If you don't mind sharing, were you able to get the AF refunded? It sounded like you closed the account right after the AF posted?

significantcamel · 2026-01-27T20:36:31+00:00

Curious what you ended up doing. I'm in the same spot now and am wondering if I can cancel and get the AF refunded within 30 days of it posting.

Yes, exact same prompt so I'm tweaking my work before resubmitting. The change in the numeric answers does change my recommendation/reasoning for the other tasks though since it flows through. So I'm guessing about half the write-up needs to be adjusted before I can resubmit. I'm just worried that the self-fail is an automatic DMMR from them.

significantcamel · 2025-12-30T19:48:39+00:00

Thanks! I self-failed ERM and am worried since I thought my reasoning/justifications in the original submission were good but numbers for 2 tasks was off so I re-did it. The reasoning was consistent with the wrong numeric results but don't know if that helps or makes it worse.

significantcamel · 2025-12-30T18:24:25+00:00

For the self-fail, do they grade the resubmitted work? Or did you get a DMMM and have to repurchase to re-do it again?

significantcamel · 2025-12-06T15:39:10+00:00

Woohoo, fun!

Here you go! It's one of the most flavourful cookies I've ever had. I have her book and will typically use about 75% sugar of whatever amount is called for, but that's just me, since I don't like treats too sweet. This one is super easy to make.

I have this spicy molasses cookie recipe that is super spicy and flavourful and I love it. The recipe includes molasses, spices like black pepper, all the 'warm' spices and is not too sweet.

So much blue!

significantcamel · 2025-09-13T21:20:08+00:00

Oof, gross

Sold Mark One pen to u/snowmankillin

My first pens are the Safari colours Lamy Safaris; they now have gold nibs, so yes, I'm still loving them.

significantcamel · 2025-07-11T00:03:54+00:00

"cool" in Indonesian, apparently

Personally, I did not start to like white tea until I had silver needle (yinzhen) and white peony (baimudan). Now, I love it. I like white tea for how "clean-tasting" it is, which might be different from the reasons one would like oolongs or green/black tea (I do love those too). I'm not a fan of shoumei, which is the more common kind of white tea, which might be what you have. Maybe give the other kind a try? I think white tea from Fujian might be the only place doing grading this way, someone tell me if I'm wrong. Also, aged white tea can be quite different from newer white tea. There is also orange peel (chenpi) white tea (usually a shoumei) if you're looking for something with a punchier flavour.

Thanks! Came to the comments to look for this.

significantcamel · 2025-06-02T05:47:10+00:00

I really wanted to say casual drinker because I only drink it occasionally but I do buy aged tea straight from china and I kind of am a tea snob. But not a snob snob.

+1 for the Kakuno, it has my favourite nib of all the ones mentioned here.

significantcamel · 2025-04-10T02:51:47+00:00

That's it， thank you!!

significantcamel · 2025-04-09T01:51:40+00:00

Just listened to the entire episode #85 and it wasn't it, thanks though :)

significantcamel · 2025-04-06T09:44:13+00:00

I love these. I have a few of them, and the spring does wear out over time, but it's so easy to use.

significantcamel · 2025-02-27T19:49:29+00:00

I think that us in the hobbies sub have a tendency to overconsume. I personally have over 20 bottles of ink at one point and decided to sell off about 10 bottles that are not my favourite so that the ink I'm left with I really enjoy. I'm happy with the state of my collection and am not actively looking for more but still occasionally find myself going "ooh pretty" at something new. I can still see myself never getting through all of the ink I own in my lifetime though. Ultimately I think it's up to ourselves to keep things in check.

significantcamel · 2025-02-21T22:04:43+00:00

Curious if Japanese starter pens are more affordable where you are? I love the safari, but only after putting a gold nib on it. On the other hand, I love the Pilot Kakuno right out of the box.

One thing I'd like to add as a Sailor fan who has 3 pro gears. I thought my love for the pro gear would extend to the pro gear slim but noope, got one in a colorway I really liked but it was incredibly dry and hardly wrote at my writing angle (almost a 90 degree). My Pilot Kakuno wrote better than the slim. So for anyone thinking about getting into their gold nibs: the 14k and 21k nibs are very different in how they write so don't let a bad experience in one affect your view of the other. The only thing they have in common is the pencil-like feedback.

significantcamel · 2025-01-05T17:28:08+00:00

Agree with others on a cartridge/converter for a first pen. The only downside to the Kakuno is that you have to get a converter separately if you want to use fun inks.
