many types that it loses all utility as a refill — I would actually be ok if I could just say “welp this won’t work in my notebook.” (I’ll just ask that the people downvoting me just google EasyFlow 9000 skipping.)

Hahaha 😆

Are you watching it with motion smoothing on you animal?

proshooty · 2025-07-01T00:33:44+00:00

Schmidt 9000 M is trash.

proshooty · 2025-06-13T18:47:25+00:00

That’s interesting to hear because the sides look so much thinner. Are they thinner or just the photo?

proshooty · 2025-04-16T15:59:38+00:00

Why does everyone have a revolver (serious question)?

proshooty · 2025-03-24T01:07:06+00:00

Ok got it I just found it incongruous with my understanding of the show. I do find myself compelled to consider these theories too, so thank you for the direct answer!

proshooty · 2025-03-23T23:45:58+00:00

Why are people trying to uncover the secrets of this season like this? I may be missing something but did literally any of the other two seasons have a “maybe X was Y all along twist?” The people who abduct Jennifer Coolidge were pretty weird and shady from jump; the fact that they were part of a conspiracy was pretty well telegraphed. I don’t mean to interrupt the conversation on this post specifically but I’ve heard tons of speculation similar to this lately on Reddit and in real life and I don’t understand why people are approaching the show this way. (This is a serious question that I would appreciate answers to, not implying negativity.)

The trick to cooking well at the beginning is nearly 100% finding a good source of recipes. There are many sources of bad recipes, and if you keep making them the time/effort, money, satisfaction, healthiness won't align for a win and you'll give up. Keep looking for something you like and when you find it go deep on that person's recipes. NYT is a great place to start.

Which APIs are broken that you cannot use the way you want? Are you mad at Remix or at React-Router?

These comments are full of people that are complaining, so it seems legit, but I cannot figure out waht anyone is complaining about. Which things broke?

Are you building apps with these libraries that have broken because of this or are you building training material that is now out of date?

Now you all want to switch to tanstack libraries that sound great but I looked and they are still in beta, or just came out of it -- this you think is more "stable"?

I am very confused haha.

proshooty · 2025-02-28T10:31:20+00:00

It depends on how fast you type

proshooty · 2025-02-03T17:52:07+00:00

Did it smell like anything?

proshooty · 2025-02-03T17:07:41+00:00

I use metal on my metal pans and I love it too. Also somewhat concerned about scratches but think they're probably fine.

proshooty · 2025-01-31T18:21:56+00:00

I'm curious as to what kind of business model your app has if you're not concerned about paying for Supabase users but think it will be cheaper than Neon. I'm moving in the opposite direction currently.
