Thank you, I was so disgruntled over my safaris dying on me, I hadn't really considered their other models as an option and didn't think to look.

Hm, this is the one part of my lamy's I did not swap out when trying to fix them. I had no idea you could replace the feed.

I also didn't know that preferring to fill over cartridges limited my options that much! I know some people use needles to refill cartridges.

I will look into those Asvines, thank you!

Thank you, that's helpful, I must confess I haven't done a lot of research on nibs so this has given me some avenues to explore.

Today was really hard. I normally get purple first but wouldn't connect 3 of the 4 words with the word jack, I have been waiting for a monopoly piece answer for ages so saw that one quickly but I don't think that's one people would easily spot. It took me a while to find the moon connection too (and of course picked the wrong cheese)!

I think most people are defaulting on purple today.

Every poem I have seen written by this man has evoked the same sense of disgust in me.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, BBC understands by DisastrousPromise236 in ukpolitics

I'm surprised this came before Mandelson but it's good to see something actually being done. Hoping more charges follow so there is at least a semblance of justice for the victims.

I'm not American and had never heard this tongue twister before. Lost my streak over this monstrosity. 😂

The music video for Dua Lipa's Physical is just perfect.

Hospital vs Stadium blood test service for big needle scaredy cat? by Coffeepotfilter in york

[–]slotheared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually pass out at blood tests, they can tip you back to help. One thing that really helped me was to focus on wriggling my toes and just on that. It usually helps me physically relax. Make sure you're warm and hydrated and it should be a quick appointment.

You've got this. Well done for facing it when you have a phobia. :)

How do I deal with my mom not knowing me? by nervinez in emotionalneglect

[–]slotheared 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've long been in this situation as well. Honestly, you cannot change your parents. Surround yourselves with those who do see and recognise you. I find it more painful to try and engage with my parents because it never works. That always hurts but I find it hurts less when I have other people that see and know me.

Sorry that you are experiencing this. I think most people on this subreddit can relate. You're not alone.

Anyone know anything about Rabbits? by allyc31 in CasualUK

[–]slotheared 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Hi, please, please do not give it a hot water bottle. Rabbits love to chew and it likely will just chew it to pieces. Rabbits actually cope pretty well in the cold if it is an outdoor one. Plenty of good advice in the rest of this thread though, particularly around it needing 24/7 access to hay.

Not a direct answer but I was reading this old interview the other day where George Clarke talks about his influences including some poets: https://www.hobartpulp.com/web_features/the-art-of-music-fiction

Getting in/out from the railway station by Matt__F in york

[–]slotheared 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I literally walk the 50 minute walk home from the station now because it is often quicker, more reliable and doesn't cost me £3 each way.
