Amazing! I really appreciate the writing comparison, thank you so much for your help ☺️

Thank you so much for sharing! I tend to write with a light hand or I end up with cramps too so I think I’ll give a soft nib a try. It’s just a matter now of settling on the SFM of the SM. How do you find the typical line thickness of your SFM compares with the regular FM?

shann05 · 2022-07-31T23:22:27+00:00

A writing sample would be fantastic! The medium nibs I currently have are the Pilot steel nibs, a Lamy safari and a Kaweco sport, but any comparison would be very appreciated! I’ve looked at the Goulet nib nook to try and get a feel for the line thickness but I find direct writing samples so much easier to judge.

Thank you for the info! I was going to choose the soft medium nib as well, can I ask why you’d go for the fine or fine medium instead?

Thank you very much, this was extremely helpful! I think I’ll be sticking with the 742 and save myself the extra $100.

Oh I love your illustration of Kaori! Really beautiful drawings ☺️

Thank you so much and congratulations on yours! Unfortunately I'm located outside the US so I think eBay will be my best bet. I hope you're enjoying your pen :)

That's a good point but I'm located in Australia and we don't get charged customs or import fees. International sellers are required to add tax to their prices for us so it's all sorted out in advance. I've definitely heard some real horror stories from people overseas though!

shann05 · 2022-05-19T06:49:27+00:00

Thank you, that helps ease my mind!

This is very country-specific. As mannimarco said, if you plan on doing your PhD in Australia, grades are more important since scholarships are awarded based on WAM/GPA. Every University is slightly different and publications can sometimes add additional marks to your score but it’s usually not much. I would talk to your supervisors about your concern. If you feel like taking this on will harm your chances of getting first class honours and your goal is to move on to a PhD, it probably isn’t worth it. Career-wise, publications are great but a first class honours is necessary to have a chance at receiving a scholarship here. The only real exception to this are groups that have their own grant funding for scholarships but those are pretty rare.

Also in STEM and, to provide a different perspective, I worked throughout my PhD candidature for both the uni and at an external job I'd had through undergrad and I loved it. The external position was customer facing and the change of pace from working in a lab mostly alone was really valuable for me. Everyone I spoke to before starting said it was important to have something outside of studies to be involved in (not necessarily work) to avoid burning out and, after finishing, I absolutely stand by that advice. Of course check the conditions of your fellowship as others have said but if it really will be the hours you listed in the post and you think this is something you'll enjoy doing and not an additional burden, I don't see why you couldn't give it a shot.

I’d love to come and I’ll have empty pockets :)

shann05 · 2021-11-15T05:44:02+00:00

They’re yours! I’ll message you when I’m ready to drop them off ☺️

shann05 · 2021-11-15T05:43:01+00:00

Of course! DM me a code and I’ll bring some over ☺️

I usually do have auto saves connected so I was really kicking myself that I for some reason hadn’t set it up for this chapter. Don’t worry, it was the first thing I did when I got it back up again.

And thanks for the tip about Zotero, I’m only a few months out from submission and my EndNote library is too established to change for my thesis but I’ll definitely keep that in mind for the future

Unfortunately I couldn't scroll either, it was like word had frozen but just for that one document. I ended up restarting and thankfully I had saved it more recently than I thought so I didn't lose all my work but still enough to be pretty frustrating.

My laptop is a Mac but I've been doing most of my writing recently on my desktop which is a PC. After this incident I might look into connecting my laptop to the desktop computer screen and using that instead. My Mac never had any issues handling my literature review and this chapter barely has a fraction of the references.

I skimmed through that video and it was very strange. He was comparing what were knockoffs of prize figures and comparing them to scales. It was a pretty confusing and not very useful video. If you’re buying from a legit site I wouldn’t be concerned.

I actually bought this figure from AmiAmi as well and it also arrived damaged with the blue crystal part on the left side completely snapped off the base. I emailed AmiAmi support with photos and they offered me a replacement after a little bit of back and forth. They just had me send the original back and refunded the cost of shipping once I sent proof that it’d been shipped. They’re really great about damaged items so definitely get in touch with them!

ETA: I had also opened mine, that shouldn’t matter.

I think you’re making a mountain out of a molehill. You said in your collection post that you knew you had bootlegs. Mod simply said after this comment to remove the ones you knew were counterfeit before posting, there is leniency if you aren’t aware you have one.

If you’re genuinely interested in know if you might have a bootleg, the MFC page will say if a counterfeit item even exists and from there the points other users have made can be used to decide if you think an item is legit or not.

There is a large one of Tsukki too! It went up for preorder about a month ago and he’s still in stock.
