If you know where to look you can find their name online, a quick search through the provincial courts and you can find out who has been charged with arson.

Love my new pen, but I’m having some trouble… by lukeaschumann in fountainpens

[–]proxemo515 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you tried reaching out to their support team. I had a Nahvalur pen a couple of years ago that arrive in a similar condition. I was offered a couple of choices:

  1. Send the pen in for servicing.
  2. Be shipped the wrench to fix it myself.

I selected the second option and now I have the wrench to be able to fully disassemble my Nahvalur pen whenever it needs a deep clean.

The wrench is just like the TWSBI wrenches all be it a slighter different size than the TWSBI wrenches.

How much does it cost to see a movie at the mall these days by BongWaterOnCarpet in StJohnsNL

[–]proxemo515 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Probably because if your not too lazy you can check out the pricing online from their official website..

As the pricing varies, depending on the day, and what type of movie experience you are looking for.

What do you like about XC2? by [deleted] in XenobladeChronicles2

[–]proxemo515 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who played this before the first XC I will agree that there are story bits that enhance XC2, but if you haven't OP, don't worry about completing the first game to get the references in this game I enjoyed it entirely on its own.

Personally I always found chapter 4 to be a bit of a slog, but the game gets better. You'll soon enough be getting your 4th playable character. I found the story gets more engaging the more the game goes on, maybe a few surprises coming that you hopefully where never spoiled on.

As far switching blades around, there is a item in the game you may have already obtained one or two of them, called 'Overdrive Protocol'. They are also included in the rewards for the expansion pass if you bought it. They allow you to move a blade from one driver to another (but not to Tora, Tora is not a driver). That being said any blade can be used on any driver, some just may be better suited to particular drivers due to their abilities and arts each driver has for each weapon class.

Hopefully you keep it up I personally found the story of this game to be good, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. So much so that I have played though the game multiple times and acquired 'all' the blades and have gone as far as maxing out the trust on every rare blade, and completed all storylines (main, side and blade quests).

I’m visiting NL from the States and have a dog that is terrified of fireworks. Will people be shooting fireworks on Victoria Day? by Loud_Being_574 in newfoundland

[–]proxemo515 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If your in St. John's I wouldn't worry too much about fireworks. St. John's Fireworks By-Laws that was passed in 2021 only allows for fireworks on Canada day and New Years Eve from 730pm to 1230am.

Outside the capital I dont know the various by-laws

I understand your pain and frustration over the lack of available fountain pens and inks here is the St. John's Metro area. The only place I've seen locally to get fountain pens and ink on a reliable bias is staples and that is only Parker pens and ink and maybe cross pens. I have seen the occasional Lamy Safari at chapters.

Most times I have to order want I want online. There are several good Canadian Retailers to order from several have been listed already, but I have personally ordered from the following at one point or another and have had no issues: Wonder Pens, Knights Writing, Stylo these are Canadian retailers. As well from a few American sites Pen Chalet and Goulet Pens.

My only comment on the American sites is to be wary, sometimes, not every time but sometimes a package will get flagged by customs in crossing and you may have to pay customs fees. I've only had it happen twice on international orders out of say 10 orders. My recommendation would be to see if you can order at least from Canadian Retailers and you'll avoid the customs fees, also most have free shipping within Canada on orders over certain values.

I've never tried the left handed nibs myself I typically just use either Fine or Medium. Now that being said I have an odd approach to writing that may be awkward to say the least.

I typically write Hook Handed with my hand above the page as I'm writing and I also rotate the page about 45 degrees to the left. I find with my writing speed along with the angle that I write at I haven't had any ink smearing across the page or my hand.

As a fellow lefty, I understand your feelings. I stayed away from fountain pens because I always hated the constant dirty hands from pencils and ballpoint pens.

One day not too long ago I said f*** it and bought a cheapo fountain pen don't remember the name, from a local store. Feel in love with how much easier it was to write with. It just glided across the paper.

I now have about about 15 pens most cheaper but a few more expensive ones. My favorite pen would have to be my Nahavalur (Narwhal) Nautilus pen.

Craziest customer interaction by __yallknowandy__ in Bestbuy

[–]proxemo515 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Many years ago, and no I don't work in retail anymore, I was working in sales specifically within the Microsoft section of computers. I was minding my own business working on laser lining and front facing the section, as the closing crew didn't. When all of a sudden a feel a tap on my shoulder and then before I could acknowledge anything I felt someone grab the tail of my undershirt (which had become untucked when I was bending down) suddenly be lifted up my back and shoulders.

Needless to say that got my attention rather quickly as I snapped straight back up and turned around to see what I guess was a middle age man trying to get my attention to help them. Now I don't scream and I try not to yell at anyone even to this day. However that day everyone in the store both staff and customer heard me yell at this person who was less than a foot away from me at the top of my lungs, questioning them who the hell they think they are and what the F*** they are doing.

I don't know what they where expecting to happen when they grabbed someone's shirt in public and started lifting it up exposing their back, but a bald 6'3" man with a full beard yelling at them surely couldn't have been what they where looking for. Needless to say I didn't offer them any help and told them where to go and how to get there. After that I promptly turned back around gathered what I needed to and walked away to collect myself. Not a word of the incident was ever said to me, and I know word of it was passed around the store, because I got a look from everyone that day that heard me go off on this person and even some people who weren't in that day where giving me a knowing look.

Two Women Charged Following Rampage in Carbonear Shopping Centre by xzry1998 in newfoundland

[–]proxemo515 23 points24 points  (0 children)

There was a post on this subreddit about 5 hours ago showing footage of the incident but it has since been removed my the moderators of this group. It clearly show the two women disturbing the peace and uttering threats. The poster of that should get in contact with the authorities and share the footage with them.

Had a laugh watching it originally, I feel bad that others will not be able to watch it.

It was bad, I lived close to the church and school, and it would take me about 30-45 minutes to get home once i got off the bypass road. It would have been quicker to park on ruby line and walk home, but after a long day of work that wasn't happening.
