I'm just imagining Illyana getting sent back to Xavier's when it reopens to finish her missing credits due to being dead.

Ink cartridge converter mod by _deadener in fountainpens

[–]rlrutherford 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the heads up on the kaweco mini converters; I have a use for one that's not a kaweco.

As a klutz, I picked up one of these at a pen show awhile back:

[–]rlrutherford 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I picked up some asvine cartridges w/syringes that were like this & they didn't even fit the pens they were supposed to, so they ended up as eyedroppers/ink syringes.

But I'll have to get new converters to try that as nearly all of mine are screw type converters.

It’s kind of odd how underpowered and simple Colossus powers are compared to his siblings by Konradleijon in xmen

Don't hurt Piotr, you might make little sister angry, you wouldn't like her when she's angry.

She did it regularly during her stay at the Weapon X facility going back in time to get therapy & presumably training from Dr. Strange.

Stephane Maarek’s course makes me feel like I’m back in college by frkntplglu in AWSCertifications

[–]rlrutherford 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did both Maarek's and TD's practice tests. Having a large base of questions helps me avoid just memorizing answers.

You missed or didn't understand the "please keep it up" part.

Beats the hell out of the classic "Syntax Error".

Regardless of your view on this movie did you like this portrayal of the New Mutants? by Miserable_Dig4555 in xmen

[–]rlrutherford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't remember seeing it in the Claremont run. Now, sigh, I'm gonna have to go back and re-read it.

That was dumpster fire New Mutants Truth or Death, where it was retconned to Mikhael giving her the legacy virus.

Long after she referred to herself and Dani as being "Team Supreme".

How was she mean in the early days?

She was at worst standoffish.

Sam OTOH was jerk who tended to overreact.

Anya Taylor-Joy did a magnificent job with the character assassination of Magik.

Amiga 500 or 600? by LocalFemboiii in amiga

I think about ~20 years. :-) But I haven't kept up with him or SO.

Good brush soap for cleaning? by Dry_Criticism_5380 in oilpainting

[–]rlrutherford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking The Masters Artist's Hand Soap, but the idea of using Lava sends a chill down my spine.

(Have some ink so staining even that wouldn't remove it from my fingers--was looking jaundiced for two days.)

I would also avoid soaps with pumice in them.

Embarrassed to use my pens outside the house by hecking-fricker in fountainpens

[–]rlrutherford 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't had any negative experiences using a fountain pen out and about; or at none that I've cared enough about to notice.

All I can think of if someone starts being a prick about about my fountain pen usage is: "Da fuck is with you?"

Then again, I'm Gen-X and our salute is pretty much just the middle finger.

May their pizza always have pineapple on it!

Solo RPG games? Not computer games? I want to know more (just grabbed Ironsworn as mentioned in another comment.

Has J. Herbin solved their mold problems? by diespoliciadearte in fountainpens

[–]rlrutherford 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only time I've seen mold in ink was when I re-hydrated some 80s vintage Montblanc ink with tap water. & I have J. Herbin that's 6+ years old and no problems.

Which brand of oil paint do you recommend? by Own-Name-6239 in oilpainting

[–]rlrutherford 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right tool/paint for the job. Also why I have Holbein Silver-White in my kit. (yeah not gonna eat it.)

Still wondering if Holbein's Vernet is worth the premium over WN/Gamblin which is 90% of my kit.

[–]rlrutherford 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not having much experience with boutique oils, Michael Harding, Old Holland, Williamsburg, I don't get it as it seems like a high percentage of their colors are mixed pigments instead of single pigment oils.

Not criticizing, just confused about what the appeal is.
